These kick-ass snowboard designs by Alexis Marcou show a real talent for hand-drawn illustration. I’ve never snowboarder before, but I was always fascinated at how each board became an artist’s canvas. The same holds true for skateboards. These particular boards will probably never see the slopes, but they exhibit a level of captivation that comes from the fusion of engineering and art. Marcou’s hand-work is precise and imaginative. I’m guessing the skulls and scenes are first drafted with pencil and illustration markers, then filled in with layers of watercolor and gouaches. You can see some of the process images below. Great work, Alexis! See all the artwork...

These digital sculptures by David Brodeur are his masterful interpretation of Life as we know it. He interprets each being as having its own unique path along its lifetime, yet each takes on its own personality, as reflected by each of his sculpture’s thread-like tentacles. I really enjoy this piece because it reminds me of string sculpture work I’ve seen in museums in the past. It’s pretty brilliant in the way it’s constructed and lit. Nice job, David.

Fernando brings us a stunning short motion graphics video. He doesn’t leave many clues as to how he assembled it, but my guess is Cinema4D or Maya, composited with After effects. His control of materials and shape is top-shelf. I definitely hope to produce this level of visuals very soon. See the whole video HERE...
