Somefield’s Illustrations
Description trendland
I just discovered the world of illustrator Somefield and I have to say that I love his style a lot. Always illustrating cute, stylish girls with oversize animals on colorful backgrounds, it creates an interesting mix that makes his illustrations pretty unique.

I would not mind having a pair of hand-painted gloves by Ellen Greene. “Though we are tempted to wear them, the gloves are not wearable. They represent the idea of second skin and hint at a past wearer. They are to be collected,” [1] states Greene.

These one of a kind robot sculptures by Gordon Bennet are made using new and used found objects. They are inspired by Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy whose vision of the “Modern Age” helped shape industrial design of the 40′s and 50′s. All of the robots shown here have been sold, but you can often find one at City Foundry in Brooklyn.

Ray Gilles, The Forgotten Illustrator
Description ilovebelgium
Although we love our illustrators, established names even have a museum, sometimes one falls into oblivion. That’s why it’s up to the I Love Belgium team to re-establish a forgotten talent. Ray Gilles is one of those cartoonists that were active in Belgium in the 1960′s, but whose name seems to have faded in the mists of time.
Ray used a very detailed, almost precocious style: thin lines with heavy swatches of black, quite often combined with clip art and other cuttings. This style led to expositions in Brussels, Antwerp and Liège and collective shows in Antwerp, Brussels, Ghent, Mechelen, Molanwelz and Milan.
In 1961 he debuted with his cartoons on the Flemish Humour Festival. He was asked to design a carpet for the Belgian Ministery of Economic Affairs and won the Prix La Métropole for young Antwerp painters. He contributed to magazines and periodicals like Tijd en Mens, Bouwen en Wonen, Summier, Art Abstrait and Kontrast.
Cartoons by Ray Gilles were published in De Standaard, and he also designed books and magzines and theatre posters. His work was regularly published in Sweden, Finland, Switzerland, Germany and Italy. Gebrauchsgraphik showcased his art, and Swiss magazines heralded him as “a master of graphical humour”.
He was married to Stella van der Auwera, an abstract painter, fabric designer and teacher at the academy of Mechelen. Sadly enough, paintings and drawings got lost, were stolen or ended up in the bin. Our Belgian museum don’t have works of this (commercial) mastermind and the ones left are in private collections. Still, online Ray Gilles can be reborn as an artistic mastermind!

Custom Nike Zoom Force-1 Snow Boots by Marcus Tremonto
Description smileinyourface
Great customized version of Nike’s Zoom Force-1 boots by New York based designer Marcus Tremonto, ready for the future and way better looking than the ugly Nike MAG boots.
Really love the innovative futuristic combination of paper and custom graphics that Marcus used on the boots, which are inspired by sci-fi movies, James Bond and Gundam.
Dissapointingly the boots are mainly meant for snowboarding, so I would welcome similar versions of other Nike hi tops in the future…
Check Marcus other works here.

Sebastian Wahl’s Kaleidescope Collages
Description trendland
New York based artist Sebastian Wahl uses collage as a medium to express his own fabricated reality. The first step is to assemble all the ingredients that will best convey his message and ultimately organize a collection of parts into a cohesive whole.
“I love being the architect of psychedelic landscapes by arranging images that I find and isolating them from their reality by cutting them out and injecting them into my reality when I glue them down.”
Some of these collages are available for purchase online for $2000.
