Gianluca Fallone Dreams in Neon

At the young age of 23, designer/illustrator Gianluca Fallone has been busily filling his portfolio with an incredible body of work, and has successfully landed commissions with big names like Nike, MTV, Daft Punk, and the Cartoon Network. He originally hails from Argentina but currently resides in London, and has primarily been inspired by Japanese cartoons and animation - no wonder everyone from all four corners of the earth are clamouring for his awesome electric designs.

Jeff Nishinaka's Papercraft Art

L.A.'s Jeff Nishinaka redefines the very idea of paper with his obsessively white bas relief sculptures. His images pop out at you in 3-D as if they were cast in plaster or carved out of stone. The whiteness of these pieces really emphasize the contrast between light and shadow, to appeal to his audience. 


Nishinaka's works have been featured everywhere, from hotel gardens, private commissions, medical illustrations, fashion, fine art and even advertising for companies like Coca Cola, Visa, American Airlines, Toyota, Playboy, and Mattel. His art has also been used for catalogues for Les Galleries Lafayette in France, and Bloomingdales in the U.S.  Funnily enough, the biggest collector of his work worldwide, is his actor friend - Jackie Chan.

Stina Persson's World of Watercolour

Stumbling through the internet today I came across some really beautiful watercolour and mixed-media images by Stina Persson. Using a combination of collage and stencil, she's created some really gorgeous illustrations. I would love to learn some of her techniques - they add so much drama and romanticism to everyday things. 

Check out her portfolio for more inspiring images.
