Great colour and atmosphere in these shots. I can't help but think of 80's action films for some reason. Check Rizaldy's site.

A couple of nice illustrations here by Goni Montes, a little abstract, a little surreal, beautifully executed. Check out more of his work here.

A couple of shots here I took of the Gordon River Dam in Tasmania. This is at the end of a long road deep in the Tasmanian wilderness. It was quite bizarre and even a little eerie to see this monstrous piece of infrastructure in such a wild and relatively untouched environment. I have the whole series on my behance profile here.

I feel like just about every Darth Vader illustration possible has been executed. Well at least I did before I found this fresh approach by Kenneth Rocafort using pencil ink and whiteout. The illustration was for the 30th anniversary of the Empire Strikes Back. Typically Vader is depicted through very polished and sometimes over-produced means, it's nice to see a more raw depiction.

This is a piece I've been working on for the last six months or so. It is an abstract representation of my recent experiences abroad in Germany, but I prefer the viewer to interpret it in their own way. I also see this as a possible start of a new series that explores the contrast between symbols of power and symbols of anti-power. Hopefully more to come.

I came across these shots by Madalin Gageanu and thought they captured a great mood, almost reminding me of nature documentaries I watched as a child. What really polished these shots off for me was Madalin's commentary, which really set the scene: While traveling on the tube and reading a newspaper, I stumble upon an article about Richmond Park, where, apparently, there are supposed

I cam across this series by Kevin Cyr a couple of years ago but then came across it again after looking through an old magazine (not that old) recently. I'd forgotten how much I love these paintings. There is something very honest about them. The detail provides a story, a history. It gives them a unique personality. The vehicles themselves are reminiscent of a past time and exude a

When I first saw this photo I was convinced it was a piece of digital art. As a piece of digital art I would have loved it, the hues, foreground/background contrast, subtle details in the power lines and silhouettes of trees poking through the fog, as a photo I love it more. Great atmosphere. See more of Lars's work here and website here.

These are just a couple of recent tee designs of mine. As a bit of a gamer a love incorporating gaming elements into design, and especially the nostalgia of old school gaming. Thems were the days!

I thought it was about time that I posted some of my own work. This is something I'm going to try and do more often, but I've been thinking that since the beginning. This time for reals! These HDR shots were taken on a recent trip to Europe. The top shot is a sneaky little alleyway in Glasgow – after some great Indian curry, the middle shot I took in Lyon, France after to some

Danton Diphthong: Episode 1 from alex varanese on Vimeo. Another great gift to the world from Alex Varanese. When I saw he'd put together a 20 minute animation I was very interested. So far I've seen amazing work from him in illustration, typography, short 2D animations, (heard) music and 3D modelling. How effectively could he tie all of these elements together plus do his own voice acting and

This piece by Atelier Olschinsky is a part of a series titled Plants that was recently featured on behance – and deservingly so. The series features several complex illustrations using isometric perspective. Each of them have a strong industrial appearance with some elements being used repetitively as a motif. Their industrial, and sometimes mechanical appearance gives the series a very

While I was recently in Paris I spotted a painting by French artist Francoise Nielly. I was walking across the road from a gallery that was closed with the inside lights off, yet the expressive bold colour and texture was enough to catch my attention and fascinate me. There is something very fresh and energetic about her work. The unique colour palettes have been carefully chosen and when

I love this shot by Alexander Kadow. The textures in the concrete wall and the unusual, abstract markings/art give this photo a surreal feel. I feel like there is more to this photo than what you see. I think black and white was a great choice in execution. Check out more of Alexander's work now.

My admiration of bridge photography continues. This time a piece by Laura Keung caught my attention. The dark shadows, warm hues and red lights drew me in. This piece is part of an icy set on Laura's behance page, check it.

This piece by Yonaz Kristy struck me as something from a dream or a fairy tale. It's a little sombre but also feels quite warm and comforting. I really like his use of watercolour as a texture and the heavy line work. See some more examples of his work here and her blog here.

