Implausible Pliability

What the…!? The unbelievable work of UK designer/illustrator Chris LaBrooy (previously featured here) elicits confusion, amazement and delight all at the same time. LaBrooy’s tremendously realistic (yet highly unlikely) 3D creations are nothing short of spectacular.

Voluminous Alphabet by Alexis Persani

It’s no secret that we are totally taken with graphical interpretations of the alphabet, conceptual typography, and works that are done as a series.
