Munich based tattoo shop Chaos Crew created a poster identifying newsworthy events from 2011. What makes this poster so special? It’s calfskin, and the art wasn’t screen printed or painted, but tattooed on!
It’s a great concept—though it does make me cringe a little. I have a decent number of tattoos and yet, there’s still something kinda eerie about this.

Am thoroughly enjoying these beautifully soft biology diagrams by graphic designer, Maria Grønlund. Apparently they’re just experiments she did in Illustrator, but I’ve not seen quite such subtly in color, shading, and gradients in vector illustrations. The simplicity and cleanliness of the designs are delightful!

Seeing this gorgeous work by Italian illustrator and designer, Andrea Manzati makes me want to get out some clay and actually make something. Andrea built these letter forms by crafting plasticine clay into anatomical parts on top of a design as you can see above. The end effect is a fun and slightly whimsical take on human anatomy and typography.
Created for Italian magazine, IL (Intelligence in Lifestyle), Andrea says, “The article was all about the meaning of life nowadays so we had the idea of making a “living” lettering, with muscles, skeleton, veins and an heart, that looks similar to the plastic mannequins used to learn anatomy at schools.”

Wonderful piece by illustrator and graphic designer Brandt Botes who owns his own boutique design shop in Cape Town, South Africa, called Studio Botes. If you’re a Threadless fan, you may remember Brandt’s popular shirt and print, Stick Figures in Peril.
Love the way he combines anatomy and design. Take a look through more of Brandt’s delightful work at studiobotes.com.
Swedish illustrator Kari Modén combines rich colours and simple shapes to create bold and expressive designs. Her inspirations include pop art and South American poster design, giving her an expressive style which has landed her big name clients worldwide. You can find Kari’s work in books, on clothing, in advertisements, on websites, and pretty much anywhere you look.
These two pieces were designed for a Swedish pharmacy, and are actually used as the wallpaper (among other uses) in the pharmacy.
