For the Love of Africa

I spent a fair portion of my childhood in East Africa, and with that came proximity to expansive wildlife reserves. South African born Greek artist: Dimitra Tzanos's 'For the Love of Africa' graphic illustration series, evoke memories of safari trips sighting endless Wildebeasts, while hoping to catch a glimpse of a Lion.


Nostalgia aside; her use of negative space, colors, patterns and shapes are magnificent in their own right.

Layered Manipulation

These images by Swedish artist Johan Thörnqvist are one of the most interesting photo-manipulation series I have seen yet! Using a graphics tablet and Photoshop; he creates surreal, dream-like worlds by layering illustration over photograph. Although his cartoon renditions are great; I feel the detailed, multidimensional cityscapes drawn in unexpected contexts and scales are his more exemplary works. I especially love the whimsy and pastel color stories of the last three.