I found this piece by Pomesone on Behance. I really like it because it reminds me a lot of work by Nawer, which I love, actually utilises a 3rd dimension as well as artificial 3D graphics on a 2D surface. On his profile Pomesone explains "I often try to open the frame of the object to go into space". I hope to be getting back into my garage soon to play around with my paints on similar styled

After living in Hamburg, Germany for 5 months, travelling around Western Europe and the UK I am now finally back in Australia. I was hoping to keep my blog up to date while I was away but it just didn't work out. I hope to play a bit of catch up now and sincerely apologise for the long delay!

I usually try to avoid posting overly-popular work from behance on here. I usually try to post work I find that I think other people may have over looked. This piece by Man Tsun is an exception though. I love it. Colour, form, composition – all great. And it tells a story. I Love it. See more of Man-Tsun's outstanding work here and website here.

Thomas Kuriatko has posted a series of epic illustrations on his behance profile which I would file in the "I wish I had those sorts of skills" category. The piece above was my personal favourite. Although each illustration within the piece is awesome in its own right I'm glad that he's used them as a montage/narrative piece – as with most montages it gives the illustrations much more context

I've just come back from a weekend in Berlin. I pretty much needed monday to recover and get me back on track. Berlin is a crazy town that seems to speed up (not slow down) as late night becomes early morning. The day I took this shot was a sight seeing day, I was in a semi-state of delirium after not much sleep from the night before. We saw some historical delights before making our way to the

I find the urban landscape quite fascinating and great to photograph. It's sometimes difficult to reproduce via photography and I find I can be quite fussy to find the ideal shot. Something I'm missing while I'm living in Germany is my tripod, which would allow me to take shots at night (I haven't given up on the idea though...). I think the city has much more depth at night. As the sun goes

Here's a few more shots from my Hamburg exploration. one of things I'm enjoying most over here is just exploring. The urban landscape has so much depth. It's full of life in the darkest places. The city feels a lot more accepting of street art. Now that I'm finally settling into a routine I'm going to start regular explorations starting in my neighbourhood, and radiating out. Spring is well

Here are a few snaps I've taken during my current stay in Hamburg. These were all taken on the same day during a walk from the Schanze to the city. It was a quick walk so I hope to go back again and take loads more pics.

A week or so ago I saw these sweet pieces of vector art on Elina's Behance profile. Her use of line work and white space is really nice, and she makes great use of colour too. Her website reveals even more work that is worth a look.

So here I am, finally settled in Hamburg. Apologies for the lack of posts, I've had many distractions – but have felt my blog calling. This is my first time in Europe, and it has already been an amazing experience. The sense of design here is quite unique, it feels more direct, more efficient. Graphic design that I have observed here is more refined. There seems to be a stronger appreciation for

Nikolai Nowolodski has made a creepy-looking skull from lots of words. I think that's really cool. The execution is nice and creepy and he's made good use of some texture. BAM: I've just realised that there is actually a narrative running through the words/entire piece. This adds even more depth to the piece. Top job Nikolai! Nikolai's behance profile is here, check it out.

M•A•C Wonder Woman from John Earle on Vimeo. I had a good long browse on behance this morning. It was one of those rare occasions where I flicked over a hundred pages and nothing really caught my eye, except for this absolute gem. A glimmering oasis in an otherwise slow day on behance (no offense to all those artists that have posted work, I am overtly fussy and particular). Anyway John Earle has

Well after a few intense weeks of work I thought it was about time to jump back onto the blog. I'm anticipating a couple of upcoming slow blog weeks as I move from Australia to Germany and settle in. Hopefully I'll have lots more time once settled there and can even post some more of my own art work – which was half of the point of this blog and something I really haven't done enough of!

I found this image by Marco Misheff to be quite haunting and a little surreal – not sure why, although the texture and lighting help to create a unique atmosphere. It almost feels like an apocalyptic setting, or even post apocalyptic given the overall darkness with the exception of the vibrant red streaks glowing from the darkness. Dull shapes sometimes becoming silhouettes of the crane and

I thought I'd post this piece by Materas Pierre because I love the style of drawing the style of narrative and the content. Each frame itself is potentially it's own art piece, but together they assemble to create an interesting context. Mayeras is an excellent artist and knows his media well (much like Joe Dion in my last post). There's not much else to be said here, except kick-ass piece of

