NEW Debut

1. The visual story of the creative process that goes into creating a mural. Made over two days, Ben Johnston designs a custom lettered design & painted mural for Project Owl, a co-working space in Toronto.

The mural embodies what start-up life is all about--some people just want to "drink coffee, create stuff & sleep".

4. ilovedust were asked to paint a rather large Air Max mural at Nike’s World Headquaters in Oregon. The brief was to visualise the last 27 years of Air Max’s existence, from the Air Max 1 up to the 2014 Flyknit Air Max in a light hearted and engaging aesthetic. Along with ladders, a tonne of paint and some heavy machinery ilovedust took their good friend and film maker Ed Schofield with them to document the process.

New Murals by Debut Art artists!

Yehrin Tong illustrated the cover for Michel Faber's latest novel 'The Book of Strange New Things'. Commissioned by Canongate's Art Director Rafi Romaya, Yehrin's work has a quality, beauty and sensitivity that married perfectly with the cover Rafi wanted to create.

Rafi explains that "for award-winning writer Michel Faber’s first novel in over twelve years we wanted to create a jacket that was something rather special. However, the brief itself was pretty open in terms of how we could achieve this and create an iconic jacket that reflects the emotion of the novel in an original and fresh way."

"It’s a book about relationships and environments...the cover was conceived as a droplet that could also represent a human tear of both joy or sadness. I really liked simplicity and symbolism the teardrop shape gave. I wanted the teardrops to dance like a musical script and the jacket to give you a sense of wonder, a sense of possibilities – like shining a magnifying glass on a universe made up of the same stardust that created all of us. It was also a great central motif that’s a very pure icon for such big ideas."

"First visuals toyed with the idea of raindrops/teardrops, shattered lettering, metal covers even to create a very tactile object. The concept developed with the teardrop as the central icon. Texture was created through the illustration and the use of a foil to create a 'stardust' effect on the jacket."

"There's a theme of repetition and rhythm to my work" describes Yehrin, "much like a musical riff with subtle nuances, that lends itself well to the sense of undulating fluidity, warmth and emotion that we were looking for."

On finally receiving her copy of the book Yehrin said: "The final effect is mesmerising. It looks beautiful as the light changes and plays with the foil giving it a feeling of movement. The texture of the foil has a very tactile braille-like quality to it. It looks timeless, other-worldly and I'm delighted with the result."

This is a selection of October's output

Simon Prades was born in 1985 into a German-Spanish family in southwest Germany.
Since graduating from university in Graphic Design with a focus on illustration, he has been working as an illustrator and teaching drawing and conceptual illustration.
His work is done primarily in ink and pencil using digital tools for further processing.
Literature and social awareness, as well as nature and architecture have been a source of inspiration from early on.

He works in the fields of editorial, book publishing and advertising for clients such as The New York Times, Bloomberg, The New Republic, The Guardian, HarperCollins, Vice, Nike, Medium.com, BBDO and Serviceplan among others. His work has been published by Gestalten Verlag, Novum, el Pais and Taschen. 

"Pencil and paper – the first tools we were given as a child after crayons and play-doh. They’re pretty good, and even better when put in the hands of someone with an eye for detail and precision. Over the last few years, illustrator Simon Prades has been churning out amazingly-detailed and technical work in a way that makes my hands feel like they’ll never be able to achieve anything that good, ever. His portfolio is packed full of pencil drawings, ink work with slices of colour and etchings.."
