Amazingly, Turkish artist/illustrator Kerem Beyit has no formal illustration training which after viewing his amazing work is almost impossible to believe. His work is gushing with talent, craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Guatemala City-based conceptual artist Stefan Benchoam emailed me today to share his work with me. I don’t usually stumble upon or see a lot of work like his and it really inspired me to look at things a little differently. Refreshing.

Photoshop Tutorials has put together a list of 54 mind blowing digital paintings. I am usually a little skeptical of phrases like ‘mind-blowing’ but this delivers all the way. Absolutely phenomenal work here. I had no idea just how far artists were pushing this medium. Absolutely beautiful work.

nel.jpg

NEL is a platform for experimentation formed by an evolving collective of Mexican designers. The collective, founded in 2004, serves as a channel to create and exhibit projects that focus on the conceptual and playful side of design. The organic nature of the collective allows for an ever changing pool of designers, which in turn generates a wide variety of projects that range from political statements to playful storytelling or aesthetic explorations.

The current members of NEL are Ricardo Casas (1979), Alejandro Castro (1983), Héctor Esrawe (1968), Emiliano Godoy (1974) and Cecilia León de la Barra (1975).”

Great conceptual work.

I think I posted something about Thomas Keeley on my last blog but his work is worth another post and then some. His work is all about the concept and it’s refreshing in that regard. There is virtually no information about him on his website other than his work, but his work is worth a browse if you are feeling short on ideas.

I was reminded of his work while browsing Joy Engine this afternoon.
