Spotted while wandering around the streets of Hangzhou. Snapped because it struck me as rather odd to have SAD boldly declared for a company whose innards didn’t look very art-related. It made me stop to look and gave me a mental thwap. Hence, ooh!

I’m a fan of the color and texture of the figure…

But, you know, I think reckless curiosity would be what the world needs now, just a little bit.

This is flippin’ fantastic.

I love images that make your mind flip. And this guy’s illustrations are full of mind flips. Not brain-hurting mind-numbing mental gymnastics… but a (probably deceptively) simple, rather whimsical wit-flip that I thoroughly enjoy.

He’s got a book out too… I know what I want for Christmas!

Talk about affective (yes, affective) images. This is gorgeous. This is stirring. This is art.

Really good designers are like sponges. They really are curious and absorb every kind of information that comes their way, and transform it so that it can be used by people like us.
