Devil in the Details: 25 great examples from Dribbble
Dribbble is a great community made by designers for designers (and the designers at Dribbble are innovative and creative).
You share a bit of your work (120,000 pixels or less) and you receive a lot of feedbacks. So you can improve your mockups very quickly (right now it works with an invitation system to maintain the level very high).
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.
Here you find 25 lovely examples…
Back to the 60’s with Zeloot, the illustrator
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.
JAW Cooper, about sketching a wicked world
This week we are featuring an illustrator from USA, Jaw Cooper.
I contacted her early this morning and she was very kind to introduce herself with a small bio, you are going to see at the end of the article.
What can I say about JAW?
She is undoubtly talented. There is something very close to anime in her artwork and a mix with the detailed nature drawings we used to see in dictionaries. I can read some influence from the Art Decó style. As well as a resemblence to Egon Schele sketches for the girls and some influences of the animals in the paintings of the Renaissance, like you see for example with the hares or rabbits.
The naive and surreal art of the brazilian illustrator Anna Anjos
This week, we have Brazil as a guest: the talented Anna Anjos.
Anna Anjos was born in march 1985, in São Paulo, capital.
The exquisite and hellish artwork of Peter Diamond
Peter Diamond is a Canadian illustrator living and working in Vienna, Austria. You can easily recognize the japanese art influences, some sort of punk art and even mythology. I discovered him and I felt in love with the devils on his blog. If you have seen some anime, like Fullmetal Alchemist, or if you are a fan of the terror movies, like Hellraiser, you are going to understand his sthetic. But there is something intelligent behind his drawings. He explains easily how he can get his inspiration through the observation of exhibitions in museums or investigating a topic. There is nothing about shallow inspiration in the work of Peter. You can read the intelligence in some artworks and this is exactly the case.
