Netherland Art has created some pretty groovy art pieces using collage materials, acrylics, and resin on a wood surface. I love when art is done on a nice slab of grainy wood, and he really knows how to work that 70’s rainbow.
Graphic designer Lander Janssens, of Grapplica (warning: his site resizes your window), has shared a wonderful collection of abstract typographic designs made with Letraset. I am amazed at how balanced and uncontrived these designs look, which is a lot harder to achieve in this type of work than you might think. I also [...]
Chris Glass took this beautiful photo of a Wall-E toy holding a real plant. It almost brings to life this character from the amazing movie. It also makes a great desktop wallpaper in the original size. I love the title and caption he gave the photo, “Where I forget about landfills and [...]

I love these designs made by Flickr user “Anita J+”. She used books to form the shapes of trees and flowers for these environmental awareness posters. The rest of her stuff is top notch as well, although I can’t find an official website besides her Flickr account.
I found some nice design work by Richard Perez. Looks like his site is under construction for now, but you can view his stuff on his Flickr account for now. I really love the way he experiments with shapes and colors.
