This is starting to become a habit. Every now and then I find an artist, designer, photographer etc that just blows me away. I crave for a project that gives me the opportunity to call these guys up and work with them.
OwaikeO is such a guy. His real name is Ahmed Al-Refaie, he’s 21 and was born and raised in Kuwait. His style and touch is something else. Don’t you agree!
He is just about to launch his own website. But until then, enjoy his gallery here. There’s also a little interview with him on that same site.

I liked the first five years better. But here it is. The 2008 Blueberry Glögg from Blossa by BVD.

I was reading Mashable about Michael Phelps having one million Facebook fans dressed up with a Sports Illustrated cover with the 8 gold medalist on it. I’m really sorry for my blunt humor. But I could not resist retouching Mr Phelps a little bit.
A psychologist would probably say I was stressed due to the fact that Sweden has totally failed in the Olympics this year. I say, I’m just having fun.

We talk a lot about how logotypes, advertising, products, packaging, tone of voice, TV commercials, websites etc etc etc communicates the brand. But usually, the more business-oriented the purpose, the stiffer the creative executions. That’s why I just love to see infographics like these.
How would the infographics look in your annual report next time if you were true to your brand?
As usually when you find something nice and it’s an image, you find it at FFFFound.

Sometimes you just end up spending time on a site much like when you enter a library. You feel good, spend quite some time eyeing the shelfs for something good to read.
Visiting BibliOdyssey makes me feel just like that. Today I spent about 25 minutes just eye gazing the beautiful “historical” illustrations on the site. The site mixes old and new graphics, but they all share a common style. One of my favorites artists on the site is the work by Vladimir Gvozdev. Vladimir has this wonderful touch to everything he does. I first was amazed by the details in his illustrations like the one above. Then I found more of his work.
Oh how I wish I had a project right now where I could call this guys up and create some killer stuff using his skills. The stuff he does is just stunning.

In case you missed it there is now a lander called Phoenix on Mars. The thing landed 17:07 local time on Mars (what the hell that now is).
This view of one of the footpads of NASA’s three-legged Phoenix Mars Lander shows a solid surface at the spacecraft’s landing site. As the legs touched down on the surface of Mars, they kicked up some loose material on top of the footpad, but overall, the surface is unperturbed.
Why am I writing about this on a blog about communication?
Cause it’s innovation - and innovation triggers ideas.
(In this case a spoof ad for Öhlins

I ran into the image to the left of Adolf Hitler when I suddenly noticed that if you turn his eyes up side down he looks like the devil himself. Said and done. Now his looks fits his personality.

I just love it when people grab old ideas and turn them into new.
At first glance I thought it was an ad for Fritz Hansen and though WOW. But it’s just (I love it) a great poster by Blue Art Studio for you to hang on your wall.
Got it through Notcot.

In a world of war, violence, rape, isolation and loneliness we need to act. This is my modest contribution on a wednesday evening.
