Hit us up!  We would love to check it out.

Let’s dive in….

First we have, HandMadeFont.  Founded by Vladimir Loginov and Maksim Loginov out of Estonia.  We came across their work on Behance.net and were instantly intrigued!  They specialize in making and creating unique fonts.  The reason we were so interested was because of the detail and creativity behind the font.   They have created anything from realistic grass looking font to a font that looks like legos topped.  I love the approach of using tools and things we use everyday in creating text.  Their work can be purchased right on the website handmadefont.com

Next,  I want to talk about Zim and Zou from Nancy, France.  Their creativity and skills are unbelievable.  Who would ever think to create a paper Gameboy that looks so incredibly real?  Their approach to the end result of a project is so great!  From start to finish it is intriguing.  Utilizing physical art to and transforming it into a digital masterpiece is something we are beginning to see more of in our industry.  Zim and Zou are definitely amazing at that.

Were going to talk about an agency now.  Momkai out of Amsterdam, Netherlands.  Momkai was founded in 2002. They possess a clear, uniform and pleasing result in all projects.  They are a truly talented agency and any brand should be honored to work with them.  They are a full service design and media firm (web dev, advertising media, mo graphics, UI design, photography) Something that is truley interesting and unique about Momkai is that they have shown there dedication to outdoing the normal graphic design or media studio.  They have created there own content management system (CMS) called Mimoto CMS.  It allows the user a simple and easy solution to keeping there project up to date.

I personally LOVE this one!  Filter017 from Taipei Taiwan.  They are a group of artists Nick, Enzo and Wen joining together in 2004. Graffiti and urban style artist doing everything from fonts and illustrations to actual toy figures.  They are making some serious moves.  Developing everything from clothing brands to products and full apparel.

They have a unique style and amazing attention to detail.  There creativity and product creation is so fresh! We would love to have them on our MakeMeAlive show starting this month!!

Lastly this month, we have Damian Liñeiro hauling from Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina.  He is a young graphic artist with a great imagination and presentation.  I love his illustration of Homer Simpson the terror (below).  He is working with some large name clients and coming through big.  I think we are going to begin to see more of Damian in the future.