I grabbed this image from a series of epic zombie illustrations by Joe Dion. To me this one was among the strongest. The bold colour, heavy contrast combined with the concept of a sexy zombie meant I had to post! In a world where pop culture seems to be flooded with zombie references it's nice to come across some quality occasionally (along with The Walking Dead, Dead Nation on PS3, whispers of

Rise from Alvaro Posadas on Vimeo. I found this amazing piece of surreal video art by Alvaro Posadas. I think what makes this work so much is the contrast between the beach – which is typically a warm, relaxing, comforting and nostalgic place – and the abstract light patterns – which are a little aggressive, unnatural, uncomfortable and foreign. Together they create a unique environment and

An awesome, haunting piece here by Ruben Ireland – a little dark, a little twisted and a little magical. Ruben has great style which is consistant across all of his work – which he has for sale! Check out his behance profile here and website here.

When I first this set on Greg Hayne's behance profile I was very impressed, the ever-present 12 year old in me went berserk. My first impression was that this was a digital 3D model, however after closer inspection I believe this is infact an actual model constructed and photographed by Greg! Again with the berserk! By referring to my inner 12 year old I do not want to imply that this is in

An awesome abstract piece by Edric Ureel. Part of a series of equally awesome abstract pieces that use 2 dimensional objects to create sense of depth. His sense of composition use of blending is excellent and gives the piece a nice feel. He has essentially taken simple polygonal objects and layered/blended them to create complex shapes and patterns. Edric's use of colour in highlights and

Visit Adam Chrobak's behance folio and you will find an amazing selection of illustrations that depict a slightly darker and more aggressive world than what we're used to. His work is strikingly original and overtly raw. I think rawness is the essence of his work, in both form and content. These 2 are for me, stand out pieces but most of his work is ahead of the majority of the pretty, overly

A couple of beautiful pics here by Kathleen Hirai. These are digital photos of cardboard cutouts, but look like something from a fairy tale, dream or memory. The colour range and soft tones giving the piece its dreamy feel. I'd love to see some more images in the same style and I think a moving piece would work well too – although technically it could be tricky. Nice work Kathleen! Check out

I stumbled across Jascha Hoste's stock exchange profile the other day and was completely blown away! His work features some of the most amazing urban ruins/old forgotten buildings/unusual eastern euro factories you will find on the net. And it's all (if not mostly) in delicious – not over the top – HDR. I was fortunate enough to explore an abandoned mental asylum about a year ago. It's an

Alexander Mikhaylov has put together a series of impressive concept drawings on behance. This one in particular caught my attention as a possible salute to Star Wars and due to it's overall dark robotic goodness. The whole series is worth checking out, especially the pieces that have subtle animation. Check the series here and Alexander's website here (loads of great content).

I found this epic shot by Dustin Sohn on behance this morning and instantly thought I've got to share it with the world (or some of the world at least). The atmosphere and mood in this shot is fantastic, I can almost see Batman, or some winged beast lurking in the shadows toward the top. The fog gives it a really eerie feel, the colours almost give a hint of some kind of demonic manifestation

I found this cool illustration by Jose Manuel Rios on Behance today. I can't quite tell if it's been painted or created digitally and imposed onto a background. Either way it's a very easy to look at piece with nice use of colour and an intriguing expression. I think something should be said about the hair too, I find myself struggling with hair, whether I'm drawing it, extracting it, vectoring

Felix Blommestijn has setup a blog where he's adding a new uniquely illustrated playing card every week. The results so far are really dark and really impressive. Most alternate takes on playing cards seem to stick within a certain set of guidelines, and Felix has also to a certain extent but has also pushed the boundaries by reinterpreting/redefining the individual cards.

I spotted these by Neto Zamora on behance today, I had to post them – more than anything else for the fun factor. As I think I've mentioned before I'm a big sucker for zombies (probably not big enough to be caught wearing these though). Love your work Neto. Check out the full set of shots here and Neto's website here.

