Funky Fish

A mate of mine wanted a funky looking fish for her boy friends birthday so that she could get the design printed on a hat. She wanted a one off design so that it could be speical for his birthday so here it is the one of design never to be printed or re-used ever again.

If people do want designs created for them I am happy to do them.

Please keep enjoying Angels Recommends work.

Aakash Nihalani

Just came across this guy Aakash Nihalani. I'll be honest Im not usually impressed with the sort of geometric fashion that everyone seems to be adopting right now in art and illustration, not because I dont like the aesthetics, I think there are just too many people doing it for it to be interesting anymore. But this guy is a total breath of fresh air. I can see why he's using these shapes, how they have meaning and making a genuine statement/reaction to their surroundings, they are beautiful and they just 'fit'. It feels a bit humbling-Im not sure why-like your able to view the world through another artists eyes. Anyway I never thought Id appreciate this type of art but it really makes me smile :D

The Keystone Design Union on collaboration

Came across this video, I thought it was really interesting how the the practice of freelancers within the design industry is evolving. There are some great quotes about collaboration in the video too.
