iregret

Check out the dark and creepy artwork of iregret, a Japanese artist that so far is pretty unknown, or at least I haven’t been able to dig anything up about him. Trying to translate his writing with Babelfish also wasn’t very fruitful. I do know the image at top has something to do with nose water, but that’s not very helpful.

Overall his pieces have an extreme realism, but they’re always moody, even if they’re splashed with colors all over them. Really brilliant stuff. Here’s a link to his blog as well where he has more work.

GrandArmy

I got an email from Larry over at GrandArmy last week letting me know that they updated their site with a bunch of new material. He definitely wasn’t kidding, as their site is now packed to the brim with really great new work. They’ve made books, skateboards, silk-screened posters, created fonts and even helped get the Marty McFly dunks put into production.

One of my favorite projects was the branding and collateral they did for WNTD, a consulting and recruiting company. They created these amazing Spirograph looking pieces that are really detailed and beautiful. I would absolutely do a double-take if I saw this in person. There are a couple more of these under the cut, check ‘em out.

Maxim Zhestko


Maxim Zhestkov is a Russian artist who does some damn amazing things with CG graphics. A lot of his work is beautifully minimal, using mostly black and white with occasional splashes of colors, but his work still packs quite a creative punch. The video above is called Modul, and it’s kind of a reel of amazing shapes exploding, stretching, morphing doing all kinds of crazy things.

I’d also highly suggest you check out his film for Nokia and Universaleverything which is absolutely brilliant. Click here to watch it.

Urban Carpet by Instant Hutong

The folks over at Instant Hutong have created these really amazing embroidered topographic maps of the Hutong area, calling them Urban Carpet. There are 8 rugs total, each of them featuring a town in the Hutong area. The rugs will be on display throughout 2009 in their respective areas for the people to enjoy, as well as showing where the inspiration for these pieces came from.

I think these are stunning looking, and I really love the unique choice of materials as well. Each rug was embroidered by hand using the same techniques that the communist party used in the 70′s in their propaganda pieces.
