The World Best Designers: Czech Republic
Today we are starting brand new series: “The World Best Designers”. We will be presenting designers from around the world by country.
Let’s start with Czech Republic.
Best in show: Nico Di Mattia
- Name: Nico Di Mattia
- Year of birth: 1982
- Location: Cordoba, Argentina
- Field: Illustrator
- Website: nicodimattia.wordpress.com
Nico Di Mattia is one of my favorites illustrators.
His “digital speed paintings” are very famous on YouTube where Nico has a channel with thousands of subscribers (and more than 38 million of views).
He currently works as freelance so…if you need a great Art Director, illustrator or caricaturist he is probably the right person for you!
30 Fickle Flickers, Say What!?
Fickle Filckers?!?! Just like me, I’m sure a lot of you have no clue what a Fickle Flicker is, well neither does wikipedia. Basically, from what I can gather a Fickle Flicker is an origami bank note that displays the currency face and usually some type of hat or garment. They are very amusing to look at and very creative. Hopefully this will spark some creativeness on your end so you can pump out 12 websites tomorrow. Thats the kind of inspiration I bring to the table, remember that!
By the way, I just realized that these things are not called Fickle Flickers, thats just the name of the site they are displayed on. But the name sounds really cool and there is some beautiful content flow going on above, so, I’m going to leave it. Enjoy!
