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.

Print out and fold your own paper cameras

Totally want to make some of these Olympus mirrorless cameras with my daughter this weekend. They don't take pictures, but they sure would make my little girl very happy. The Japanese company has a webpage for kids , and you can easily create three-dimensional paper models of the OM-D or the PEN Lite by printing and folding those PDF templates in the papercraft section . Enjoy! [h/t: Pop Photo ]

Simon Beck creates giant 'Game of Thrones' snow mural

It's been a few months since I last checked in on Simon Beck (previously here ), who specializes in making ornate snow murals with just his snowshoes. Recently the British artist was commissioned by Sky Atlantic to create a promotional art for Game of Thrones : a massive direwolf symbol the size of two and a half football pitches. According to Digital Spy , it took Simon 13 hours, 64,800 steps, and 32.5 kilometers to complete the artwork, which is the sigil of the House Stark of Winterfell. The result is mind blowing.
