Lets start Monday off with a whole bunch of fun. When I was a kid I spent a lot of time drawing cars, most of which involved the General Lee, the A-Team van or K.I.T.T. all jumping, smashing into one another or speeding down a road. I believe my dad was the one who first taught me to draw the general shape of a car from side profile, making sure I got the doors and windows in the right place.
Well, check out the work of Norwegian artist Fred Lammers, aka Fred Boss. He does lots of other amazing illustration work, but I couldn’t get enough of these cartoony custom cars he had posted on his Myspace. Just love them for so many reasons. Some are long and sleek, others squat and blocky not to mention the attention to detail including logos, striping and beautiful color treatments. He even lays them out like magazine ads from the ’50s. Awesome.
I really hope Fred has or will be working with either Pixar or Hot Wheels in the future because this sort of thing should not go unnoticed in the film/toy industry.
I was browsing around the web searching for my daily inspiration images, something that I do everyday, when I bumped into Bradley Sharp’s work and really liked it. The image that got my attention was the first one from this selection, which by the way is already my new desktop wallpaper. Since I liked the style and the idea from that one image I decided to check out his portfolio for more stuff and noticed that it was pretty cool to show here to you. His illustrations/vectors are really stylish. His lines, characters, E.T.s alike elements, colors and shapes are pretty cool and eye catching.
Hello all.. I’m Brad Sharp, a Graphic Designer from the UK. I spend a good amount of time on personal work and with my illustrations – beginning with sketchbooks from as early as I can remember. In the past 5 years I’ve been playing more and more with vectors, which I’m always learning. I often get inspiration from nature or technology and sometimes look at the interplay between the two.
Check out the selection we put together and don’t forget to visit his website for more. Hope you like it! Enjoy. =)

monster engine lead Monster Engine brings childrens drawings to life (12 Photos)
Eleven years ago Dave Devries started the Monster Engine project with one single question: What would a child’s drawing look like if it were painted realistically? This month, Dave’s art is being celebrated at the INDYINK gallery where dozens of artists are putting their own takes on children’s sketches. Look for those photos next week. Many more photos here.
“…as we know, money is a real addiction for most of us.
That was one of the things for me personally about Dark Side of the Moon.
When it became successful, it was at that point, I had to decide really whether I really was a socialist or not. (smile)
Because if you suddenly got a few quid, you’ve got to decide if you are going to hang on to it…whether you put it in the bank or whatever you do with it, it will be invested by somebody.
So you have to decide whether to become a capitalist or not.”
