Corcoise

HELOHOLO — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:15:47 +0000

I decided to share one of my favorite illustrator on Flickr – L Filipe dos Santos (aka Corcoise). He mostly draw skinny girls with big eyes and noses and this would be not enough for me to like the artist but for opposite effect. But Corcoise’s people are so lively, so perfect-unperfect that I love to see everithing he draws or paints. And he does a lot, with all kind of natural media.

Take a look!

I also love his series of “Birthdays”. Portraits of some “gods” of old days.

My new business cards

HELOHOLO — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 11:52:09 +0000

As I’ve ran out of the last few business card I’ve had, I came out with new design. This time I decided to go more fun way.
So here we go:

English side

Chinese side (usually I’m against two-sided cards, even though here, in China, it is an obvioous necessity. But in this case, two sides is a double fun)

Some details

Posters of Amsterdam

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!

Guanzhou Ads

HELOHOLO — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:30:44 +0000

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.

You can also find this collection at my Flickr space.

Fiona Hewitt

HELOHOLO — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 16:13:36 +0000

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.

You can also check her portfolio. However, there are not much more.

Happy New Year!
