Lolita



Can I just say the design of this poster is freaking brilliant? Do I need to say more? I've never read the book or watched the film, but something about a young girl and something about sex, right? Someone tell me if I'm wrong. I think that's all you need to know in order to understand exactly what this poster is depicting other than a lollipop. It's probably the most graphic poster I've seen...that's not actually graphic!

The Stork

This style of illustration really takes me back to the cartoons I watched as a child. I haven't watched cartoons on TV for a while, but from the little I've seen, they don't really look like this anymore. What makes this funny is that the innocent looking cartoon is advertising for durex. Out of all the different ways they could have illustrated the same story, they chose a child's cartoon. By the way, does anyone get what's going on here? It actually took me a while.

Sleepy Kitty

Pavel Pichugin // simple



I really like this simple illustration of a sleeping cat, but what drew me in initially were the lines that give the cat weight on surface of what it's sleeping on. If the lines were just drawn straight, then it would have implied a hard surface. But since the lines bend around the cat, the looks like it's sinking in. It's a nice and simple way of drawing an illusion.
