Yesterday Merijn Hos launched his monograph The Marigolds in the American Book Center in Amsterdam. Can’t wait to get my hands on this lovely little book stuffed with his bizarre characters, beautiful collages and abstract landscapes. You can buy the book online at Hugo & Marie, and offline at the ABC, Amsterdam (a.o.).
A while ago I mentioned the finnish illustrator Jaakko Pallasvuo. While checking for updates I found a link to the beautiful portfolio of Riikka Sormunen. This 22 year old illustrator from Finland already has an amazing portfolio and gives us a glimpse into her sketchbook at her blog.
Yesterday I’ve met Magomed, a 16 year old genius originally from Chechnya, Russia, now living and working in Germany. He joint us last year at the edsonwilliams family, is a member of the select multi-disciplinary collective The Keystone Design Union, worked for clients like Nike, Diesel, LVMH and his work is published in magazines like IDN, Beautiful Decay, and Pilot.
Yesterday he gave us this beautiful illustration for our new studio and shared a sneak preview of his upcoming site update. A promising kid with too much energy and stunning creativity! Keep a close eye on him…

Last issue of our Journal de Nîmes Denise van Leeuwen made this beautiful illustration for us to introduce the Union Special. Last week she updated her portfolio website with a bunch of new work. Enjoy!
Beautiful illustrations by David Callow. Here the cover illustration for Ian M. Hale’s new single Loss. David about the illustration: “I wanted to demonstrate the sense of an eternal moment,
the feeling of existing outside the measurement of time.”
Lenancker Romain, a French based graphic designer and Illustrator emailed us to show his beautiful work. Love his colorful view, the playful paper cuts & folds and clear graphics.
Jaakko Pallasvuo is studying at the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts and makes some really nice work.
Last week we met talented creatives and reviewed their portfolio’s at the Blend New Talent Night. We were very excited to meet such passionate and talented people and so we left Pakhuis de Zwijger with a fresh dose of inspiration.
Our favorite was definitely last years graduate from the HKU Ashkan Honarvar with his dark, horrifying but lovely collages and paintings. His former classmate, Sylvia Stølan, creates more poetic and sparkling collages and illustrations and did some nice projects here in Utrecht.
More illustration; Hedof caught our eyes with his very nice screenprinted posters – a lovely style.
Adriane Galijasevic overwhelmed us with her energy and enormous amount of stories she put in the jeans she creates.
Promising talent Renata Sifrar showed us a mix of graphic, photographic and illustrational works…
And last but not least: Les Ponies Lilas. Three young girls with a shit load of energy and positivity writing, illustrating and photographing all things they like (dutch only). They’ve made some very nice t-shirts (soon online) and made a very nice illustration of Bas en myself as a present for us – How nice! Keep an eye on all these talents!
Friday october 30 Fontanel and Nieuwe Garde organizing a new issue of 60 Minute Magazine during the ‘Internationaal Beeldfestival Rotterdam‘.

Assa Ariyoshi, our new intern at Anothercompany and Anothersomething, shared some new illustrations she made during the past weeks. just lovely!
Beautiful pencil illustrations by West Wales School of the Arts graduate Stuart Whitton. We very much like the illustrated alphabet with clothes draped like characters. Enjoy his Behance and portfolio blog.
Influenced by cubism and constructivism Moscow based artist Evgeny Parfenov creates beautiful illustrations for magazines like Rolling Stone, GQ, Forbes, a.o. Although his influences are quite obvious, his use of color is much more positive than the propagandistic works of the past century… Love it! (via the artist and his model)
I like these strange and beautiful coloured drawings by S. J. Hart. “…Her work combines traditional elements of etching, drawing, and figurative painting with a taste for the gothic, abstract, and decorative. Recent series explore the psychological space of figure and portrait paintings, Victorian post-mortem photography, and the weird zone in which zoological illustrations turn into images of childhood.” Now showing at CoLABProjects in New Orleans.
He studied biomedicine, loves music, loves food and is an excellent illustrator! Say hello to Carsten Oliver Bieräugel.
Check this beautiful portfolio of London based artist/illustrator Anna Higgie. Above the LP Cover design for Italian disco label SLOW MOTION.
Found at Coûte que Coûte.
My Dutch friends at Fontanel made a nice overview of the 2009 graduation shows of the dutch academies. Tonight the show of the design department at HKU will take place with the graduation project of Jonathan Looman (the code boy behind Anothersomething). Curious to that one!
