Semi by Francesco Zorzi
Posted by Amy on Monday January 2, 2012
Happy new year folks!
For the first post of the year, I’m thrilled to share these series of acrylic paintings done by Francesco Zorzi, who created them for use in his master thesis in product design. Called SEMI, which is an Italian word that carries the meaning of ‘seeds’, ‘half’, and ‘partial’, Francesco has successfully brought meaning to the concept by evoking a sense of incompleteness through a combination of elements within each piece.
For me, I personally love each one. He has strived to make his thesis book much like a magazine, and in turn, these illustrations are very editorial in design. You can see more over at his portfolio.
Pool Pony

I discovered the mid-century inspired art of Pool Pony while perusing the tables over at Poppytalk Handmade’s latest Mix Tape market. Their pieces have lovely colors, textures and form but the people behind Pool Pony didn’t put up much information about themselves, which is a shame really. I’d really love to hear more about the personality behind the art, and to see what inspired them to create them.

Love, love, LOVE the fabulously cheery retro-inspired drawings of Paul Bommer. He’s a freelance illustrator based in UK whose lines are lyrical as they are bold, and his hand-lettering is amazing as well! You can view most of his illustrations on his Flickr stream which is updated regularly, and he’s in the midst of opening an Etsy shop!

Beautiful illustrations by Violeta Lópiz — an illustrator currently based in Berlin who hails from Ibiza. His style is unmistakably retro and yet at the same time, infuses modern strokes to convey subject matters as complex as finance and business (he illustrates for The Economist as well) to simple, yet meaningful illustrations for children’s books. He’s indeed a gifted artist with the ability to render illustrations in various styles and character!
