"With a wildly surreal imagination, artist Rustam QBic from Kazan, Russia creates fish adorned with houses and windows, elephants sprouting giant buildings, and a goose whose feathers are made from a ocean of angry waves. Almost every one of his creations, be it on paper or on a wall is brimming with wonderful ideas and often have to be viewed up close to appreciate their full detail. He most recently completed murals for the LGZ Festival and for Art-Ovrag 2013, and you can see many more paintings, illustrations, and other work over on Facebook." via Colossal

Sinichi Higashi‘s series Graffiti of Speed/Mirror Symmetry takes street art to the next level as he symmetrically mirrors long exposure photographs to capture a rapturous, spaced-out view of Tokyo’s urban cityscape. His view is a fast-paced, futuristic world where ghostly flashes of bright lights form translucent, abstract lines and shapes that hover through the hard concrete and metal of the city’s engineering and urban plan. via

IEMZA is the alias of an artist living and working in Reims, France. He is fascinated by chaotic settings, reinforced concrete and abandoned building – basically, rubble. Which forms the mainspring for most of his output. He views these disregarded spaces as fertile ground in which his creations can be born – germinated paradoxically by what appears to have sunk into oblivion and desertion.
"The rendering of my wall compositions is close to a sketch, integrating a vast hierarchy of lines."

"Following the success of our previous viral for the PlayStation Store, we were asked to create a short promo film for Sony Entertainment Network. Unlike the previous film, this piece of content had to work much more like a traditional advert, getting across all the services, features and benefits, albeit in an entertaining way." says Studio Output about their recent work "Listen. Watch. Play"

The film feels like a monster pop-up entertainment event, held in a large warehouse space somewhere in London with a vast labyrinth of different entertainment rooms showcasing music, movies and games. The rooms have everything from huge gaming simulators in an aircraft hangar, to a real-life version of LittleBigPlanet, plus EQ and Bravia installations, a content room to navigate through all the titles, an epic cinema room, murals, live art and graffiti.
