Malaysia-based illustrator Tang Yau Hoong has just released a brand new series where he pairs one of his older illustrations with a famous quote.</p> <p>“I enjoy making illusion art because it has the ability to mislead us. We rely on sight in our lives and yet it is so fragile that we could easily be deceived by what we see.”</p> <p>In one of our favorite new prints, Hoong takes one of Steve Jobs’ famous quotes, “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish” and illustrates it by putting two half eaten apples next to each other. Within the negative space, one can subtly make out Steve Jobs’ silhouette.</p> <p>As he tells us, “Most of them are old illustrations that I redrew to match the style I was looking for and the meaning of the corresponding quote. One day, I was browsing through old designs when I thought about giving them new life. Here is the result. Only the illustration of Steve Jobs’ quote is brand new, which triggered the project.”</p> <p>If you enjoyed these posters, make sure to check out Evan Robertson’s underlined book quote illustrations, <a href="http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/favorite-book-quotes-become-fantastic-illustrations" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/evan-robertson-literature-inspired-illustrations" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> <p>Source: <a href="http://www.mymodernmet.com" title="My Modern Met">My Modern Met</a></p>http://theillustratorsstage.com/post/46862995226http://theillustratorsstage.com/post/46862995226Mon, 01 Apr 2013 14:08:00 -0400typography art design<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ecec2592317b0c72f1e01680f9884fa8/tumblr_mkau5iF23G1rqal16o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/0c3276a69f58c18a6da366dbf243f207/tumblr_mkau5iF23G1rqal16o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ebae26129f5af85c90f39f6bda706efc/tumblr_mkau5iF23G1rqal16o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8ef1bf4b285b1b5fd6d293155258f026/tumblr_mkau5iF23G1rqal16o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ec50955182348e4f26f2ca081a81239d/tumblr_mkau5iF23G1rqal16o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6ab8bfa12d36ff6faa23bb1b090b5f79/tumblr_mkau5iF23G1rqal16o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d2a76342bc8625a3adb6c7d66dc11fb5/tumblr_mkau5iF23G1rqal16o7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/17605278d33d1ebc743742e1775f0855/tumblr_mkau5iF23G1rqal16o8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/67ce3e77870b47885fe3dfa9e9f232c9/tumblr_mkau5iF23G1rqal16o9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/1e3365ae3fe4a24a546f2edc5ba1be3d/tumblr_mkau5iF23G1rqal16o10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><em><strong>10.Deep 2013 Lookbook</strong></em></p>http://theillustratorsstage.com/post/46393265157http://theillustratorsstage.com/post/46393265157Tue, 26 Mar 2013 23:10:30 -0400FashionstreetstyleMens FashionStyle<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6af656fbf051a618c1e40d3bd00c7a27/tumblr_mka6mnCx0j1rqal16o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><h1 class="entry-title">Quentin Tarantino Screenplays as Classic Penguin Style Book Covers</h1> <p><span>UK-based illustrator </span><a href="http://www.sharmmurugiah.com/">Sharm Murugiah</a><span> has </span><a href="http://www.sharmmurugiah.com/Quentin-Tarantino-Screenplays">reimagined a collection of screenplays</a><span> by director </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quentin_Tarantino">Quentin Tarantino</a><span> in the style of classic </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penguin_Books">Penguin book covers</a><span>.

They retrieve the tiffens (lunch containers) of food from mothers and wives, and bring them (by foot, train, bicycle and even carried on top of their heads) to the office buildings of waiting husbands and sons. The Dabba Wallas have been doing this since the late 1800s. Despite the unsophisticated mode of transport, the lunches always arrive on time (the error rate is 1 in every 16 million transactions). It’s a pretty impressive feat and we were lucky enough to follow a couple Dabba Wallas for a day in Mumbai, and see their work first hand.</span></p>http://theillustratorsstage.com/post/46349926251http://theillustratorsstage.com/post/46349926251Tue, 26 Mar 2013 14:14:26 -0400travel
