The lyrical and fashion illustrations with leaves by Tang Chiew Ling

From Malasia, Tang Chiew Ling is a freelance graphic designer and artist who likes to create fun and lyrical illustrations with everyday little objects. Maybe the type of object most used by him is leaves.

Using leaves from several plants, the artist merges the leaves with drawings, creating beautiful and fun illustrations, showing leaves as clouds, paragliders or even night dresses. In his better-known series, "Fashion in Leaves", Ling uses diverse leaves like they were dresses, in illustrations that could appear in any fashion magazine.

Ling explains with his own words: "I was wondering does fashion can be part of leaf art as I'm interested in fashion. The most challlenging in this project was how to apply leaf to dress! However, I tried to find some more special leaf this time to make the "dress" looks elegant. I was very surprised to get those such beautiful leaves in a garden. I never thought the leaves can be so beautiful, some of them are full of structures, patterns and lines on it, different colors in a leaf, even is withered leaves. So, I applied them into different types of dresses according to the different types of leaves.".

The beautiful illustrations of women in fantasy worlds by Noa Ikeda

At first sight, you can easily make some mistakes about Noa Ikeda. First, her name suggests she is japanese. Actually, she is american. And being a Cornell University senior who is majoring in Information Science, you wouldn't expect she would be a gifted artist. But she is.

In her own words: "While my major may not be in an art related field, I do feel it has allowed me to see design through a different eye learning Human Computer Interaction and Design. I have been using Photoshop since I was 13 and thus it has become a very natural program for me to use and have spent 2 years practicing oil painting as well."

Noa Ikeda's illustrations are full of mystique and feminine energy. Portraying mostly women, Ikeda show them beautiful and sensual, powerful and energic, in worlds of fantasy full of adventures.

The bizarre and colored sculptures by Takahiro Komuro

Takahiro Komuro is a japanese artist who creates colores and bizarre sculptures. His figures are at the same time monstrous, but with a little sweet touch. Using basic and bright colors, Komuro's monsters sculptures seem like childish versions of nightmare creatures, something that resembles to me the little Cthulhu animation.

According to Komuro himself, the theme of his sculptures "is about myths of today or future, which one can find in the relationship between problems of modern society -such as energy, nation, food, economy, natural disaster, and human rights- and fluid culture of today."
