“I´ve been drawing since I was little. At school I had notebooks filled with drawings instead of notes. I used to tattoo my buddies with a black ink pen. I used to draw on any kind of surface when I was bored… I believe its what I do best. Its also the best way for me to comunicate things I cant find words for… Its a theraphy, its a hobbie, its a job,its what makes me happy.” Eduardo Recife

Ribbonesia is the art project which artist and illustrator Baku Maeda has been working on. As an artist, Baku has been using brush and pen as extension of his hands and imagination. Last couple of years, he found more interest in the way of expression in 3 dimensional and sculptural way of using ribbon and other fabric materials. He has been always obsessed in varieties of animals and its expressions and habits since his early ages. His obsession towards animals becomes his major motif of his daily creation. Recently, he is working with many colors of ribbon and creating various animals expression. This simple repetition os twist and bend sublime such rich expression of animal and it often capture the essence of life.
Baku Maeda, born and life in Sapporo, Japan. In creation of his distintive style, he has been working in various media nationally. As he is working in his home town, Sapporo with rich nature environment, he is more and more interested in wildlife as theme creation.
Create: cre-ate (verb): to give rise to something; to produce inventions or art. These two descriptions are the two-fold structure that Photographer Sean Getti inhibits. Raised in Toronto, Canada, Getti rose to the art scene almost a decade ago. With an innate talent to express his art visually, Getti elevates what others may view as unadorned-and fashions pieces of work that verbalize the focal point of the image.
Not only highly respected for his instinctive eye, Getti establishes communication between the observer and his work. Leaders in industries across the board have sought Getti to capture their look, brand, message and voice. From the corporate world to independent companies to individuals, Getti’s ability to translate their ideas and trademarks maintains a standard that not only impacts their designated demographics, but also an appreciation by all others.
Always proficient and takes pride in his craft- Sean Getti continues to push boundaries and techniques to form original editorials, beauty shots, and portraits. Getti creates landscapes and distinguished images, from the initial shot to the editing stage – a phase in Getti’s inventive process that has gained him high notability. Already setting the standard for many- Getti re-invents ways to depict and embody the heart of the image.
“I’ve always had the drive and desire to share with those around me how I perceive and view things… I continually want to converse with the world the way I see it”. – Sean Getti.

Hello, I’m ZSO. (On paper you may also know me as Sara Blake.) I’m an Interactive Art Director, Designer, and Illustrator living and loving in New York City.
ZSO (pronounced |zō|) is a collection of letters that I find aesthetically and phonetically beautiful. Together they make sound much like “so,” the adverb which means “to such a great extent.” I am a person of extremes, for better or worse (most often the latter), so the ring of it was fitting, and the moniker has since stuck for good.
I graduated from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a concentration in Graphic Art and Postmodern Studies—I’ve been working in design and art direction ever since.
These days you can find me at Euro RSCG where I focus on digital design. But by night I also double as an illustrator for clients such as Yen Magazine, The KDU, Hurley, SGCNY, and Koko & Me. I’ll also be having my very first solo gallery show at Friends of Leon Gallery in Sydney, Australia, September 2010.
Ever since some creative know-it-all came up with this widespread witticism, saying “One Picture is Worth Ten Thousand Words”, the necessity to say anything about Oliver Rath is basically obsolete. Year of birth (78), Place of birth (Heidelberg) – who cares about it anyway? His mover/shaker-mentality, his DJing-past, his talent to translate boredom of one thing into a passion for another one – it is all nice things to say about him, but you actually don’t need to know. His DIY-enthusiasm, that built up the whole technical foundation of his existence as a photographer, his mindscape that no school in this world could have teach him, his creative lunacy that’s hidden beneath this Frankish and easy going surface – they are all pretty ornaments for writings like these, but still: anything you could say about him doesn’t come close to the impression of his pictures.
Those are pictures of a maniac. His imagery is infiltrated by codes of urban hedonism, yet ruptured by sometimes prankish, sometimes caustic humour. It is a hard and rough picture language, a language without diplomatic attachments or compromise, but fuelled with unchecked temper and elegant to subtle sense for semantics. He takes everything in that makes a good picture: geometry, contrast, perspective, arrangement. But more than that, he’s a master of those little things, that push a good picture to become an outstanding one. He is the advocate of maximizing impacts. He’ll find the big talk even in the smallest gestures. He might just slam you in the face with a picture. But he might lick your wounds with the very next one. His sense for the right sentiment is without comparison, be it on national or international scale. Call him man of the moment. What do I say? Call him a depicting chronicler of the Zeitgeist. Well, why do I say so much anyway? Just find one of his pictures and call him your new favourite photographer.

SkinnyShips. Hi there, I’m Richard Perez. I am a graphic designer and illustrator located in San Francisco originally hailing from the suburbs of LA. And, no offense bay area, I got to say the Mexican food is a ‘hella’ lot better in Los Angeles. I fell in love with graphic design through old album covers and film posters and developing a passion to make stuff as a youngster.
