One of my favorite places at Flickr is a collection of posters from Amsterdam shared by Jarr Geerligs. This is a fantastic place with hours, megabytes and kilometers of inspiration. Thanks to Jarr Geerligs!
(+ Oslo posters)
I like to collect all kinds of visual culture stuff. Here’s a bunch of Chinese advertisements I’ve found on streets of Guangzhou. Some are funny, some are ugly. But definitely it’s something different from Europe or States.
In January I went to Shenzhen and found there an exhibition of GDC, the first global design competition in China, which is held every two years.
Here I share with you photos of some exhibits from there, mostly posters.
Also you can view this materials at my Flickr space.
Some curious findings from Shenzhen, posters, signs, sculptures and just weird objects I’ve met on my way.
Also this stuff directly at it’s Flickr set.
Findings from previous trips: China (July-October 2009), China (October 2008), London (july 2008), London (March 2008),
Pekka is Finnish illustration agency that repressents best illustrating talents from this country. Honestly, I’ve seen not too much Finnish graphics before, so this discovery feels so fresh.

Back from winter holidays I start sharing with you recent findings, inspiring goodies.
British artist Fiona Hewitt is inspired by all things Chinese. And her recent illustrations express this affection, stylistically based on Chinese advertisements and packaging of the beginning of 20th century.
Watch this elaborate Chinese animation, made in traditional ink landscape painting style. Beautiful and calming.
Taiwanese illustrator Inca Pan works in mixed media and watercolor to create magical surreal collage illustration. I can not completely apprehend how and why, but his images attract me greatly.
Clean and simple but unusual and strong illustrations from 1937, by Eric Nitsche, prominent Swiss born, American designer. This is not his typical kind of illustration or design, though, he tended not to keep on certain style but rather follow his intuition.
I was stunted by some picture today and wanted to share. And then I stumbled upon another little treasure which reminded me about another piece of art. So here we have a post with 3 beautiful, unrelated but somehow connected pictures.
Show Me the Vanilla Sky by Kanzaki Choi.
Conquers the Dragon King by Yeoh Guan Hong of Super Nature Design (Shanghai) & William Chua Tiong Keng (Singapore).
Film Poster for the Robbers.
