Alex Novoseltsev illustrations

in , , ,

I bet you will enjoy this portfolio of Russian illustrator and digital artist Alex Novoseltsev. It is all about cartooning and awesome techniques of caricature art. Beside the fact that each portrait is a small digital arts masterpiece, they all have a soul and and a grotesque feature of an object whenever it is an actor or celebrity.

The Invisible Bicycle Helmet

in , ,

We have been following this product since last year from its concept to a real Invisible Bicycle Helmet called "Hödving". Designed by Terese Alstin and Anna Haupt it makes a big steps now on a real market. It's ergonomic, it's practical, it complies with all the safety requirements, and it's also subtle and blends in with what else you are wearing. Worth to mention Invisible Helmet is made for people who prefers good looking to personal safety (yes, you) and especially when riding a bike (have you ever saw a fixed-bike lover with that bulky still safety helmet from a nearby store? No).

in , , , , , , ,

"Domo Arigato" as a series takes a look at the paralleled cultural influences of early childhood many of us have experienced and or have seen exhibited today. Classic Japanese cultural icons are infused with luxury branding brilliantly creating an conversation around the identities of the youth today.Mega Man meets Comme, Sonic meets Louis Vuitton, in a iconoclash that's a truly astute observation of today's influences. We are looking forward to seeing how the series is utilized within the real world. We've included an synopsis about the series directly from the artist Mago as well: "Whether Sailor Moon, Son Goku or Pokemon - all these Japanese anime figures were a big part of our childhood. My biggest inspiration for this project was to combine classic Japanese anime characters with luxury brands like Gucci, LV or Chanel to show the brand affinity of the Japanese culture. The series is also strongly influenced by my unique illustration style I've created over the past few years that is characterized by a strong love for details.Take a closer look and discover my passion for anime and luxury brands."
