I ran across Christina Christoforou’s portfolio/website today after seeing the president’s day New York Times “Op-Art” above, aptly titled “Heads of State”.

Christina Christoforou is a London-based illustrator and artist. Her drawings are loose and colorful and full of vivid awesomeness. Here are some interesting drawings for the programme of “Spring Awakening”, commissioned by the National Theater of Greece, 2008:

Dalston Creative Monday, February 15th, 2010

Dalson CreativeDalston Creative is a multi-disciplinary (books, brochures, catalogues, websites, logotypes, digital, art direction, film, and photography) design studio based in Stockholm, Sweden. You definitely should have a look around their project page for some hardcore inspiration– It is pretty clear Dalston has a sharp aesthetic eye and a definitive type-based/minimalist/modern standard and style for all of their projects.

Here are some favorites of mine:
