“Jefta is a young 24-year passion for mixing photography, painting and digital arts.
His work is mainly based on the body that operates in different ways, including encrusting textures or image by dressing.”
Jefta’s photography borders on the surreal psychedelic and it all comes straight out of simple photographs of people. He has an interesting perspective. I’d watch his space for future photography work if I were you.
‘Tyrsa‘ is Alexis Taieb. He is based in Paris, France and the way he exhibits his talents on his latest website says as much about the creative lifestyle as it does about his project work.
The brilliantly named Fablog is the work of French artist and illustrator Fabien Mense. It encompasses his excellent illustration and concept work for comics and clients and it’s brimming with inspiration for those looking to dabble in illustration (like myself).
Paranoid finally puts the tilt-shift technique to good use or at least a commercial use for this amazing TV spot. Now why didn’t I think of that? Damn.

“The Alphabet 2- a horn book video experiment – is a developmental spelling – video where each character visually represents the meaning of the word itself. Playing with different techniques and materials into little and big spaces, but always focusing on Helvetica font’s proportions. A collection of words in a delightful spelling-video.”

I kind a just gave up searching the entire blog anymore for reposts since it’s been tough since I started the studio and had a kid just to keep up on the blog so forgive me if this is a repost (because it looks familiar) but the work of French studio My Name is Wendy caught my eye again today. They’ve got some tasty gallery work that really mashes up a lot of different influences from both the design and illustration world and they are good at creating in both realms.
If I may, please allow me to introduce you to ‘The Cat Man’ of Canne by way of Paul Trillo for Real Ideas Studio. I think you will find ‘The Cat Man’ to be a rather interesting and entertaining character as I did. But please note, his cats are not on drugs.
French graphic designer Pierre Vanni has recently updated with all kinds of strange new and very French projects. It’s minimal, brimming with personality and will definitely make you scratch your head in a good way. His portfolio reads more like a dive into the subconscious mind of a French designer than it does like a book of real project work.
Benoît Bodhuin has a flurry of interesting design work in his portfolio including some layout deconstructivist pieces that almost serve as abstract expressionistic graphic art.
‘Dope’ is a word I just don’t use much anymore. Probably because I am too old to use it or using it just makes me feel old or actually using it has fallen out of fashion and I am behind because I am old but I digress. ‘Sick’ is a word I just can’t get behind. It sounds lame. How did ‘sick’ ever become associated with something cool? I mean the word sick just sounds, well kind of gross or you know sick. Anyway, you can take your pick, ‘dope’ or if you have to go there ‘sick’ and either one will work perfectly to describe the shit hot t-shirts that French street boutique brand Be Street has put together. Straight up dope. There I said it. Now I’ll get on with my crusty old ass.
French graphic designer and illustrator Xavier Bourdil has updated his portfolio with some recent work for the KDU. He’s a whiz with Photoshop and the result is some subtle but attractive imagery.
French illustrator ISE Ratinan Thaicharoen has had work posted on this blog before but there has been some updates lately that show an ever-evolving talent to produce beautiful hand-rendered illustrations.
French 3D illustrator, photographer and animator Andreas Shabelnikov has updated with some beautiful and often apocalyptic new imagery. It’s an unusual body of work and looks like a powerful niche to be currently occupying.
French web, design and animation studio Hellohikimori has updated with another in your face website featuring jarring music and kick ass project work. They are loud, proud and unafraid to go all out when it comes to color. Their stance is attracting some big clients lately and it’s great to see them doing so well.
Illustrator Daniel Abensour hails from the south of France and mostly draws strange little creatures sometimes in a strange way and sometimes in a cute way. And he has also recently updated with more sometimes strange sometimes fun but always colorful creatures.
The infamous 123 Klan has posted a new show reel for 2011. They are still on top of their game and owning their style after what constitutes a very long time in this industry.
French designer Stéphane Massa-Bidal has an exceptionally fun Flickrfolio full of experimental-for-the-hell-of-it typography, graphic design and illustration projects. He’s cranking it out and it’s fun to pick through but one of my favorites has definitely got to be the Warhol Vader image. It’s a classic you wish you’d though of.
The Behance-folio of Landor Associates Creative Director Jason Little is a treasure trove of exceptional graphic design. There are some exemplary print projects within yield long inspiring scrolls that will have you ready to sit down and start kerning.
