Back in 2010 we featured some clever artworks by Christoph Niemann in which he used Google Maps as his canvas. Today, we're updating you on his latest work, which is pretty incredible and witty.

Christoph takes everyday elements, mundane things and make 'em part of super clever illustrations. His capacity of abstraction is such that he was featured in Netflix's "Abstract - The Art of Design". So, check out a selection of his latest pieces below and watch the documentary whenever you get the chance! Cheers. ;)

2014 FIFA World Cup Poster

2014 FIFA World Cup Poster

The 2014 FIFA World Cup is about to begin in Brazil this week and I couldn't be more excited. Brazil hasn't hosted what is considered the biggest sporting event in the world since 1950. To celebrate the return of Brazil as host country, I decided to create a little artwork inspired by this momentous event on the horizon. Instead of using the organic forms seen in the official logo I went with an old school, modernist and geometric style. So in this little post I will walk you through the creative process behind this poster.

Marçal Prats shared a beautiful post showcasing the editorial design and illustration work done for very important publications.

Most major movies out there are filled with special effects in all kinds of forms. It might be a fully computer generated character, it my big a massive spaceship above New York, but one of the most iconic methods is matte painting and landscape design.
