Superheros
> illustration
I was googeling around, looking for inspiring images for a client when I came across these illustrations of superhero’s, by Mike Myers. The simplified style captivates the essential of each superhero, at the same time as it looks elegant and with a vintage feel to it. During this weekend I actually broke my arm snowboarding, and I quickly realized I was neighter unbreakable nor able to heal fast…But like Davide Bowie says, I belive we all are «just a mortal with potential of a superman». So I wish you all a good week, exploring that potential!
Marco Fadiga Bistrot

For those of you who have followed my blog for a while, you probably know by now that I have a weak spot for Italy. After living there for 4 years I got used to the italian lifestyle, including the delicious italian cuisine. Designer Manuel Dall’Olio has sent me a graphic profile he has done for a restaurant called Fadiga. The design is based upon the food form chef Marco Fadiga – which he define as modern, fun and sensual. I like the details in the illustrations for this profile, which makes me crave for pasta and lobster.
I’ll be in Milan during Saloon del mobile this year, so for those of you who have something extraordinary to show me or just want to meet up, feel free to send me an email!
Hattie Stewart

Since I was a kid I’ve been doodling on magazines and newspapers, but not in the scale that the British artist Hattie Stewart does. Her interpretation of how magazine covers could be illustrated is bold and beautiful. Her magazine drawings take the front covers of fashion magazines to a whole new level, making them more interesting and edgy. Take a look at the rest of these stunning designs after the jump…
Oh Yeah Studio for Mission

Happy New Year everyone! For a work addict like me it actually felt like a release coming back to my office and start the new year in front of my Mac. (yes, I know I’m a geek) To start of the year for PlayMeDesign, I want to show you a new project form one of my favorite illustrators – Oh Yeah Studio. This time they’ve made illustrations for the design agency Mission in Norway, and as usual I love the details and the playful way they master the mix of typography, design and drawings.
Wonderwall

Its getting closer to Christmas and since I recently moved into a new apartment, I have a lot of stuff on my wish list this year. One of those many things is a colourful poster or artwork to hang on my wall. Wonderwall.se is the perfect store to get beautiful posters from more (and less) famous Swedish illustrators. So this is not only a great tip on where to buy your Christmas gifts, but it is also a big hint to all my friends out there: I would love to find one of these amazing illustrations by Stina Persson, Lovisa Burfitt or Lotta Olsson under the Christmas tree.
