David Merta David Merta is an illustrator born in Slovakia. He came to England to study Illustration at Art University in Bournemouth, where he was taught by established industry names such as Joel Lardner, Marcus Oakley and David Callow. He enjoyed England so much he decided to stay after he graduated in 2012, and is now available for commission. His illustrations are marked by fine, careful executed details juxtaposed to organic textures and loose free-flowing strokes and shapes. Human figures are frequently depicted in his work, using a combination of the imagined and the observed, with his most recent works indulging in the use of vibrant colours. Here are some beautiful examples of his work, you can find more on his website and follow him on Twitter.
ArtStack Liverpool Vintage Postcard - Aerial View Dock Buildings circa 1950s Salao Coboi and his creatures inspired by fashion shows Salao Coboi: The 9 Worthies Well this is weird. You don’t normally associate strange, grotesque monsters with high-end fashion (unless of course, you do) but these are brilliant! Apolinário Pereira, a Portuguese visual artist and sculptor, makes these little creatures for a living, many of them inspired by the strange and glorious looks seen on the catwalk. This series is inspired by high-end fashion labels such as Maison Martin Margiela, Jil Sander, Raf Simons, ACNE and Paul Smith and the great thing about them is that they aren’t created with a cynical edge as you’d perhaps presume they may be. This is probably why these little guys are actually selling for a lot of money and are well-loved and in-demand by fashion designers worldwide.
