“Inglorious Fashionistas” by Nantes, France-based graphic designer and painter, Sebastien Bouchard. Check out his website for more work. Another image on the next page.

Because Studio is the freelance design practice of Northern England-based graphic aficionado, Loz Ives. His latest limited edition print project is titled, “Optimism/Pessimism,” and even though they sold out in a jiffy, they’re really something to admire. Adding to the adage of looking at the glass–or in this case the print– half full or half empty, the ink coverage on the posters amounts to exactly 50 percent of their total surface area. Check out his store or website for more info. Three more detailed shots on the other side.

Mike Giepert accidentally invented icon spelling when the word “Browse” (last image, second page) popped up in the dock of his Mac. Pretty damn cool. Four more on page two.
For 15 years, artist Will Wagenaar has accumulated discarded items and transformed them into these remarkable one-of-a-kind sculptures. He estimates that 80 percent or more of the materials he uses are recycled. Each one of his characters possesses a certain curious personality, which makes his use of inanimate objects that much more impressive. Wagenaar has set up a pretty successful Etsy shop where he sells these sculptures under the moniker, “Reclaim2Fame.” Most of them are quite expensive at $100.00-$625.00 dollars. Click here to buy one or to see the rest of his catalog. Five more on the next page.
