Beth Cavener Sculptures

September 11, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Sculpture, TOP 2015, USA, 2015

The sculptures of Beth Cavener focus on human psychology, stripped of context and rationalisation, and articulated through animal and human forms. Cavener wants to pry at those uncomfortable, awkward edges between animal and human. Entangled in their own internal and external struggles, the figures express frustration for the human tendency towards cruelty and lack of understanding

The Brutal Topical Illustrations by Steve Cutts

September 02, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Illustration, Portfolios, TOP 2015, United Kingdom, 2015

Steve Cutts studied Fine arts in university, and worked at Glueisobar as the main storyboard concept artist. “In terms of process every piece for me is different. I don’t have a standard way of doing things,” Cutts said in an online interview. “At any one time I’m usually juggling a few projects – I tend to work intermittently, working on one piece, then doing something else for a bit before coming back a few days later to the first piece with a fresh perspective. That always helps me to focus on the bigger picture.”

New NASA Logo Concept made by Russian

August 24, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Graphic Design, Portfolios, Russia, TOP 2015, 2015, Branding

"The Russians were NASA’s chief rival during the space race, so it’s ironic that it took a young Russian named Max Lapteff to design a smart, speculative rebranding of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration logo. The mark pulls off a hat trick, referencing NASA’s illustrious past, nodding to its dreams of taking us to new planets, and ditching the dated features of the old logo." says Wired and this story seen ironically funny in all possible ways.

James Rawson Art

August 17, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Art, Portfolios, TOP 2015, United Kingdom, 2015

Artist James Rawson resides in Norfolk, England and is a postmodern pop artist. Predominantly working in the medium of collage and painting, Rawson found no inspiration in the beautiful Norfolk landscape he grew up in; instead, the landscape of pop culture fed his artistic drive.

James’ work blurs the boundaries between collage and painting, using preparatory paper collages as reference for his larger paintings. He aims to reflect the multi-layered visual experience we all live in. Appropriating the very images that have become implicit in our society, James’ work disturbs our sense of reality and confuses our perception of popular culture.

Blue-pencil Wild-Man Drawings by Zachari Logan

August 11, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Canada, Illustration, Portfolios, TOP 2015, 2015

"Blue pencil drawings by Canadian artist Zachari Logan depicting a man engulfed by plants, animals, and insects. Logan uses himself as a model for his drawings and paintings, turning his elaborate studies of nature to explore intersections between masculinity, identity, memory and place. His idea of a man entwined with nature, a life unfamiliar to most of us, is his concept of a unified man who Zachari believes has disappeared in the 21st century."

Lexus Hoverboard

August 05, 2015 by Arseny Vesnin in Design, Motioncollector, TOP 2015, 2015

Just as promised, Lexus come through with a full and final reveal of its highly-anticipated hoverboard. The board has been in development for 18 months, as Lexus — alongside a team of scientists from IFW Dresden and evico GmbH — have recently concluded a successful testing stage in Barcelona, courtesy of pro skateboarder and hoverboard test rider Ross McGouran.

The Lexus Hoverboard features two “cryostats,” reservoirs in which superconducting material is kept at -197 degrees through immersion in liquid nitrogen. Permanent magnets then rest underneath the board, as Dr. Oliver de Haas, evico CEO, says, “The magnetic field from the track is effectively ‘frozen’ into the superconductors in the board, maintaining the distance between the board and the track—essentially keeping the board hovering. This force is strong enough to allow the rider to stand and even jump on the board.”

Believe it or not, future is near (or on 15.10.2015)

Generative Fashion by Danit Peleg

Danit Peleg: "In September 2014 I started working on my graduate collection for my Fashion Design degree at Shenkar. This year, I decided to work with 3D printing, which I barely knew anything about. I wanted to check if it'd be possible to create an entire garment using technology accessible to anyone. So I embarked on my 3D printing journey, without really knowing what the end result would be."