French artist/designer Dorian Gourg as put together some incredible illustrations. The use of geometric shapes with patterns gives these pieces a loof/feel that I've never seen before. The centre piece feels synthetic and devoid of life but is layered over landscape photography – giving some of the pieces a sublime feel. The complete absence of colour here works really well, emphasising the cold

Graffiti Technica reel from Graffiti Technica on Vimeo. I thought I'd share another fine example of where the 3D world meets the graffiti world. This showreel piece by Brad Schwede takes the idea of converting graffiti into 3D a step further than what I've already seen by adding some motion. While I'd be surprised if no one else has done this already I also find it surprising that I'm not seeing

A few super-creep and mysterious shots by Hanka Sedlacek. Regular visitors of this blog will know that I love photography featuring heavy fog (possibly ever since watching the movie "The Mist"). I think this is yet another fine example of fog used in photography to create mystery and intrigue. The landscape is great too, the strong and angular sense of perspective from the power lines and

I found these awesome pics by Alexander Rentsch on behance today. He's perfectly captured the cold sterile atmosphere of this environment. The lifelessness puts it into the context of some dystopian government institution or some such – it could even be a bunker to take refuge in during a zombie holocaust. Either way it's a great example of minimal architectural photography. Check out more of

Some more awesome digital/3D work from Fernando Ocampo. Some time ago I posted a short animation by Fernando – I have seen many times since and still love it. I thought it would be worth checking his folio again more recently – it was worth it. I've seen a few examples of graffiti styled art making its way into the digital 3D world but I think this is the best I've seen so far. The colour,

It's great to finally be back posting again. It's been a couple of weeks since the my last post which has been way too long. At some point since my last post I came across this incredible piece of animation by Stuart Sinclair. According to Stuart this animation "[is] done using "Trapcode 3d stroke" a "mirror" and "Trapcode sound keys" to react to the audio. The camera movement is keyframed.

I've seen some of Tata Vislevskaya's work before on behance, some amazing urban captures (which I thought I'd posted but haven't – will have to do something about that). Today I spotted these shots which are part of a larger series titled Kleine Scheidegg. From what I can tell these are shots where taken in Switzerland, and confirm my continuing fascination with mountains and the sublime. The

Andreas Leonidou has posted an interesting series exploring the concept of death. Throughout the series there is a feeling of narrative as the skull becomes more abstracted, possibly symbolising different takes on death. As a fan of skulls in art I was instantly drawn in, but seeing the development throughout the series I found more depth and intrigue. I think Andreas has done a great job at

After another crazy-busy week I've unfortunately only been able to post today. I'm looking forward to posting more frequently in the near future. Thanks to everyone who's been dropping by anyway. I'm really starting to realise that I've got to get over to Iceland at some point in the near future. I think over the past month or so I've already posted some amazing pics taken of Icelandic

Dmitry Popov has posted an awesome series of manga styled concept art on his Behance profile. The series has been very well received and has recently been listed on the "featured" page (deservedly). I tend to go through phases with manga art. Sometimes I love it and sometimes not so much. I've always preferred the more gritty stuff, and this is a great example. I think the style is very suited

I had to post this pic by Laura A. P., the mystery and intrigue were too much! I think it's quite daring to pull off work like this, so much of the image is black, so much is hidden.

I came across these pieces by Isaac Bidwell on behance. He's got a lot of work on his behance profile but these pieces I liked the most. They are part of a series which I recommend checking out. I think what I really like like about Isaac's style is that he is able to produce by hand what many artists fail to achieve using computers. His artwork is distinctly comic book styled but from what I

She mentions that all the shots were taken from the same location, a place (translated into English) is "Where the north wind is born". It's amazing how these shots feel bitterly cold and quite warm simultaneously.

I've been mega busy lately – hence the absence of posts. I thought I'd make some time this morning before too much more time slips away. I spotted this piece by Roberto Gamito on behance. I think it sits nicely between texture and illustration, with its mix of abstract shapes and recognisable imagery. I think this piece would look great printed on a massive canvas. Nice work Roberto!

I came across these shots by Martin Johansson on Behance yesterday and was instantly drawn in by them. I instantly got a creepy fairytale vibe from some of the shots, while others ignited feelings of nostalgia. As a series these shots (not all shown here) felt like fragments taken from a dream or distant memory. Their visual appearance, Martin's photographic style – which seems to make use

Nook's SOS Sakura was part of an exhibtion titled "Send Help", where artists were asked to interpret the phrase "send help".

