Some more great work by members of the Berlin-based artists collective KLUB7 – this time from their member DiskoRobot. His sharp, trippy and insanely meticulous drawing rendition of the alphabet is freakin mind-boggling. I actually used to find a bit of pride in all my crappy little triangular doodles on my school pages. Now I’m wondering if I’ll ever even try to draw a pyramid again.

DiskoRobot is without doubt a maestro of such detailed and yet abstract  hand-lettering works. Check his page for way more great stuff.

Sam Chirnside, Postmodern

As artists develop techniques through experimentation and influence, they must find themselves engulfed in a movement. One movement, Postmodernism is an incredibly opportune style, a fortunate chrysalis. Postmodernism has the fortune of using previous movements. Sam Chirnside draws upon Postmodernism with a polished yet speculative refinement. There is a challenging level of symmetry in Sam’s works. The work includes diminutive adjustments that reward the viewer, prompting him to search for deeper meaning. Chirnside is a purveyor of raw surrealism. A ‘cut and paste’ jaunt through the daunting distortions lead us to our question our existence. To not allow yourself to engage with his visual intimations, is truly a renouncement of cognizance.
A link to his blog and portfolio here.

In any case, it’s all great stuff, and I’m especially enjoying Masha’s style of collage. She definitely creates some cool worlds.
