Lorenzo Petrantoni

Lorenzo tries to use the computer as less as possible; he loves doing practical work and that’s the reason why he prefers overall the collage work.

A piece of the world

These are the works of the Ukrainian Psyho studio made for “Madagascar” travel agency. The slogan of the agency was “Madagascar – a piece of the world”, so Phyho literally cut the planet into pieces, each symbolizing a different kind of vacation. That’s how the “pie concept” was born.

Again and again

Super cool video using the mac OSX Leopard desktop by a digital filmmaker named Dennis Liu.

Chiho Aoshima

Debuting in the art scene with no formal art training, Chiho’s work transcends traditional techniques of representation. She uses computer software to create beautiful and erotic worlds of ghosts, demons, schoolgirls, and exquisite natural landscapes.

The animals save the planet

Animal Planet teams up with Aardman Animation to bring us a collection of adorable shorts and goodies focused on taking care of our planet. Take a look at their microsite.

Frida Kahlo’s dollhouse

Beautiful dollhouse made by Elsita, for her daughter.

Stefanie Posavec

Posavec’s work illustrates that geography is not the only thing that can be represented through the process of mapping. Her three maps visualise the language structure used in Jack Kerouacs novel On the Road. She developed rules to represent the rhythm of Kerouacs language, the themes addressed within the book and the length of his sentences. Her work also shows how diverse the graphic response of mapping can be, her final designs having broken free from traditional mapping tools such as contours and grid lines.

There are lots of good images of her maps on NotCot.

Rachel Thomas

Nice set design by Thomas, who joined Big Active a few years ago.

Yuki Nakano

Japanese girl who makes beautiful hand-drawn illustrations.
