Movie Poster Masters
Movie poster design can be a true art, and Austin, TX-based studio Mondo are masters. We actually love the official poster for the sci-fi thriller Looper. But Sony Pictures also teamed with Mondo (and specifically illustrator/designer Martin Ansin) to create limited edition posters for the film (one in gold, one in silver, which apparently has…

Made by Molloy
New Jersey-based multidisciplinary designer and illustrator Michael Molloy has an incredible archive of illustrations that showcase not only his freehand skills, but also his Photoshop proficiency. What could easily turn into a gratuitous marriage of pencil and Photoshop, is actually really well balanced in Molloy’s care. His excellent drawing skills are only punctuated by the…

Japanese artist simply known as Makaon creates these phenomenal figures from cans. The details achieved here are really something to see. We love when artists use random objects as art, and Makaon’s work is right up there. Can we get some of these for our desks, please? Via Makaon’s site

Do Good Doodles
The work of Malaysian illustrator Lim Heng Swee (aka ilovedoodle) just brings a smile, even on this Monday morning. Her work is uncomplicated and, most of all, fun. She has quite a body of work that’s growing everyday (you may have seen her doodles on t-shirts and/or prints). Swee says of her own work, “Life…

Blogger Seth Rosenthal recently sat down with the man behind the Knicks logo, New York-raised, Los Angeles-based designer Michael Doret. It’s a great look at the process, and…

Chocolate Artistry
Yes, design can be editable too. We do love all things food, so when we happened upon the work of UK-based chef turned chocolatier Paul Wayne Gregory, we had to share. His award-winning work is apparently not only delicious, but also pretty amazing from an artistic standpoint. He does custom work for corporate and individual…

Assemblage Series
We must admit, we are suckers for mosaics. The thrill of approaching a piece of art with the gradual reveal of being an assemblage of some sort never gets old. Florida-based artist Zac Freeman, too, clearly has an affinity for the conglomeration of smaller pieces to build a whole. And he does it masterfully. His…

Fun Fruit Skin Packaging
Some packaging is simply just fun, as is the case with this series of fruit juice packaging. Not sure how banana juice tastes, but Japanese industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa certainly makes it look enticing with his thoughtful design. “Materials are not the mother of design,” says Fukasawa. “Materials and means are the result of thinking…
