Chris Piascik is a graphic designer who had the idea of making a new drawing every single day for 2000 days. The amazing result “accidentally” turned him into an illustrator, and he couldn’t be happier. His illustrations are bold, fun and witty in well-executed patterns and smooth gif animations. Piascik is also big on hand-lettering. A lot of his pieces are inspired by TV shows, political commentaries, and other news related events. His style has attracted great clientele like Nickelodeon, Converse, and Absolute Vodka. Today, Piascik continues to make daily illustrations. Check out a collection of Piascik drawings below and get inspired to work out those art-muscles!

Today is a 24hr clock designed by , an award winning artist and horologist. This clock uses a 24-hour movement mechanism, allowing it to move at half the speed of a regular clock and making one full rotation every day. The result gives you peace of mind.

This feeling was inspired by the wonder of watching clouds passing by at 30,000 ft. and the need to bring it back to the ground where we spend our lives. Today is calm, balanced, and it makes you feel like you have more time; no stress. Time is precious and it should bring more gratefulness than anxiety so lets live it instead of kill it.

Now if we could only find a way to slow down summer…

Artist Daniel Rozin has created numerous mechanical mirrors using trash, wood, pompoms, and more! This one, made with paired pink and blue troll dolls, definitely caught our attention. Every pair of dolls rotates and re-aligns to capture the silhouette of the person standing in front of it. Mechanical mirrors use video cameras, small motors, and computers on board to reproduce a “pixel” version of what’s reflected as the viewer interacts with them. This means that they need an audience to come to life: “The important part of this equation is the person, not the artifact.” Check out all of Daniel Rozin interactive art here

The month of March has really brought us so many new project opportunities. We’re happy to show off another first – LEARNING ON THE JOB a fully illustrated and designed book by your friendly group of designers. The book showcases different life careers and the inspiring lessons we can learn from them. Every job has its own personalize illustration mixing simple and intricate designs in a sketch-like style vector art. The combination of visual representations and text helps create an aesthetically pleasing book which intensifies the reader’s reaction and inspires the ideas the client is trying to get across. The final artwork features black, turquoise, and marigold tones; colours that make the pages bright, energetic rich, and fun to look at. Take a peek at some of the pages created for this wonderful project:

Maggie, a Nigerian dwarf goat at Oakland Zoo, recently had her hooves dipped in paint in the name of art and a good cause. The zoo will be auctioning off original abstract paintings done by their animals at their Animal Art Show in a clever effort to raise money for conservation partners. Last year, Oakland Zoo auctioned off twelve paintings and raised an impressive sum of nearly $10,000. All paintings sessions were directed by gentle zoo keepers using only positive reinforcement (treats!) and none of the animals were forced to participate. Thirty-two of the works will be auctioned on eBay starting today until September 20th.

The Pixel Painter from The Pixel Painter on Vimeo. 98-year-old Hal Lasko, better known as Grandpa, spent his career as a commercial graphic designer in a time when everything was done by hand. As Hal’s eyesight began to go, he thought his painting days were over. When Lasko’s grandchildren bought him a computer and introduced him to Microsoft Paint fifteen years ago, a new world of creative expression opened up to him. Ever since, Hal has been creating beautifully detailed pixel art. Now, Grandpa spends ten hours a day in his studio creating intricate digital paintings. To learn more about Hal or purchase his paintings, visit his website.
