Introduction:
There is no doubt to the fact that art and design have never failed to tempt the world of the artists and the designers, and have always been a matter of debate. It is a culture that the author tends to put forward the main conclusion at the end of the debate, but here, I would like to make a shift from the so called normal conventions that rules the world of writing.
I have heard and read a lot about the two, and this topic has provoked me to recall the lines I had read somewhere. “To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need.”
And art as “the desire of a man to express himself, to record the reactions of his personality to the world he lives in.” This forms the basis of my take on the topic.

Dribbble is a great community made by designers for designers (and the designers at Dribbble are innovative and creative).

I love that fact that you don’t need just to make nice things but you have also to “select” few pixels to show it.
In other words just the best.

This week we have The Netherlands as guest, with Eline van Dam, a.k.a. Zeloot, illustrator from The Hague.
Attempts at classifying her work has included language like Gaudy Colored Psychedelics; Hybrid Polychromatic Creatures and Amorphous Hallucinatory Monsters. But two words come to my mind when I am facing her work: Doodles and Psychedelics. Her drawings remembers me the magazines my aunt used to read in the 70′s, which clearly had the design remains of the 60′s.
