Pocko newcomers Zim & Zou have joined our outstanding roster of artists, and they are truly the bee’s knees. Composed of Lucie Thomas and Thibault Zimmermann, the French Graphic Design studio is based in Nancy, and proposes a contemporary approach of design thanks to a mix of different fields such as paper sculpture, installation, graphic design, illustration. Zim & Zou’s strength is to be a complementary and polyvalent duo. The duo only work with PEFC papers, and always try to use the paper scraps to the maximum. Take a look at their wonderful creations here
Photographer Ben Sandler and craftwork geniuses Le Creative Sweatshop have teamed up once again to create this stunning campaign for Orange. In a world where aesthetics and technology have merged, the artists propose a vision of future telecommunications through an Art Deco fashion accessory. Très chic!
Ben Newman was recently commissioned by BBC Radio 4 to design a poster for the upcoming dramatisation of Vasily Grossman’s epic novel “Life and Fate”. The idea behind Ben’s work was to convey that controversiality of the book during its time of print, that it was essentially ‘placed under arrest’. Starring Kenneth Branagh, Grossman’s extraordinary work is increasingly hailed as the most important Russian novel of the 20th century.
LesJeanClode were invited to participate in an exhibition at Paris’ Metro Station Duroc, organised in conjunction with Rock en Seine 2011 festival. Each artist chose to work with one band, and here our fab trio set out to make a stunning faux stained-glass artwork for the über-cool The Horrors. A larger expo will be held during the festival late August, with over 60 illustrators participating. See more of our LJC over here
