SPAZUK: Playing With Fire

'Since 2001, French Canadian artist Steven Spazuk has been working with a technique he developed that allows him to use a flame from a candle or torch to create his paintings with the trails of soot that remain. He then uses tools to manipulate the soot left behind on the thick paper to develop breathtaking images. His work, which is mostly monochromatic, evolves as he is working and he allows the images to emerge naturally.He was a regular painter working with acrylic paint and collage before he began “playing with fire.” Over the years, he has perfected his technique and his work, especially the portraits, which are simply stunning.'

'He often works with smaller pieces of paper that assemble together to form a large portrait mosaic. The self-portrait below is composed of 272 pieces that can fit into a shoebox that makes transporting to a gallery much easier.'

1000 Acres Vodka Packaging by Arnell

Making more than one well designed bottle is a great idea to engage with the audience. It encourages people to collect all bottles. And because of its elegant packaging, the Glass vessels can be used for display beyond the liquor cabinet.

Karim Charlebois Zariffa's 'Everything I Own Book'

"This is an Inventory of everything I own in my apartment. Align objects and did a 32 page book. I won the Grand Prix Grafika in the Students category with this project. I dedicate this to my insurance officer."






I Love/Hate You

I think this is a brilliant bit of typography. It gives a message with out saying it, it gives a meaning without spelling it out.