Lois Van Baarle demonstrates her beautiful illustration style in this series I came across on behance this morning. A quick trip to her website provides many more pieces of inspiration. In her bio she states that she's been drawing "since the day I could hold a pencil" but only within the last few years has she made the switch to digital art. I really like the sense of depth and the richness in

Jon Maximilian Våga Sandbu has some outstanding photography in his portfolio. A lot of his work features portraits with a strong and sometimes subtle use of colour. I find his choice of subject matter here, an overly feminine model with plenty of body modifications quite intriguing. The mood throughout this series feels both warm and cold. The colour, pink, gives the series a warm, innocent feel

I don't really know what you'd call these pieces by Andriano 5nak, they look like some sort of grotesque form of graffiti art. The skin tone colours used imply some sort of organic significance and actually remind me a little of the creepy pale man from Pans Labyrinth. I think Andriano has done an amazing job at creating something unique in an art world that is becoming suffocated with

I posted on an awesome series of bridge shots by Jochen Pach a few days ago and today found these amazing shots also taken by him. I was initially fooled into thinking they weren't even photos. He has managed to capture the beauty of the urban world in a unique way. See the the whole series here and his website here. I look forward to seeing more work from Jochen!

I really like this piece by Cristian Blanxer, which is part of a series that features female subjects in various poses, some being erotic, while others like this one are more subtle. Most of the pieces in this series verge slightly into abstract and surreal art with Cristian's great use of abstract colour and texture, which gives them an almost dreamy feel. I really like the detail in this piece

Jovan Milovic has posted a series of truly epic tech/sc-fi illustrations. The detail and sense of energy is outstanding. I really like how the forms are quite abstract yet hint at familiar urban forms such as buildings, cities or trains. I can't help but think of my recent trip to Tokyo when looking at Jovan's work here. On his behance page Jovan states that he draws some of his inspiration

I thought I'd post this epic shot by Jacob Bours because it's very relevant to where I'm living right now. In fact I'm wearing more layers than the average human being would be wearing on the earth right now, I have the heater on, hood on, cat nearby, and snow topped mountain in view from my window. If you can't quite get the vibe I'm trying to express take a long hard look at the image above,

My love of bridges continues with this incredible set by Jonchen Pach of Germany, titled Autobahn. The autobahn was constructed in Germany to unify the country, create employment and help to improve economy. It has been been used in a propaganda as a symbol of strength and solidarity, and today is the second largest freeway system in the world. Jochen's capture of the heavy geometric shapes

Ozan Turkkan has put together an amazing series of generative algorithmic/fractal computer art (sorry if I got that wrong). I don't know much about this fringe computer art, but I think the results are amazing. Check out the whole series on Ozan's behance page and website (it's an awesome website).

I found these beautiful shots which are part of a series on Faby Martin's behance page this morning. These two were my favourites from the series. The colour, depth and light are just outstanding. As usual I was attracted to the silhouettes contrasting against a vivid background, and I love the way the light reflects off the dust revealing the sign silhouette in the the second shot. Stunning

A couple of awesome pieces here by Jesse Braun. There are some awesome abstract 3D renders emerging in the digital art world. I always think of Autechre when I see this style of art, probably because a couple of Autechre's album covers have similar styled artwork. I always interpret this style of art as a sort of fusion between nightmares and future worlds. In this piece there's a great

Daryl Feril made great use of colour and layering in this energetic piece. The vector work itself is great here, borderlining on a little abstract and with a great sensation of action and energy. The colours beneath the vector work give the impression of an underlying meaning (perhaps looking into her soul?) and gives the piece great depth. Daryl has done an amazing job with such a limited

I found these shots by Agelkos Photography on behance this morning. The bridge shot initially caught my attention. I always like it when photographers capture industrial infrastructure as a silhouette. The dark shapes against a light sky often emphasise the intricate detail in the various shapes, frame works, fences etc. I really like how in this image the bridge appears partly as a silhouette

David Merrique has put together this awesome illustration that looks like it could be the final shot in a creepy sci-fi film. When I first looked at this piece I was aware of the overwhelming sensational of complete hopelessness. It reminded me of scenes in sci-fi films where astronauts are flung into space with no control due to some disastrous mishap, which puts them on an unstoppable

I thought I'd post this piece by Carlos Patiño because of its awesome ferociousness and amazing detail. I really think the black eyes were a nice touch too. This is a deliciously dark piece of art, Nice one Carlos!

