Saturday. It’s half past ten and I’m working an idea for one of my new clients. The concept is pretty finished and I have this idea about how the art direction should be. As I browsed my feeds I found Peter Jaworowski from Bialystok, Poland. Peter is this great retouch, illustrator, master ‘photoshopper’. Spot on. Unfortunately he looks kind of expensive, but I’ll try to get him onboard anyway. Read the interview or head to his site.

My search this fine evening was accompanied by a glass of red wine – A Fonterutoli, 2005, Chianti Classico. A perfect match with grilled sirloin steak and sweet potatoes, pasta with grilled scampi or as I had it – no food at all.

The 2005 Fonterutoli image was taken from Finare Vinare, a Swedish blog on wine.

So there you have it. Two great tips for a better future.

T his 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.
