‘Our Bloodstained Roof‘ is a beautiful comic by the very talented Ryan A. which you can read online on one long page. It really has been a while since I was so taken by both the story and the artwork of a comic book. Please do check his other story ‘Nothing Is Forgotten‘ as well.

The work of artist Martine Johanna is a intriguing blend of hair, forms and faces that wants to be a slight bit on the darker side of life including – as she says herself – an undertow of sexual tension. She’s a graduate of ArtEZ, the academy of the arts in Arnhem and is represented by illustration agency Shop Around. Truly beautiful work.

“20 Things I Learned about Browsers & the Web.” A nicely illustrated book for things you’ve always wanted to know about the web but were afraid to ask. Awesome work by Christoph Niemann.

This info-graphics determines the acceptability of relationships. Like, even if you’re not related by blood to someone, there are, about three levels of relations that should be considered when deciding who you can date: “personal,” “professional,” and “other.” Of course a lot of that “other” is going to be concerned with instances, like, say you’re at a kegger and you meet a Japanese foreign exchange student and you’re both really drunk. Obviously you wouldn’t need our advice to know that there’s practically a frat’s-worth of third base coaches waving you in. The following flowchart, then, is intended specifically for cases like your own, where the higher degrees of relation come into play and the other cases are more problematic. Made me chuckle on a Thursday morning.

Blanca Gómez, illustrator and designer living and working in Madrid grab my attention with his purified and voluntarily childish featured illustrations, exploiting the talent of colors with simplicity and freshness.

Sorry for the lack of updates as i have been travelling for the past few days. Got myself a neat little break to Bangkok and it was a really inspiring trip as i got to meet up with a few local promising artist that shape the art scene of bangkok.

It was a cooling evening as i begin my journey to one of the most visited night market, Suan Lam night market in Bangkok. The whole area was neatly constructed, with row and columns of shops that features art, clothing, furniture, interior decors and etc. No doubt it might seem like a place which retails stuff that is targeted at tourist, however, this little place actually house many talented artist with cutting edge work that may even be on par with a few famous international artist. As i was exploring and visiting individual unique shops, i was rooted to my shoes when i came across this litte shop know as the Heart Gallery.

Initiated by Peach Somchai, the Heart Gallery feature simple, innocent and child like art pieces that is unique and special. He focus mainly on doodle art, but his work displayed there took me on a journey of whats going on in his heart and mind. Simple yet sophisticated, the thought behind the shop seems more like an art gallery rather than a retail outlet.

After a few words with Somchai, the catalyst behind the shop is really about his passion for fine arts, paint and brushes. He was approached many times with request to have his works on t-shirts, furnitures and even wall murals. So instead of just putting his work into an art gallery, he just made his art gallery into a roving one as he hand paints every request and each of them are unique with no single duplication in design. He took me on a little tour through his shopped and took time to explain the ideology behind each of his work. Needless to say, good time passby quickly and it’s time for me to continue my exploration. A multi-talented artist and kind host that really made my Bangkok trip a fruitful one.

A pretty illustrated cartoon that shows the imaginary world of designer Ian Worrel. Fascinating and intriguing art direction.
