January 25, 2010 |

Sheffield, UK based illustrator Jonny Wan describes his work as ‘combining shape experimentation, facial expressions and symmetry in producing unique and organic visuals‘.

Digital Doodles of uberkraaft

December 18, 2009 |

Matt Williams, cialis also known as uberkraaft, prostate has a very nice collection of eye popping illustrations in his newly re-designed website. I like how Matt creates chaotic doodles that are refined within these neat boundaries to create what I can only describe as an effect akin to canned energy. Keep these coming, Matt! MoonApe
