The Art of Boris Bucan

I thought I had seen the whole internet but I am so late to the majesty of Boris Bucan's posters. I really like his bold use of line, pattern, and color, and I think his compositions are still relevant to today's graphic design trends, though they were created decades ago.

Born in Zagreb, Croatia, Boris is also a talented painter and mixed media artist. He has had numerous exhibitions around the globe, and was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Croatian Designers Society in 2006. His work can be found in prestigious arts galleries and museums, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

'Star Wars' cutaway illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore

These illustrations by Hans Jenssen and Richard Chasemore explore the inner workings of some of the most famous Star Wars vehicles, from the AT-AT walker to the Millennium Falcon. The interesting part about these images is that they're completely hand drawn, with no help from a computer whatsoever. Prepare to marvel at these wonderful examples of sci-fi art!

Beautiful hand-crafted books by Arion Press

Anthony Bourdain visits San Francisco's Arion Press , one of the last shops in the world where an entire book is created by hand. Blocks of text are assembled from cast typefaces. Pages are printed one at a time on centuries-old letterpress printing equipment; the pages are stitched together on the spot. Two to three limited edition books are published per year. Each is conceptually unique. [h/t: Sploid ]
