AMC Pacer Ads

solemone — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 14:08:59 +0000

A few weeks ago I showed you some retro ads of the AMC Gremlin. While searching that ads I came across the AMC Pacer, which I think looks even cooler. The retro futurism design with rounded shape and massive glass area is simply amazing. I think it looks a little bit like the vehicle from the Jetsons.

Last week when I was searching for Street Art inspiration from Berlin I found this portraits made by MTO. The style is just as good as the selection of the films and music legends. Check out MTO on Flickr or on Myspace. If you are in Berlin don’t miss the chance to see some works in real. For that MTO has made a map of his spots.

A few days ago I posted an article about Wall-Painted Animations by Blu. One of this animations was made in my hometown Berlin. We have a huge culture of Graffiti- and Streetartists here and that is just awesome. For demonstration I have picked some examples from Flickr. In future I want to post more about Graffiti and Streetart from Berlin. Because it is a great Inspiration to me.

A while ago I have bought a book called Kustom Graphics. It is filled with great illustrations from very talented artists. One I especially noticed is Félix LaFlamme from Drummondville, Quebec. He illustrates insane concepts and monsters that look awesome. Check out LaFlamme’s Website for more information.

When I was 14 years old I had a T-Shirt from Mambo on which a blue genie-woman was. It was absolutely my favorite shirt because the illustrated Genie looks awesome. Unfortunately it is too small and shabby to wear. Anyhow, the shirt was designed by Rockin’ Jelly Bean. His wicked illustrations of half naked women inspired me a lot. So I want to show you some of his work.

The Beatsteaks are one of my favorite bands and their latest song “Milk & Honey” rocks again. Today I made some experimental fan art with the logo from the original cover artwork. It was just an exercise but it was great fun. I look forward to the new album that will be released at the end of January.

My latest technical gadget is a USB-Microscope with LED lights. It is so cool to see the world in this small dimension. Unfortunately it has just a VGA resolution but it is awesome for inspiration. I’ve made a small collection of some typical household elements that you can see below.
