a little peek...

... at my studio space. So far anyway. Nothing much, but hey.







how to steal like an artist: a guide

Just a little something I found interesting while surfing through the net through yet another sleepless night.

my monster

Finally.

After tearing my hair out over numerous designs, here's a monster whose design I'm incredibly happy with.







He's going to star in my series of work for my studio project.

After giggling and being all giddy about that duck, I decided to loo up just who Florentijn Hofmann really is. Turns out the rubber duck isn't his only large scale artwork.

After flipping through his project page on his official website, I absolutely adore his work. Reminds me of Claes Oldenburg, except just more childish and fun.


It just encapsulates the innocence and joy I find in the innocence of childhood.

Looking at his stuff just makes me wanna' quit right now, throw the keys away and just be a kid again. Haha.

teehee



I like the duck. <3

(this billboard was located at Britomart Transport Centre, I hop off that place every morning to uni)


oh dear. oh DEAR.

From the previous post, I stumbled across a bloody delightful website called Vinyl Pulse, basically a hub for all things that's cartoony in all of its wonderful toy glory.


Oh dear, I've created a monster. I might bombard this blog with photos from Vinyl Pulse from now on.

That place is a throbbing hub of pure unadulterated INSPIRATION.

look at this delightful little fellow

While surfing round the net I found this delightful photo:

 I'm a HUGE sucker for anything weird and cute like that. Anything cartoon-like and such. Especially in tangible plushie form.

God, I feel like a kid that never grew up.

THIS little fella, I want to base my characters to have the same sort of goofy look.
