I admire the beauty and elegance of this print from Diftype store. It's rich in details and textures yet minimalistic. The artist is Niklas Lundberg, a graphic designer from Sweden. He is a very talented guy who excels in abstracts.
I find his way of balancing and deconstructing circles particularly interesting. I also enjoy his philosophical inspirations and his effort on giving form to abstract thought. Beautiful artwork, indeed!
For a full taste of his abilities have a look at his fine personal website.

Cubes
I've been playing around with minimal designs based on cubes for sometime now. The results weren't what I had expected and I was about to give up when I stumbled upon a great font created by Svetoslav Simov and redesigned by Victor Saygin. I used it to make my Cubismo design. The letters spell "cubismo" but the outcome is almost abstract geometric art.
I believe it's great, whether in white background or in black and, by concentrating on the forms, I also came up with a rather good stationery! You can find Cubismo on a variety of products in my Surreality store.

No sex please, we're squeamish!
The family-friendly profile of most print on demand businesses, means that extra caution is taken not to offend anyone. This could prove to be a very difficult thing to achieve, since some people may get offended by anything under the sun. To my surprise, it could also mean that designs such as the one above (which is an homage to Victor Vasarely, the famous Hungarian Op-Art artist) can be removed from Zazzle.
The design was made by András Miko, whose Porn or Art shop deals with erotic art in the most curious way: strange, unrealistic designs that avoid porn, yet they deal with some of it's symbols while trying to find the difference between art and pornography. The very mention of the word makes people so uptight that they may forget to check what the fuss is all about. In this case it was only about art, love and our own misconceptions. Zazzle decided to be on the safe side (probably because their experience with customers and the law gave them enough reasons to do so) , and you can't buy this Op-Art couple anymore.
András Miko was left with designs that were deemed OK. Elliptical, obscure or just playful.
At least this attempt at referencing Piet Mondrian -the most well-known artist of the De Stijl movement- was let free to roam his store:
