Siggi Eggertsson: This young Icelandic designer, illustrator and typographer has an amazing range of talents, used for impressive international clients. On his bucket list are items like furniture design, creating a computer game, designing a cover for Bjork, creating a stained glass window and much more.
Sci-fi Illustrations by Shigeru Komatsuzaki: Shigeru Komatsuzaki (1915-2001) was a prolific illustrator whose fantastical work appeared on plastic model kit boxes and in magazines and picture books in the 1960s to 1970s.
ShigePékin: From Kirsten Dunst turning Japanese to a colourful wheel chart of the Beatles’ working schedule (1963 to 1966), to an image of Mick Jagger splayed on stage, ShigePékin’s French cultural blog is always worth a visit.
Shigeru’s work is amazing – I just did not realize he was so prolific!
