Magomed “MAGO” Dovjenko “DOMO ARIGATO” Series

in , , , , , , ,

"Domo Arigato" as a series takes a look at the paralleled cultural influences of early childhood many of us have experienced and or have seen exhibited today. Classic Japanese cultural icons are infused with luxury branding brilliantly creating an conversation around the identities of the youth today.Mega Man meets Comme, Sonic meets Louis Vuitton, in a iconoclash that's a truly astute observation of today's influences. We are looking forward to seeing how the series is utilized within the real world. We've included an synopsis about the series directly from the artist Mago as well: "Whether Sailor Moon, Son Goku or Pokemon - all these Japanese anime figures were a big part of our childhood. My biggest inspiration for this project was to combine classic Japanese anime characters with luxury brands like Gucci, LV or Chanel to show the brand affinity of the Japanese culture. The series is also strongly influenced by my unique illustration style I've created over the past few years that is characterized by a strong love for details.Take a closer look and discover my passion for anime and luxury brands."

That's really intriguing when less works is more about quality and attraction, like here with Vika Zobenko's few personal illustration works. I like the way she builds and atmosphere with a few details and a strong drawing line especially when it comes to personages. Hope to see more of her works soon on http://www.behance.net/vikazobenko

Fashion attack by Tara Dougans

A second fashion attack by Tara Dougans mimicking and reworking men fashion haute-coutre in illustrative way, now made after Paris Fashion Week. "Originally concepted as an 'animated editorial', the project kicked off shortly after Paris Fashion Week Menswear in January. Inspired by the Burmese proverb 'beware of a man's shadow and a bee's sting', the idea was to juxtapose the subtle stoicism of menswear imagery with a cheeky animated wink. Having previously worked almost exclusive with pencil, the aim was to create a multisensory experience without losing the feel of handcraftsmanship."
