Modern urban solitude stamped on carbon with stencils "display an uncanny attention to detail, depicting light and shadow that transforms mundane surfaces of consumer packaging into fascinating, seemingly multi-dimensional pieces of art."

On my opinion, "Tomorrowland" photography project by Ben Sandler is an attempt to imagine our reality without digital innovation and still analogue. It is a kind of the future I would like to make a stop in.

After hysterical rocket start of Instagram (@designcollector) here comes a ton of clones but only few other good and related apps are taking their niches. For all loop GIF and Cinemagraphs lovers here goes the ultimate short animation tool - Cinemagram for iPhone. With quite smart interface one can take a short mobile film and than animate selected zone and create an awesome GIF worth to share across the web or on Cinemagram website. Don't limit creativity with cats, facial expressions and etc.
New works from Chinese illustrator often lead with "fashion" word for his tender and sensible artworks - Janboy from Chengdu. For me, his works like a world sized sponge absorbing all styles and reworking them in very special manner that you can't directly attach them to any culture.
