1920’s Project by Jakub Rozalski

Jakub rozalski - 1920s project

Jakub Rozalski is a Polish artist who wields a graphics tablet to mix early 20th century artwork with futuristic machine warriors. It’s quite surreal to witness manual laborers, cavalrymen and foot soldiers working alongside gigantic robots… And he somehow makes it all look very natural.

Interesting note: the piece above titled “Into the Wild,” is a tribute to the bear ‘Wojtek‘, who fought with the Polish army in Africa and at Monte Casino.

Maiko Gubler

The Swiss-Japanese artist Maiko Gubler belongs to the creative group in Berlin, originally moving to Germany because she was “charmed by the rawness, the undefined space and the inherent history of Berlin in the 90s.”  She works in a variety of mediums — illustration, sculpture, 3D modeling, and graphic design — and all of it is well crafted.

The images above are fantastically crisp, driven by blue skies, clean lines, and bright tile.

Yusaku Kamekura – Japanese Graphic Art

November 22nd, 2011 | Space


Yusaku Kamekura (1915-1997) was one of Japan’s most prolific graphic designers.  He is probably best-known for his 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games posters as Japan was still culturally shaken from the aftermath of the WWII, and Kamekura was tasked with creating a successful poster campaign to propel his country into the post-war design elite.

He has created countless magazine and book covers, signs, and prints.  For his exhibition ‘The Universe of Curved and Straight Lines: Designs by Yusaku Kamekura’ he received the 25th Mainichi Arts Award in 1983. And I’m not sure how he picked up this one, but his nickname was “The Boss”…

I really enjoy his colorful brand of minimalism.  His works gain a lot of depth with empty space and carefully placed lines.

You can find more of his work here – a blog dedicated to the history of graphic design in Japan.

This book published in 1973 covers two decades of his best work in the fields of posters, magazine & book covers, neon signs, and other graphics.

Images from the book can be found here.
