Here is a selection of images straight from the portfolio of the sought-after illustrator Steven Wilson. Because Steven’s impressive client list includes everyone from Coke to Nike, BBC and MTV, it is likely that you have already come across one of his beautiful works. Steven is inspired by circus imagery, tribal art and 70s rock posters among other things, and he can often be found sifting through flea market stalls looking for obscure books to use as reference. All of this ensures that his work stands out. There is no question that his pieces define and represent a new wave of illustrated art. He has a particular passion for working on albums covers.

| Photographer - Robert Jaso |

What do you do after becoming one of France's highest-paid male models? You become a fashion photographer, of course. Or that's what Robert Jaso did, anyways, and by looking at the fruits of his work, we think his change of career was a wise choice. The Slovakia-born Jaso who moved to France with his family at the age of five and fell into the fashion world by accident when he was spotted by a booker This started a successful 10-year stint in front of the cameras. A decade is a quite some time for a model, so when Jaso was looking for a change and something with more longevity, photography seemed like the next obvious step in his career. Having already had such an amazing first-hand look into how the fashion industry works, Jaso then spent several years working on and refining his own signature style that can now be seen in magazines around the world. Still based in Paris, but being sent to all corners of the globe to work on various campaigns and shoots, he currently spends most of his time working for Italian Vogue. With a passion for creating stories and a keen interest in all things technical and aesthetic, Jaso creates carefully constructed images that are strong and beautiful with a hint of quirkiness.

Gianluca Fallone is a designer/illustrator based in Argentina and at only 23 years old has managed to build up an impressive folio that includes working with clients like MTV, Nike and Cartoon Network. Fallone's stance is simple 'I love type and design, and particularly like when both are present' – which is evident in much of his work. Inspired by Japanese Animation and comic books, which were triggers for his 'illustration - design rollercoaster', his pieces are beautifully crafted and extremely detailed. Putting a mark on the Argentinean design world, we are expecting to see great things from this young and amazingly talented artist. By Brendan McKnight |
| On The Wall - Miami Murals |
| 2007-12-18 16:00:18 |
|
Primary Flight is graffiti art at its finest. The curated graffiti installation was created in four days in early December during Art Basel in the Wynwood Art District in Miami, Florida, by more than 25 graffiti artists from around the world. The riot of murals is a result of cooperation between the Spinello Gallery, creative agency Blackbooks, New York-based creative-project think tank Landsea Ventures and paint maker Sabotaz. According to the organizers, Primary Flight, curated by Books III, Anthony Spinello and Lynn Yohana Howard, showcases some of today's most respected graffiti artists. The organizers recognize that as graffiti has become “art,” it has often left the back alleys and bridge arches of the world. Primary Flight’s purpose is to bring the essence of graffiti back by making concrete outdoor wall space available to artists and giving them free reign over it. This way, graffiti art can be viewed on the streets, in its most appealing format and in its original environment. What is most fun about massive open-air projects like this is that the actual creation process is accessible to all. Photographer Jeremiah Garcia documented the Primary Flight creative process ensuring that the art and its birth are preserved long after the walls are painted over. By Tuija Seipell |
| Hannes Broecker - Drink Away The Art |
| 2007-11-20 14:18:23 |

Forget about wandering through an art gallery and wondering if you’re the only one who has no idea what anything means. Hannes Broecker has brilliantly invited the cultural elite to grab a glass at an exhibition in Dresden, Germany, and drink away the art. Regardless of what we do or do not understand about art, we can all agree, it stimulates our senses. Broecker has aroused our sense of taste (not to mention eliminated the need of elbowing our way to the bar) by hanging flat, glass containers with a variety of cocktails in the exhibition space. As the night progressed, the levels of the multi-coloured infusions diminished. By the end of the event, the art, itself, ran dry, and empty drinking glasses were returned to where they were originally placed.

| Bruno 9Li (Brazil) |
| 2007-09-26 18:52:59 |

Artist Bruno 9Li is an artist of extraordinary talent, who works and lives in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Bruno's work is inspired by alchemical imagery, his surrounding neighborhood and the Art Nouveau period and feature amazing ink on paper works which are remarkably unique. The work is incredibly vibrant even though only a handful of colors are used. Bruno's work seems to re-use the same colors in his latest range. This in no way limits the variety of the work itself, as each piece is wonderfully unique. Geometric form coupled with an illustrative foundation is the springboard for this work. In its large format scale, his works are illustrative and almost comic like in their colourful representation. By Andy G |
| Digital Origami |

The beauty of the art of Origami has always been the tradition of which its based on. The digital masters program at Sydney's University of Technology has appropriated the very tradition with it's digital origami. By asking students to study trends in parametric modeling, digital fabrication and material science, the team created an amazing display which reflects on the beauty and tradition of the Japanese art but delivers its aesthetics in a modern and current practice. The digital Origami exhibition is a progressive display of re inventing ancient traditions in digital parameters. Using 3500 recycled cardboard molecules, University of Technology design students, under the guidance of lecturer Chris Bosse, examined various aspects of architectural foundations through small elements of design. The result is a cool installation which examines space and the elements of design including arches, walls tunnels and traditional structures. The room full of Geometric paper shapes, placed on top of one another and adhered to ceilings and walls are brilliantly illuminated by expressive neon lighting which further emphasizes the angular structure of the work itself. Bosse cites the aim of the project as " testing the fitness of a particular module, copied from nature, to generate architectural space, with the assumption that the intelligence of the smallest unit dictates the intelligence of the overall system.

| Matt Bilfield's 'Peggy' |
| 2007-05-25 13:20:56 |

Originality is rare these days in the art world but we’re pleased to report that we’ve stumbled upon an artist whose work is both innovative and modern. Matt Bilfield, California based artist, won us over with this incredible three-dimensional piece “Peggy,” a brilliant and ambitious interpretation of a painting by famous artist Roy Lichtenstein. The mammoth work - it’s seven feet wide and three feet tall - is comprised of 2788 hand cut, sanded, and painted dowels that where then assembled together to recreate Lichtenstein’s image. The result is a cross between a graphic art image, sculpture, and installation which offers the viewer a different experience from every angle. By Billy T |
