DAVID PALUMBO
KARLA POWELL: PASTEL
Great series of hair and make up (I'm not usually one to notice this sort of thing) by Karla Powell.
EVRE BASAK: INSIDER
A beautiful self portrait here by Evre Baska from Istanbul, that delves deep into imagination and fairy tales. More of work here.
ADRIAN KNOPIK
This awesome piece by Adrian Knopik is part of a series that recreates Raphael's The Three Graces. I love the use of colour and overall I think it's an amazing illustration. The whole series here.
PAULINE DARLEY: SHE WAITED TOO LONG
While I was living in Hamburg last year I'd go for daily walks where I'd explore the city and take photos (great fun). On one such outing I stumbled across a photoshoot with female models wearing make up similar to the photos above. It was in a quiet little street in a suburb near Altona. It was quite surprising and really made it a memorable walk – although up until seeing Pauline's photography above I'd somehow completely forgotten about it. I don't know why I didn't take a few sneaky snaps myself! Anyway, I spotted these awesome shots on behance today. I had to post them. Check out more of Pauline's photography here. The amazing make up was done by mademoisellemu.
JUAN SALVARREDY: RIFLE
This epic photo by Juan Salvarredy is part of a series of images/posters for an advertising campaign for Rifle Music, which is from what I can tell a commercial music production company. All that aside I dig this pic. See them all here.
ORLANDO AROCENA: APERITIF
A nice piece here by Orlando Arocena, one in a series of illustrations of what appears to be women licking blood from their fingers. Delicious! See them all here.
RUSLAN KHASANOV: PORTRAITS
Is it a photo? No. It's just one of the most amazing gradient mesh illustrations I've ever seen. This piece is part of a larger series titled portraits, check them. That is all.
DASE ROMAN SHERBAKOV
I came across these pieces on Behance and had to post them. Great style, use of colour and pretty amazing detail. Check out more here.
MAYA FIALA GRAU: MAKE THINGS HAPPEN
Some beautiful photography turned into some simple abstract digital art. Maya's desciption:
exquisitley surreal blending and mirroring of the female form.I love how the simple technique of "mirroring" has produced such amazing results, always best to keep it simple. Check out more of Maya's work here.
NEGRITOO: SKETCHBOOK PROJECT 2012
A nice piece of ink on paper here from Negritoo. It seems rare that I come across anything that is so back to basics these days. It's nice to see something that's a little raw, a great piece of tattoo are too! This was part of a series of similar sketches here.
FRANCOISE NIELLY
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 executed with her painting style are at their loudest.
I strongly recommend checking out Francoise's website, there is an enormous amount of inspiring work. It was a privilege to see just one of her pieces in person (despite being outside the gallery looking through a window) I hope to one day see an exhibition.
Website here, behance here.

MAN-TSUN: ILLUSTRATION 4
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.
ELINA VG: NO TITLE
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.
JOHN EARLE: M•A•C WONDER WOMAN
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 created an amazing advertisement that thought would be worth posting. I never thought I'd post an advertisement on here. Despite sort of working in the advertising industry it's something that I despise, possibly because 99.99% of all advertising is completely fucked up, ugly, annoying, distasteful and poorly executed. Here I present the 0.01%. The cream.
I have always liked the combination of 2D and 3D artwork, particularly in motion/video work. I have at times even experimented with it myself. I think it works perfectly here. I have watched it a couple of times through now and feel inspired! (although I'm not about to go out and buy some lipstick). This is one of those ideas that in hindsight seems so obvious, yet I had never thought of it myself, which I think is what sometimes defines a truly great idea.
John had this to say about the piece:
I'm really lucky to get to work with the nice people at MAC on occasion. They really allow a lot of creative flexibility, especially on this piece. My first proposal to them was to create a fully animated recreation of the artwork they had illustrated by Mike Allred. Something like an 80s saturday morning cartoon. Budgetary and legal constraints quickly ended that idea. Often is the case though, that constraints fuel new ideas. Knowing that I couldn't modify the artwork too much was where the final piece came from. I needed to add some extra style to the retro influenced illustrations and taking them into 2.5D just wasn't enough to carry the piece. The 3D comic elements became that extra bit of interest to propel the animation. I feel it also brings it into a more contemporary realm, something viewers of all ages can relate to. I'm currently finishing up some companion pieces which are all 3D that will act as video wall paper for their Times Square and Bleeker Street stores in NYC.

JOE DION: DEAD STUFF
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 28 months later + World War Z). Check out the whole series here and Joe's website here.
