Bare bones t-shirt

NONVERBAL: BONES TEE by rorywilson

This t-shirt features a minimal, intriguing design that looks almost like a riddle. I love the contrast between the soft colored circle and the strength of the hip bone image.
The designer is Rory Wilson, and he came up with one of the best (and strangest) concepts I've seen in a quite some time!

Cards as an art form

Venus De Milo by oblique
Browse more Romance Postcards

I think of cards -postcards and greeting cards- as small, portable posters. It's a great format for an artist to showcase his work and for us to easily obtain, enjoy and offer it. The beautiful cards I found in Oblique validate my opinion. The Venus de Milo above (inspired from one of the most appraised works of ancient Greek sculpture) is an exquisite example of Oblique's art: minimal, monochromatic, modern with a classical twist, well-balanced. Seemingly simple lines that let the design breathe and shine.

These virtues are obvious in all the store's cards. The emblematic Courage shows one more of the fine and stylish things you can find there. See them, buy them and offer them to someone you care about. They're tiny (and affordable) works of art!

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.

The subtle delights of cloudswinging

This surreal concept is laid back and dreamy. I love the calm feeling and the sense of freedom it gives. It was a pleasure to create and I was lucky enough that it got noticed and awarded as one of September 16th's best among the thousands of products that see the light of day at Zazzle.

This silhouetted man that swings from the skies is quite minimal and graceful, if you ask me, and it works just as good on a t-shirt as on the parallelogram format of paper stuff. You can find it in the Cloudswinger section of Surreality -don't be shy, have a look!

And here's a little something to convince you that it's great even without the angles! Not bad for a design that started as an offshoot of something with a really different mood and approach.
