I’ve been meaning to post about the incredible work of Nick Dewar all week, these images have been hanging out on my desktop waiting… Above are my two favorites, not that i’m on a death theme or anything, but they were just so beautifully dark!
Who is he? “Born in Scotland, grew up in a small fishing town on the East Coast and attended Art School in Glasgow, lived in Prague, London, New York and on a sheep farm in Cumbria. After living in New York for nearly ten years I have recently moved to Southern California. I no longer have to bathe in my kitchen.” Additionally unless you’ve been hiding under a rock, you’ve probably seen his work in a slew of top magazines, newspapers, book covers, corporate work and more… and it’s easy to see why. He’s incredibly talented and makes you laugh while taking on less than happy subjects. And besides his brilliant portfolio online… i love that he has a “But How?” section of his site, answering Q&As for artists and illustrators, showing off some of the behind the scenes sketches, and more!

I came across Wing-Ip Ngan’s Etsy store a while back and fell in love with his prints - so colorful and whimsical…They remind me a bit of the nonsensical phrases on notebooks and cards that I used to come across during my childhood in Thailand - lighthearted and a little bit random. Wing-Ip uses a Gocco primarily to print and I have to give props to his Gocco skills - all of his prints are made of multiple screens and colors (registration is no easy feat, people, at least not with our little B6 machine).
More of Wing-Ip’s prints can be found in his Etsy store. For some of his graphic design work, check out Ink Design.

Alberto Seveso is an Italian designer who has developed his own style of combining photography with vector illustrations with lots of colours and shapes. Bodies of the models are covered with the combinations of stripes, dots etc.
Original style, fresh concepts combining the photography with illustrations- amazing stuff.
Alberto’s portfolio consists of the works made in this technique. And there are actually many of those there, try it out.
If you’re interested you can also read the interview with Alberto Seveso here. He is explaining a little bit about his career in design, the inspirations, story behind “sperm shaping” (that’s how he refers to the style he created).
