From Flat to Flight

You really must watch this beautiful stop-motion papercraft video posted by Portland's Curiosity Group. Your kids will love it! Once you've finished, print out this PDF so they can recreate the main character at home and make up their own stories. A little gem for a rainy (or snowy!) Winter's day...

Thibaud Herem

I came across Thibaud Herem's bird poster again the other day and decided to browse this London-based French illustrator/graphic designer's website. I've already mentioned my love of collections, here and here, and Herem's birds, fishes and insects are no exception. Take his bird illustrations, available in poster, card and book form, for instance.

Mais, ce n'est pas tout - There's more to Herem than first meets the eye... When I started delving I realised that this French graphic designer also has a talent for producing clean, simple and effective work like this

Nice, n'est-ce pas? Oodles and oodles of talent!
If you are interested in buying any of Thibaud's work you can contact him via his site. One to watch out for me thinks!

Clemens Habicht

If you're lucky enough to live in Melbourne, don't miss this wonderful exhibition, 100 Kites, by Clemens Habicht at the Lamington Drive Gallery (runs to 10 Oct). This is the Paris-based illustrator, graphic designer and film director's first solo exhibition, described as "an illustrative exercise in restrictions and limitations". Habicht set himself the task of creating 100 collaged kites, made from second-hand books, and has made a video piece of his birds flying over Paris to accompany them. Lovely!
