Blockhead – The Music Scene

Blockhead is an American hip hop producer and DJ. The animation for the music video The Music Scene is incredible.

I really like the style of drawing and animation. It uses a lot of morphing and distortions of the characters. The animals changes appearance constantly. The colours are amazing too.

Kei Acedera

Kei Acedera is a concept artist. I was really inspired by her design of demon animals, and I based my creature on some of her artwork.

Of Monster and Men – Music Video

Of Monsters and Men is an Icelandic pop band. I was fascinated by their music video. Often they are made with a looping and soft animation that is really appeasing. I especially like the reveal of the gigantic sea monster in the music video for ‘Love Love’.

Shawn Coss

Shawn Coss is an artist from Ohio who is mostly known for his collaboration on the web comic Cyanide and Happiness. He is also the co-owner and artists fo the brand Any Means Clothing. For inktober, he worked on a series of drawing about mental illness. Since then he tries to open the dialogue about mental health and prevent these illnesses.

I feel somehow connected to the way he expresses mental problems. He shows the dark sides of any type of personality in a very crude way.

Shaun Tan

Shaun Tan was born in Australia in 1974. Since his childhood, he was a big fan of the Twilight Zone and Ray Bradbury. He studied at the University of Western Australia in Fine Arts, English Literature and History.

His book The Arrival won the New South Wales Premier’s Literary Award, the Children’s Book Council of Australia Award picture Book of the Year, and the Western Australian Premier’s Book Award.

He mixes techniques of graphite pencils and collage, and mostly works in black and white. His style is very specific, and his favourite themes are loss, alienation and childhood.

I’m going to let the images speak for themselves.

Anna Garforth

This british artist places letters in the environment and explore the possibility that words can offer in a specific place.

Reiselust, Berlin

I really liked the refection of the water for the word Reiselust.

Wild At Heart, Portugal

The typography for Wild at Art reminded me of a tattoo as if nature was getting a tattoo.

Grow, London

Grow with moss speaks for itself as the moss is going to grow. It’s a nice kind of street art, an ecological graffiti.
