I'm glad I attended the Pictoplasma conference at Parsons School of Design NYC yesterday. Pictoplasma is an organization dedicated to bringing cutting edge international character design into the mainstream through books, conferences, toys, films, etc. Last night I attended the Nathan Jurevicius and Peter de Seve's presentations...

With digital technology becoming the main media for creating illustration art sometimes it feels as it's dictating illustration trends too much. It's refreshing to see that striking art can still be made with humble trational media. The amazing paper illustrations from Russian artist Yulia Brodskaya are a fantastic example of the resilient power of handmade crafts.

It's refreshing to see an artist that uses technology to push the limits of art. Not easy gimmicky Photoshop filters here. Mark Gmehling uses Cinema 4D graphics software to create strikingly original and humorous characters with a graffiti flair.

jetBlue from the beginning has been a example of fresh, seamless and consistent branding across media as diverse as airplane snacks, terminal design and print advertising. JetBlue's use of illustration has always carried its brand personality well. JetBlue's latest print ad pushes illustration to a higher level of minimalistic beauty bordering the abstract. Kudos not only to jetBlue's agency but to jetBlue's CMO for allowing the creative the freedom to do its job, not an easy thing to do for most corporations.