I spotted this beautiful piece by Kasiq Jungwoo on behance today. His use of pattern and texture with line drawing help to make this a really unique piece. Kasiq has tagged the piece with the words "mother" and "murder", which could help to explain the look of sorrow on the girl's face. Even though they're kept to a minimum I really like Kasiq's use and choice of colour. If it wasn't for the

I found this piece by Gary McAllister on behance this morning. I just thought it was a great capture from a great film. The shot this piece was taken from is one of many classic Dark Knight moments. Gary's done a great job at recreating this shot, the colour, depth of field and detail all look great. It makes me want to watch the movie again. I think this would look great as a large scale print

This piece by YLF Design reminded me of something from a Lovecraft story or a nightmare. It's an interesting mix of dark, threatening shapes and bright colours. typically the colours used here would infer warm and happy emotions, but in the context this piece they feel a lot more threatening – perhaps in a similar way that toxic organisms warn of their danger through brightly coloured shapes and

I spotted this awesome stationery by Moshik Nadav today after I went looking for some inspiration for a stationery project I'm working on myself. I'm always impressed by artists/designers that manage to push the boundaries on common objects/themes/subject matter into something completely fresh and unique – there are so many existing stationery designs out there – possibly hundreds of thousands,

Continuing on with my current vector obsession I thought I'd post these winners by David Seguin. In a similar way to another post a week or so ago these feel like they are part of a greater story (possibly the same one). Whether they are or not, I think this element brings a lot of life to these pieces. The characters feel like they have a purpose, and look determined. What makes these pieces

I spotted this piece by Zan Von Zed on behance this morning. I'm sure I've seen her work somewhere else before. She has such a specific style, and specifically her girls have such a unique look. As an artist whose work is all over the place with no particular style, I always appreciate artists whose work all feel like they're part of the same family.

From what I can gather Hendrik Gericke is typically a non-digital artist. A visit to his website reveals all sorts of oil and ink goodies. It seems here though that he's merged his talents with the digital world, with amazing results! The contrast of photographic image juxtaposed with ink drawing creates a wonderfully surreal piece. What initially caught my attention was the wonderful sense of

A video artist on youtube by the name of TheFroschyankee has put this amazing video together for the Boards of Canada remix of Last Walk Around Mirror Lake.

Matt Millette has come up with one of those classic "I wish I'd thought of it first" projects. As a kid I was always amazed and in awe of fighter planes/pilots, and in particular those from World War 2. I think once fighter planes were able to carry long range air-to-air missiles the idea of "dog fighting" ceased to exist, as did the classic/romanticised image of "the fighter pilot" (no

Matthias Heiderich has put together a series of shots that explore colour in the urban landscape of Berlin. What I really like about this series is the simplicity of the work and the sense of nostalgia it induces. Most of the shots are quite minimal, with a strong focus on colour and composition. The simple solid colours exude a nice retro vibe, showing a few subtle signs of their age. Check

For those that don't know I am an avid video games fan. Sometimes I think this comes through in my art work. I thought this would slot nicely into friday afternoon (time of posting). So consider this some friday fun with smooth editing and some great tunes (mash up of pendulum and a track from requiem for a dream soundtrack). Youtube page here.

I've posted QNQ/AUJIK's project Family Crysis because I really just wanted to write about them as a whole. I couldn't find much else to post, other than these images.

This piece by Sunny Balliette, in my mind is the definition of awesomeness. It's a little dark, a little nostalgic, has some great layering and nice type work. The contrast between the back ground textures works really well – paint strokes and vector patterns. I think she's done well in composition too, the wolf's mouth sits really nicely underneath the logotype, with the "descenders" of the "

Guillaume Fournier has put together this amazing piece, which to me sits in a world constructed from architecture, video games, and 80s. The level of detail and complexity here is amazing, every time I look at this piece I notice something new. Guillaume's website demonstrates that he's a talented artist across many different mediums.

I came across these posters by James O'Briant on behance this morning. They are part of a series that I recommend you check out. Each poster exhibits its own unique direction but collectively they feel like they're part of the same family – due to James' great style. What I like about these posters is that they look great and James hasn't relied on lots of cliché photoshop effects to make them
