somefield Haiti Poster Project Bolsters Relief Just days after the Haitian earthquake, a group of designers mobilized to create artwork about the devastation which could aid on-the-ground efforts. A few months and a few hundred designers later, the Haiti Poster Project launches today with over 300 pieces by artists and designers from all over the world, like Miki Iwasaki of mi-workshop in San Diego, California (above). These will be auctioned off, with all proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders. Many posters, like that of Pentagram's Justus Oehler, use the recognizable imagery of a seismometer reading. Götz Gramlich of Germany used another graphic element that became familiar to us during the earthquake coverage: the satellite maps used to identify damaged buildings. Band-Aids were another popular element employed to symbolize aid, like this poster by David Daniele. [Haiti Poster Project]
Sensibilities - Myths and Legends of Russia: the Illustrations Let us have more pictures, shall we? Several of us are experiencing December blues and quite unable to rouse ourselves to the spirit of the season. I hope these may provide a few moments' entertainment at the very least. I never did manage to post these illustrations here. Cross-posted at told_tales and storybookland I feel so silly and awkward sometimes, posting these things in communities; especially having to sign off with my name as the illustrator. 'She waved her right hand, and lakes and woods appeared; she waved her left hand, and various birds began to fly about'Illustration for The Frog Princess. 'I'm Rumbling Thunder! 'Ivashko too walked and walked, and met the three-headed dragon'Illustration for The Three Kingdoms. ‘The fox is carrying me away … Cat Cotonaevich, rescue me!’ Unlike that tale, however, in which Chanticleer manages to outwit the fox in the end, this one does not end happily for the cock. This is one of two of the earliest illustrations which I completed.

Guess What You Will Get if You Connect This Dots - Lazy Palace September 27, 2010 / Fun / 2 comments This was popular once, even now children like to connect dots and see what kind of the picture will they got. This is how it looks like when you give a dot art to someone who is a little bit older with a little bit of dirty mind. It is interesting to see what a simple picture makes someone to think of. i had some laugh, thought it would be nice to share with you this.
