[ BOMBOLAND ]

Maurizio Santucci, a.k.a. BOMBOLAND, constructs his images from paper cut-outs and reworks the colours and textures digitally, playing with contrast and shapes to breathe life into his fantastic creations. He always tries to generate surprise by adding a touch of the unreal to his situartions & characters, which seem to exist outside of time & space.

Amazing work!!

[ 'the nicest job is always the NEXT one' ]

One of my all time favorite graphic designers... PAUL BOUDENS. His work is a true inspiration for me.

Paul Boudens doesn't like designs with a shelf life of one day only. He wants his work to be tangible, to have sensitivity, you have to feel the human side of it. That is why according to Boudens it just doesn't work with a computer alone. And so he uses paint, amongst other materials. The result can be rough or sharp, somewhat broken or leaving a strange impression.

In 1991 he graduated in Graphic Design & Illustration at the Sint-Lucaspaviljoen in Antwerp. From here he immediately started working as a freelance designer for the Belgian fashion guru Walter Van Beirendonck, with whom he charted a new direction for Van Beirendonck's house style. Soon after, assignments for fashion designers Wim Neels, Jurgi Persoons, Dries Van Noten, A.F. Vandevorst, Olivier Theyskens, the Antwerp fashion academy, Interieur2000.... and the MoMu-Fashion Museum Province of Antwerp followed.

Try to get a copy of his publication 'Paul Boudens Works Volume 1' ... a must for all fashion and/or graphic design lovers.
