Impressive Pen Doodles by Lei Melendres

I've had my eye on Lei Melendres for quite some time now. Probably best known for his detailed notebook and sketchpad drawings, the 25-year-old Filipino illustrator has been featured in numerous blogs and websites because of his impeccable skill with pen and paper. Some of his works were commissioned by clients while others were made just for fun, but all of them will grab your attention.

Lei has earned thousands of fans online and his Instagram account alone boasts more than 20,000 followers. He is also the head of Doodle Art Enthusiasts (DAE), the largest doodling community in the Philippines. Seen here are several of his of recent drawings, but you can see more by scrolling through his online portfolio.

Organ donor signature campaign by Y&R New York

In general, people don't like seeing ads, but sometimes, when companies and ad firms go out of their way to come up with creative, inspirational and clever ways to heighten awareness for their campaigns, ads can be pretty amazing. Take, for example, these posters Y&R developed for Long Live New York . They're simple, yet brilliant, and they appeal to their target audience's emotions. They're now in NYC subways to educate commuters about the noble act of organ donation. [h/t: The Inspiration Room ]

Weirdly Charming

If you’re a fan of art that makes you do a double-take, you need to check out Richard Brener . Based in the UK, Richard is an internationally collected artist who works primarily with ink, fineliners, and gouache. When you first see his pieces, they actually look pretty playful. Then you realize the entire canvas is packed with thousands of tiny, ghost-like shapes he calls "champs." They’re all squeezed together like commuters on a rush-hour train, and the level of detail is honestly mind-blowing. Richard spends hundreds of hours drawing these little guys over and over. It’s obsessive, very intentional, and a little bit wild. The cool part is that the longer you stare, the more the vibe shifts. Check out more photos below:
