Vienna - a trip to the museum quarter

A Banksy (!) spotted while enjoying a tram ride...

Section of a very well illustrated alleyway ceiling in the Museum Quarter...

Yup, I travelled again : ) to vienna...and thought I'd mention the art hub of the city - the museum quarter to all enthusiasts. Some very interesting little art and innovation boutiques amidst gigantic museums...showcasing impressionist, art nouveau/ art deco, urban work...in one of the back streets in the area there were also studio apartments rented out to artists and designers who were exhibiting the time. Lots of quirky sculptures, free summer gigs...

And for street art te best place to head to in vienna is the danube canal...

Jesse LeDoux

Artist Jesse LeDoux was an art director for Seattle-based Sub Pop Records and is still awesome.

Abduzeedo. Graphic Design Inspiration

This site has been around for ages, but it's quite regularly updated, and jam-packed with inspirational imagery, interviews, tutorials, and free stuff. It's definitely worth a look at if you have a few minutes (hours!) spare. RH

Harvard Business School Book Covers

Here's a few work examples from one of our competitors.

They seem to break the mould of traditional, corporate, business book covers. I think this is mainly due to the fact that they have been designed by Kelly Blair. Her site has some rather interesting work examples.

The art of romance

Yummy!

The work of designer and artist Javier Mariscal has something for everyone - well worth a visit to the exhibition. CP
