Stacked Summer

My intention was to make a "have a nice summer"-post, but I ran out of time, so instead I'm doing a "did you had a nice summer"-post? Mine was warm, long and lazy. But with all the new followers and of course also for the old ones, I'm trying hard to get back to business and do some nice blogposts. Here's the first one - still with a summer feeling to it. Love the warm, ice cream pastel colours and the simple idea in these stacked book prints by mixed media artist Marisa Swangha. Her work are heavily informed by codes and subtexts and patterns in culture; issues of time, design, desire, history, nature and memory. Buy here! Via Curate 1k.

Minimalism to its Maximum

The art by textile designer and artist Vibeke Rohland, living and working in the heart of Copenhagen, is rooted in tradition as well as modern contemporary art. It seeks the basic form of pattern, the geometric simplicity and minimalism to its maximum, and she has neutralized the content of symbols via the juxtaposition of the signs and their reduced form. Her work goes straight in to my simple graphic designer heart and fills it with total pleasure!

Iconic Architecture Illustrations

At first glance these posters look like they were made in the 1920ies, but since most of these iconic buildings were build much later, they must be new? And they are – beautifully executed by Portugese architect and illustrator, Andre Chiote. Buy here - he ships everywhere! Via Trendland.

Great Graphic Inspiration #15

Notting Happened On This Day is a project by Fatti Burke – a graphic designer and illustrator living in Dublin City with his hamster Steven Gerrard. Scientists have pinpointed the 20th Century’s most boring day as April 11, 1954, and Fatti Burke have managed to show the boring news in a very interesting way. So cool!
