Making a Splash

I was looking up some inspiration for a Photoshop project recently that involved creating a splash effect and found some of these splash-inspired design gems...enjoy!

Spray Can Art

Graffiti and street art is super dope - but why be tethered to working on the wall? These inspiring can designs probably don't boost your can control skills, but they look amazing anyway.

Going Back In Vogue

I grew up with my mom having lots of vintage Vogue cover prints all over the house and recently came across some more when I was searching for t-shirt design ideas...the lady in the moon is one of my all-time favorites. I would love to get my hands on a book full of them. 

Artoo, Making A Splash

The legendary R2D2 is making a big comeback in one-piece swimsuit form at Black Milk Clothing, an independent Australian clothing company that typically specializes in exotic leggings. Designed by Star Wars fanatic James Lillis, this awesome droid-suit is retailing at about $85, and is made from a Polyester/Lycra blend.

Even though it's not a licensed LucasFilm product, I don't think George would mind, especially if it's on the right model. Mark it down on your Xmas lists ladies!

Fafiness and Comic Books

Born and raised in Toulouse, France (where they make the best sausages!), world-famous artist Fafi has come a long way. Her street art spans the world, from Hong Kong to New York, Mexico to Amsterdam, and everywhere in between. She's designed collections for Adidas, Sony, LeSportSac, Coca-Cola, Colette and Mac Cosmetics. She's been covered by the most prestigious international magazines such as Vogue, Elle, The Face, XLR8R, and Yen, just to name a few. 

Aside from that, her works are also documented in books that are sold internationally, mainly in museum libraries and specialty shops that sell art books. GIRLS ROCK was published in 2003 and LOVE AND FAFINESS in 2006. Although her life is changing now (in 2007 she was married to DJ Medhi and is now a mother, living in Paris), she continues to proliferate her world with strong female figures, imaginative creatures and nostalgic French influences.

After completing yet another collaboration with Adidas in October 2009, she is expected to be releasing a comic book this year.  I can't wait!
