3rd Wave of Inspiration
Since 2003
Multi-talented Swiss-born filmmaker and photographer Vincent Laforet has wowed his fans with breathtaking late-night aerial photos of New York City, illuminated by the lights of a city that never sleeps. He shot the series “Night Over New York” while sitting on the edge of a helicopter flying above the Big Apple.

Paper artist and illustrator Ollanski is a graduate from Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden and his formal education is in Biomedicine with a specialisation in molecular neurobiology. However, his life has evolved around drawing, painting and crafting since very young. In December 2008 he quit his PhD position at the Max Planck Insitute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin to become a freelance illustrator and paper artist for a variety of clients. His style is extremely precise and realistic so that you sometime believe you’re watching a photography before realizing it is paper. Ollanski is represented by Cosmopola in Germany and ArtAssociates in the Netherlands.
You might remember the mobile app we supported 2 years ago and still use it to create an endless archive of our lives by recording a second a day. Here is a guys (actually brothers) that went further and without the help of any app. Meet The Brothers McLeod and their award-winning animation "365". Greg animated one second of animation every day for the 365 days of the year 2013. There was no storyline, script or storyboard. The ideas come from things read, seen or experienced on the day, with a little artistic license for good measure. http://vimeo.com/83155234
Young painter Oriol Angrill (Facebook) had been featured once in our DCN Top 2012, and it is a time to revise his portfolio to find much more beautiful watercolours artworks he has created lately.
"These are 3-D printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. The placement of the appendages is determined by the same method nature uses in pinecones and sunflowers. The rotation speed is synchronised to the strobe so that one flash occurs every time the sculpture turns 137.5º—the golden angle. If you count the number of spirals on any of these sculptures you will find that they are always Fibonacci numbers" says John Edmark about the body of his work

Somerset House, one of London’s major cultural institutions, is now home to the brand new café and bar Pennethorne’s designed by SHH Architects. Situated on the west face of the neoclassical building, looking out onto Lancaster Place and Waterloo Bridge, the new day-to-night venue has been named after Sir James Pennethorne — the highly-reputed architect of the 19th century who was responsible for Somerset House’s 'New Wing' (which now houses the café/bar) as well as other landmarks in London

By Sarah Maloy at Shutterstock: "Every December, Pantone announces its upcoming Color of the Year, and every year most designers can’t wait to start searching for images and creating lightboxes inspired by the new hue.This year’s color, Marsala, is a dusky burgundy that draws its name and its shade from the Marsala wines of Italy. Its deep, reddish tones are perfect for the cranberries, crackling fires, and cuddly sweaters of the upcoming winter season, and they’ll guide us all the way to autumn 2015, when leaves the color of Marsala begin to fall.
A native Oregonian, Eva currently resides in LA. Her love of cooking can be credited to being raised in her parents' Greek deli which they owned and operated for over thirty years. There she learned that food can ignite excitement in even the most reserved individuals. When she is not developing recipes or shooting and styling in the field, she enjoys tending to her garden, curling up with a good book, and traveling. View her portfolio on www.evakosmasflores.com

"Costa Dvorezky paints human figures with broad, luxurious brushstrokes that leave traces of dripping paint throughout his work. Though characters are at the center, Dvorezky prioritizes his expressionistic painting style over creating a narrative. Backgrounds melt away into abstract markings that transport his men and women into an imaginary space where they appear to defy gravity. Their bodies float, swing, and tumble with the levity and grace of trained acrobats and dancers." via Hi-Fructose
