Andrea Innocent

Posted by Alexandra August 28th, 2008

Andrea Innocent is an Australian born illustrator, designer and fashion designer. Her latest work explores Japanese pop culture. Themes investigate traditional Japanese folk tales and Japanese textiles and their meanings. I absolutely love the mix of western and eastern styles.

Diablo 3 Illustrations

Posted by Sascha July 10th, 2008

Computer games often produce some amazing illustrations. Blizzard games have just released Diablo 3. I remember when they brought out Diablo 1 - I was glued for hours as I explored the labyrinths looking for new weapons and spells. You have to find and kill Diablo.  Here are some illustrations from the game. Check Out The Website - pretty impressive.

Click on them:

Louis Vuitton - Nadia Plesner Getting Suede for Art

Posted by Sascha May 9th, 2008

 Nadia Plesner Last year Nadia Plesner started a Simple campaign to raise awareness of the ongoing genocide in Darfur and to raise money for the helping organization “Divest for Darfur”.

On February 13, 2008, Nadia received a letter from Louis Vuitton’s, asking her to firmly end the campaign immediately, as they believe one of their products is being portrayed in the illustration.

Nadia Plesner is standing up for her artistic freedom to express her view of the world as she sees it without restrictions from anybody.

On February 20, 2008, she informed Louis Vuitton’s Intellectual Property Director that she intend to continue her campaign to support the victims of Darfur.

Nadia Plesner startet her own campaige in 2007 to support the Victims of Darfur. 100% of the takings from the t-shirt and poster are donated to Darfur.

To support her please go to: www.nadiaplesner.com
