Russian digital artist Slava Semeniuta shares his latest photography manipulations in a project called "Another Earth"
Drawing the most feminine parts of the female body as a series of dishes – isn’t that a bit over the top? Trying to fully express women’s desire for sexuality and even its symbolic form, through the tip of a pen – isn’t that a bit audacious?
Claudia Chanhoi, a Hong Kong-born and U.S.-based artist, says most of her creations feature women’s body parts but aren’t only about women’s sexual desire. They also represent the artist herself, a modern straight woman.
Mike Driver, a London, based freelance illustrator, currently represented by MP Arts. "His textural and brightly-hued work, full of long-limbed characters is a joy to look at. Their crispness and clarity suits print wonderfully but his use of both digital and analogue techniques keeps things interesting."
British art director based in Vietnam, Andrew Millington shares the latest branding work he did at Prophet with Hector Pottie for West Studios. This concept was all about transforming the home of British television into a place that people could call their home.
There is no doubt that future is female and bright, and the portfolio of Barcelona-based graphic artist Andrea Robescu you see below is a strong evidence of it. Worth to mention Andrea is a crime partner of our long-term friend Andrei Robu helping him with graphic projects on daily basis
Her art breaks the boundaries of how the body and facial features are illustrated through photography in the fashion industry and by using a more relaxed and fun way of looking at things she expressed and embraced the human sexuality in a playful and empowering way.
Bold colours and abstract shapes play a big part of Andreea’s work. She’s creating powerful visuals using everything from markers to acrylics, pencils and ink, sometimes even her bare hands making the whole process a very personal one. Her energetic illustrations attracted the eye of various global brands and publications.
“Every now and again a job comes along that makes you remember why you love making films so much. Boys & Girls asked me to travel to the heart of Mexico to make a film for Jose Cuervo in the town of Tequila. Our mission, to capture the spirit of Jose Cuervo, the town and its people. This is the result and it became more than just a film for me, it was a trip I will always remember and a group of people I’ll never forget. Everybody mucked in to make this as special as it really was.”

“The world of post-truth is not just a simulative copy of the real world, but a hyper-saturated version that seeks to surpass it.
This is about media and politics, where the facts have lost power and turned reality into fake, which is accepted as true. Let us imagine that the perception of the objective world exists by the same rules. While alteration of elements and scales is a lie, the image remains recognizable and gives a delusive sense of truth - the victory of emotions over facts. The reality here is physically distorted, almost surreal, filled with anxiety and frustration.
Synthetic hair - a material, that unites all objects, symbolizes the femininity, its strength and magic. The same way as the power of words is used to distort facts in media, I use the power of hair, archetype, lying deep in the subconscious, to manipulate the perception. This literally soft, anti-monumental material revives objects so you want to touch them. In the era of cyberspace subject of tangibility is more relevant than ever.”

"The main idea of the project is to esthetize kinesiotherapy and to popularize the possibilities and techniques of applying this method through a series of advertising posters.
The concept of the tape project is to show the relationship between functionality and aesthetics.
Each kinesiology method has its own dynamics, plasticity and graphics. Therefore, visual images divided into directions to represent a certain method of taping, functionally confirmed. In addition to distribution by methods of taping, images are built on the difference of colors and lines contrasts."
