The artwork of Arthur de Pins, funny, cartoony and typically French.
Colourful, cartoony and sometimes humorous illustrations by Richard Hogg.
When a street artist gets all sculptural, the works of Holland based DeltaInc.
Interesting use of biological forms with stark black on white contrast by Danish artist; Kasper Ledet.
Ok, so I am not actually recommending anyone watches Bee Movie, it is as poor as the title suggests (a typical DreamWorks wanna-b-pixar movie). But this article at cgsociety is a great inspection of the visual design process, from drawing to rendering, which is pretty good even if it is let down by the plot.
It also has some great imagery, like the Bee City (pictured) by Zhaoping Wai.
strange events at night disturb the quiet peacefulness of the the night forest
Excellent and slightly psychedelic renderings by Jonathan Ball.
Fascinating visualisation by London-based video artist; Bon-Bon, combining light and sound in the way that music programs always promise but fail to deliver.
Also worth seeing some of his other work, especially Mind The Step another visualisation in a different style.
Really nice to finally see some truly inspiring design on coinage. British graphic designer Matt Dent took part and won the new reverse designs competition which started in August 2005.
Which proves that one should never underestimate how slow bureaucrats can go when faced with really good design and much needed change.

Part sculpture, part proof-of-concept; Bert Simons creates ‘clones’ of people from real photographs mapped onto a 3d head, then flattened, printed and glued back together.
You can even print your own and make another clone of Bert Simons head.

A visually stunning anime adaptation of the wonderful manga by TaiyÅ Matsumoto. Tekkon Kinkreet is the story of two steet-kids attempting to keep ‘control’ of Treasure City, or ‘their city’ as they call it, and their struggle to ward off outside influences and the yakuza who want the city for themselves.
Tekkon Kinkreet is, by far, one of the best anime movies I have seen since Spirited away.
Once again, blurring the line between sculpture and manufactured design, London studio Troika have installed this amazing kinetic work inside the otherwise chaos-stricken Terminal 5 at Heathrow.

Wonderfully creative and colourful, the psychedelic album covers of the late 1960’s.
