Antoine+Manuel’s Parisian Tubemap

Integrale by Antoine+Manuel

This is French designers; Antoine + Manuel’s variation of the Paris metro. I would love to see their take on the London tubemap.

They also do a great line in illustrated wallpaper enhancements and modular carpets.

Form & Photography by Géraldine Georges

Esprit de la Forêt by Geraldine Georges

A brilliant combination of photography and graphics by Belgian artist Géraldine Georges.

A Trip To The Park

A Trip To the Park by David Garvin

The world of candy canes and saturation gets an abstract-impressionist makeover in David Garvin’s uplifting and colourful illustrations.

Matt Stuart Shoots People

12/36 Covent Garden by Matt Stuart

Ever spot that guy who would blend in with the crowd if it weren’t for that rather large, expensive looking camera? It is very possible that it could have been Matt Stuart, a master at capturing ordinary people’s moments around London.

Snowy Landscapes From Martin & Muñoz

Cold Front by Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz

The snowy landscapes of Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz are something to behold. They also create the most wonderful sculptural snowglobes containing similar scenes.

Resonating Rice

Thanks go to Nick for sending this intriguing video of patterns created by the influence of different resonances on rice.

The Land of Food

Photography by Carl Warner

Some amazingly well constructed and photographed landscapes made entirely from various foods.

All credit goes to the photographer and (I assume) foodsculptor; Carl Warner, more of his very impressive work can be seen here.

Lee Hasler’s Iconic Isometric Illustrations

Clean PC by Lee Hasler

I have always loved the isometric pixel-art style of illustration. Illustrator Lee Haslor creates what can only be described as vector-based pixel-art (or: pixel-art without the pixels).

San Francisco in Jelly

San Francisco City Hall in Jell-O by Liz Hickok

Imagine a city made from jelly. Liz Hickok did more than imagine, she actually re-created downtown San Francisco in beautiful, brightly coloured jelly.

Augmented Sculpture by Pablo Valbuena

I am still a little unconvinced by the video that this is not a 3d rendering, but apparently it is real and was shown in Madrid.

Created by Pablo Valbuena, it mixes a “volumetric base that serves as support for a second level, a virtual projected layer that allows controlling the transformation and sequentiality of space-time.”

The Augmented Sculpture is something really quite amazing to behold.

Drawing With Light In 1979

Poseidon, 1979 by Eric Staller

Pop-sculptor and photographer Eric Staller started his career making wonderful images using light structures and long exposures.
