Abstract Digital Art by Sam Chirnside

"Sam Chirnside (previously) is an Australian born graphic artist, working between New York City and Melbourne.Informed by the notion of altered states of consciousness, Sam’s work is an exercise in contradictions of order and incomprehension. Collage elements, oil-like pastel distortions optical illusions and esoteric iconography contrast with a balanced composition. In combination with an evident interest in ancient civilizations and sacred geometry (a discipline that popularises proof of cosmic significance, divine design intervention and above all, order) the resultant body of work is as close to a disorientation of the senses as design can achieve – and that is just how he likes it."

WWF Just

To help spread WWF’s sustainability message in a new way Leo Burnett Sydney helped people rethink how they consume by creating a range products called just. 100% natural and packaged in recycled and biodegradable materials, each was an alternative to a mass-produced product, free from plastic containers. Made available at produce markets, just reminded people that they were already buying many of the ingredients they need to live more sustainably. A dedicated microsite also housed a series of simple and light-hearted ‘how-to’ videos to show how easy it is to use the products while promoting WWF’s core aim of creating a world where humanity and nature live in harmony.

Post-Soviet Pin Up by Kathrin Longhurst

Raised in East German Kathrin lived in many European countries and finally settled down in Australia. Her works reflect the diverse cultural background and strongly influenced by Communist era, but personally I'd call her canvases the pin-up reflection on a non-existent military post-soviet country. "Women of the Revolution" is her ongoing series of pinup portraits mixed with Russian slang words from "Bitch" to "Pretty". Follow up her latest artworks on kathrinlonghurst.com

Art of Anwen Keeling

The work of Anwen Keeling is defined by feminine beauty. It is a world of soft tones, gentle curves and reposed thought. Light plays across a form as a liquid element caressing and defining its own trajectory insensible to pattern and mood. The woman herself: young; beautiful; supple is defined by form.
