Tobias Hoss and Christian Schwentke from the University of Applied Sciences Konstanz, Germany designed an A1 size wall calender portraying the company MBTech, a subsidiary of Mercedes Benz, from a new angle. The calendar shows the services of this company in an unorthodox way and translates the highly technical processes in a friendly, humorous world. They created a world out of paper and cardboard showing the different fields MBTech is active in. Everything was cut, pasted, and photographed - no Photoshop. Beautiful illustrations!
Even if this style of product presentation – pressed in starch/flour – is not new, I still like it a lot. These shots for Muse magazine are from Mitchell Feinberg, who has been shooting luxury still life for over fifteen years, distinguishing himself as one of the world’s premier jewelry and accessory photographers.

Kristof Kintera is an award-winning Czech artist whose work appears in many prestigious collections such as the American Museum of Fine Arts. He has also sold many pieces to private collectors. This 33-year-old sculptor and designer is something of an enfant terrible of the Czech art scene. My favorite creations are Miracle, Red is coming, Revolution, Something electric, It is beginning! and Do not touch!
This is a video (turn on your speakers!) from the tech demo for the game The Unfinished Swan. Simple concept, a little creepy and very well done. Basically you need to find your way by splattering paint onto walls and objects in an entirely white or black world. Even if I’m not into computer games, I want to play it right now.
