Type foundry P22 invited designers to design a card for a deck of 52 cards, the results are quite cool..

Nice use of colour and graphics by MWM.

Another super amazing website from Got Milk? The previous version Get the Glass was also pretty amazing. There is also another version in Spanish called "Toma Leche" that is also worth a look.

The campaigns are also pretty funny, 'White Gold' is ultra cool!

A powerful piece that features a message which is even more relevant today than it was 30 years ago....

"In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message."

Nice illustrations by Evgeny Kiselev

Mayo's beautiful illustrations

Slightly spooky and beautiful illustrations by Art & Ghosts

Journals are awesome! I've kept a design journal since uni, over the years I've filled out quite a few and I'm on to my 7th one. They are still an endless resource of inspiration and reminiscence. Tommy Kanes journals feature some wonderful illustrations.

Great blog for those interested in character design. It features some interesting interviews of exceptionally,creative illustrators and also showcases the character development process; from pencil sketch to final 3d renderring.

I caught the latest preview of the new Dreamworks movie 'Kung FU Panda' which looks awesome, when I went to see 'Horton hears a who' which was beautifully translated from the book by the amazing Dr Seuss.

I've always been fascinated by the beautiful artwork on Tarot cards, this blog/site features a vast array of tarot cards dating way back in time.

I have no idea how these were created, some sort of computational histograms...way beyond my brains capability. But my eyes think that they are beautiful.

I just came across these divine illustrations created for an interiors business called Harmonie- Interieure created by Fabien Barral. Even though the floral flourish is just abotu every where you look at the moment, these deserve some praise and attention. Here also are some of her pics on flickr.

And incase you are still interested in more...here is a link to Fabiens blog and Graphic Exchange website.

Stunning illustrations created by Sergey Tyukanov there is also a website with his work, mostly paintings however i think that i prefer his etchings most. Seems to be highly influenced by the Dutch artist Bosch and Bruegel in particular his Tower of Babel painting.

Another 'world' approach which seeems to be becoming quite popular as a format for websites lately. The detail Toyota website is really nice.

Barcelona based illustrator Charuca designs a whole range of characters similar in style to those cutesy characters created in china and japan. Really cute!

This years Archibald prize has been won by Sydney artist Del Kathryn Barton. The title of her painting is just as lovely as the painting "You are what is most beautiful about me", a self portrait with Kell and Arella.

Here is an exert from the AGNSW website that describes the thinking under the brush strokes ... "Del Kathryn Barton’s self-portrait depicts her with her son and daughter, Kell and Arella. “This painting celebrates the love I have for my two children and how my relationship with them has radically informed and indeed transformed my understanding of who I am,” she says. “The title of the work – you are what is most beautiful about me – alludes to that utterly profound ‘in-loveness’ that all mothers have for their children. Both my children have taken my world by storm and very little compares to the devotion I feel for them both. The intensity of this emotion is not something that I could have prepared myself for. The alchemy of life offered forth from my inhabitable woman's body is perhaps the greatest gift of my life.”

Nice site for wine label....The Spanish Quarter

Really cool video on youTube, check it out...

nice interactive interface and i also love the hand drawings and text for prps

...and some more inspiration from the russian constructivism era. Just enter russian in the keyword search and be prepared to immerse yourself in the strong graphical shapes of the early 1900's.

Really nice looking blog by Nick La featuring 30 top flash websites and 30 top artistic websites.

Love these illustrations by Richard Wilkinson

Catalina Estrada's illustrations have been used by various fashion designers including Anunciacao and Paul Smith. Take a look at her rich and ornate illustrations on her website and myspace.

Byroglyphics is the work of English illustrator Russ Mills.

I love these slightly creepy series of postcards titled "Uptight all night" by Jordan Crane.

Whilst eating my delicious smoked salmon wrap today, I came across the work of an extremely talented illustrator and comic book artist Tomer Hanuka.

The illustrations in which he depicts the night club/bar scenes are just amazing. The way in which he captures the dark side of night-life through the grotesque like faces and actions is truly admirable. The images have a cinematic quality about them. Tomer's blog is really insightful; as he explains his process and inspiration.

Alberto Ceriteño showcases his beautiful work on this site, don't forget to check 'Don't die ding' an animated short.

Some inspirational illustrations from Microbians

Beautiful illustrations and comic book art by Craig Phillips.

Beautiful drawings by Wil Freeborn

Wow! these paintings are awesome. Kez Atveres features a gorgeous collection of images that are painted on hands. Don't know much about who did them (perhaps Guido Daniele?) but I think that they were used for this TV Commercial.

Download your very own desktop calendar for 2007. I have 10 printed copies remaining, the first ten people to send me their mailing address (within Australia only ) will receive a free copy.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!

Check out the nice pins from Stereohype...

The beautiful work of Si Scott is a typographical masterpiece. Judging from the quicktime video featured on his site I think its all hand drawn! That kind of makes it more special in this computerised world that we live in, were the craft of hand drawing seems to be becoming a lost art.

Read interview.

Dream Anatomy traces the history of anotomical illustration since the invention of the printing press. The intricate nature of the illustrations is just beautiful. If you're not interested in reading you can click directly to the gallery.
