We absolutely love Austin, Texas based graphic designer Erin Hanson. Her work is inspired by simple “everyday random things” and some of her ideas are brilliantly showcased in this kinda minimal series called “1 Minute Photoshop Thoughts”. It´s clever, a little sarcastic and inspirational at the same time! Enjoy! I believe we all are prey to bouts of laziness. I am constantly in the throes and try to combat my ailment with a steady diet of inspiration and doing. Erin […]

Using symmetrical shapes, expressive and elegant silhouettes, and a muted neon pastel palette, he has brought to life his latest “Women’s Spring/Summer 2012” series via this photo series. Besides the cuteness, we love the way he captures femininity in a fresh, charming and funny vibe. A woman should never be seen eating or drinking, unless it be lobster salad and Champagne, […]

Nice portraits of zombified famous characters by Andre De Freitas, photographer and illustrator from Lima, Peru. Freitas studied in Full Sail University and got a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Animation. But oddly enough, the concept of stillness captured his imagination, and he focused more on illustration. Instead of just drawing, he tried to imagine himself taking photos of his subjects. That way the illusion of stillness would be a little more believable, almost like a photograph. After that, his insertion into the world of […]
