Helmo | Fashion Animals

French design team Helmo - Thomas Couderc and Clément Vauchez, put together a pretty crafty series called Bêtes de Mode using an anaglyph 3D technique.

Bêtes de mode - Fashion animals, is a series of 13 images created for the Galeries Lafayette in Paris.

The images of the animals in the red hue merged with images of beautiful people in the cyan hue, in a synchronous pose, make you almost want to put your 3D glasses on.

But really, it’s not necessary, because the design aesthetic is so striking and haunting, they are meant to be viewed as you see them now.

Olivia Muus, 1985 | Museum of Selfies

Olivia Muus, a designer and marketer based in Denmark, has found a new fun idea that will make sure you won’t get bored the next time you visit a museum.

Olivia, who works as an art director at an advertisement bureau, got the idea with a friend when the two of them were visiting the States Museum of Art (Statens Museum for Kunst).

“I Saw the paintings and thought that there was something selfie’ish in their expressions. I then played around with it a little bit and the result got to look really funny” She says about the images that were made by holding a phone in front of the images, so that it appears that the characters are in the middle of taking a selfie.

Siegfried Zademack, 1952 | Surrealist painter

Siegfried Zademack, German painter, was born in Bremen.

Freelance artist since 1980. Several artshows of his work in and outside his homecountry.

Siegfried Zademack's surrealistic visionary paintings make recipients and reviewers wonder.

The arrangement of his pictorial thoughts immensely exceeds a realistic reproduction.

His pictures allow us to slip in metaphysical dimensions, between humorous irony and the unfathomable deepness of our souls.
