"The inspiration can come from anywhere, i find beauty in most things. A lot of my work is generated from fashion imagery, but i love to create my own ideas from other areas of interest such as music, film, the natural world, past fashions, dreams and utopian worlds."

Alphabetical

in , , , ,

The project Alphabetical started in several years ago when Creative Review commissioned Dan Tobin Smith to create "a Letter A" for their Annual. "Each Letter has a different approach but uses Helvetica as the base typography. Most are temporary installations, some use landscape and some were conceived as primarily moving image (such as Letter T).

New Letters will be added as they are finished and supporting material including work in progress will be added from time to time."

Mr.Frivolous

in , , ,

The moment I am still impressed from what I saw on Mr.Frivolous portfolio. His simple, hence striking, portraits created by using only pencils and felt-tip pens and seems he spends an overnight to create each piece. The speed of drawing, techniques, drafts and later original prints, creates the unique atmosphere while surfing his Flickr account. It is enjoyable.

Sony Music Timeline

in , , , ,

The history of Sony Music is charted in a typographic timeline installed in the company's London HQ, created by designer Alex Fowkes. The huge wall graphic features the names of nearly 1,000 artists signed to the major label and its affiliates, beginning with the foundation of Columbia Phonograph Company in 1887, to recent signings Post War Years and A$AP Rocky. The Sony Music Timeline celebrates 125 years of musical history covering almost 150 square meters of wall space in Sony’s Derry Street headquarters. Using just CNC cut vinyl as the sole medium, 54 columns measuring over 2 meters tall cover feature nearly 1000 of Sony Music's signed artists from 1887 to the present day.

Emma Pike, VP Industry Relations, who commissioned the piece said, “The brief was to bring the inspiration of our music into the heart of our building and make our office space live and breathe our incredible musical legacy. Alex’s beautiful graphics and illustrations do exactly that.”

Portraits Drawn with Tea, Vodka, Whiskey and Ink by Carne Griffiths

in , ,

UK-based illustrator Carne Griffiths creates these striking portraits with uncommon mediums such as tea, brandy, vodka, whiskey, graphite and calligraphy ink. His drawings most frequently explore human and floral forms, as says he’s “fascinated by the flow of line and the ‘invisible lines’ that connect us to the natural world.” The four pieces above are part of a limited edition postcard set just released by Griffiths, each of which comes in a fancy custom-illustrated, wax-sealed envelope.

Nikolay Biryukov

Russian-born fashion photographer Nikolay Biryukov is currently based in London. He works between London, Moscow, Paris and Milan shooting mainly fashion stories for a range of international magazines. Recent work includes editorials for magazines such as Elle Ukraine, Interview Russia, L'Officiel, Stylist UK, SNC, and many other. I personally admire Nikolay's website as an example of perfect photographer's portfolio - no flash, previews and etc. Just pure awesome HD images.
