Raccoon Nook is an illustrator from New York whose graphic art doesn’t seem to fall into any single style. His drawings seem realistic at times but more 2D and cartoonish at times as well. What I notice right away is his use of shading on the more realistically rendered illustrations (and the lips. The open mouth seems to reoccur pretty often.) [ Continue Reading ]
My favourite of SiLver sKY’s photographs is the Mysterious Man photo in which Mirror Man appears to be walking overhead with a beam of light reflecting from his hand. He’s intimidating and awe-striking (yes, I can make up words if I want to, as long as I add a dash) all at once.

The colourful records contrasted with the 2D black and white bodies of the fish and snake draw attention not only to the 3D texture of the gills and snakeskin but to the detailed shading as well, especially in the head and tail of the snake.

You just can’t help but love cars. Sure they might be a factor in climate shift. Sure they might be materialized forms of social status and useless luxuries. But God fucking dammit! Do they look nice. Take a gander at Ferrari’s new curvaceous wonder. [ Continue Reading ]
