"Lithuanian designer Gogelmogel specializes in a mix of simple ideas with a side of humor. Once such example is the latest project, the Blah Blah Blah book. The book is pretty much exactly what it seems – a book filled with blah, blah, and more blahs." via Design Milk

Mulheres Barbadas, aka the Bearded Ladies, are Henrique Lima and Julio Zukerman. Working together based in São Paulo since 2007, the illustration duo joined forces to fill empty spaces with monochromatic doodles. Today their work varies between digital mediums, murals, drawings on paper and on different objects, always with too much information and too little colors.

Young Russian sculptor Alexey Morosov held a solo exhibition in Russian Museum in Saint-Petersburg titled "Antologia" that included 48 of his works.
"The heroes that are marked by inspired beauty and imposing harmony seem to be protecting themselves from the threat of invisible aggressive force in the most part of presented works. The high skill of execution, natural combination of tradition and innovation, canonical and spontaneous helps Aleksey Morozov to discover the new possibilities of plastic language of the Antique Art and to emphasize the eternal significance of its humanistic ideals." was stated in museum's press release.
Morozov believes that European civilization must more often refer to the past, and revisit its positions towards allegory, myth and historical scenes in order to discover a new meaning. The art of Alexey Morozov proves that classical forms have not died, and that traditions andinnovations may well coexist.
