Best Wishes 2017 by Karina Eibatova

Russian illustrator Karina Eibatova (you may remember her by latest work for Hotel on Rhodes Island) decided to make your year 2017 much brighter than previous one and you can't disagree with that fact. "Best Wishes, 2017" is her new initiative where you can enter and preorder a beautiful print and a scarf to deliver you each month with a challenging lifestyle message next year. Karina spent 5 years in creating this project so at the end you will enjoy your full 12-pieces season collection of her artworks and scarves or even few of them if you book a season or two of it on Kickstarter page

“The idea is to share my art through the clothing and interactive poster in which a person could write a goal of the month, inspired by the artwork.​ ​The project is created to inspire and motivate people, to make art less elitarian, to share ​a collaborative vibe of an artist and a musician.​”

— Karina

Just few days ago he started a new campaign for Advent Calendar

“Fuck chocolate.
A group of naked people slowly revealing themselves over the duration of a month is so much better (IMO).
Treat yourself in December by removing a different humans clothes each day.
Each person is numbered (1-24) and their clothes are printed with a rub removable opaque gold ink (or in layman’s terms - that stuff you get on scratch cards).”

Paperlux for Boris Dlugosch

Paperlux, Hamburg does not hide their excitement over the recent project made for legendary house music producer Boris Dlugosch

“What would you say if a house music legend, that only a few years ago made you get up in the middle of the night, cue at the club »Front« in Hamburg and dance till dawn, now asks you design his 20th anniversary vinyl cover?
We can’t believe our luck and keep pushing’! Very graphic and pure, but also complex and a little bit playful – that’s what we wanted the design to imply. Reduced to the beginnings: Detroit’s concrete, urban straightforwardness and a vibrant red served as our ingredients.

The vinyl does without the obsolete list of tracks and is covered by a paper sleeve that is also a poster. The cover illustrates the twenty years and you can see the »Keep Pushin’« transforming into »Still Pushin’« through the die-cut paper. The font GT Haptik provided the necessary rectilinearity with a playful twist.
Everything was printed via silk-screen printing. Together with the French paper group Arjowiggins we produced a second edition sporting four colours of their bright and lively Pop’Set collection. So now what? Don your dancing shoes and forever Pushin’!”

Contrived Structures Nick Sellek

Contrived Structures is a series of photographs created by Nick Sellek depicting detailed models, embracing the contrived structures that surround us in our overdeveloped urban environments. They are close up, exaggerated studies of architectural components, severed from context to emphasise the absurdity of their design.

Malevich Gestalta

Moscow-based designer Maksim Arbuzov made a sort of an art statement by juxtaposing two icons of mass-production and contemporary art: IKEA and Malevich

"The moment when culture is reflecting in a mass product. Time is going and we often don’t see how history influences to our culture and markets. My idea is to show how through time frames art objects can find reflection in mass-market products. Malevich's Gestalta representing a contemporary culture was created from two famous man-made pieces from different centuries"
