Having featured Niels Shoe Meulman’s calligraphy in 2012 and 2013, it seems like a good time to check up on the artist. This year he is using pearlized acrylic paint which changes colors when viewing at different angles. It is also fascinating to see images of his painting process showing the various brushstroke layers that form his eye-catching work.
There is a tendency in today's world, associated with plastic surgery craze. Many people have a severe psychological dependence chasing the elusive perception of beauty. A person falls under the plastic surgeon's scalpel again and again. It seems that we have forgotten the simple truth that each of us is perfect and unique from birth.
CLASSICS VS PLASTICS is non-profit social project reminding the public about the problem of depence from the plastic surgery. Because the natural beauty is more important than imaginary aestetic standarts. How we are bringing this idea? Quoting the truly great men — the classics of their time.

While watching Evgeny's latest calligraphy video my brain was pulsating with "It is impossible" warning messages. Lettering is still the most impressive handcrafted state of art we are able to enjoy in 21 century. Ink pens and precious hand's movements will leave your mouth agape till the last dot in Evgeny Tkhorzhevsky portfolio.

I was happy enough to listen guys from Vault49 on scene at OFFF earlier last month and this was really inspiring to see them doing many of "3D" or "digital" things by hands and with low-fi paper models. Less 3D more hands - that's what we get from Vault49, London born studio moved to New York for new opportunities.
