Mr.RiuAdmiring the incredibly detailed paper cutting skills of Japanese artist known only as Mr. Riu. These intricate paper cut art are created with a swivel knife to allow the artist more fluidity in cutting curves. His work shows an incredible power of concentration and patience of which he writes:

“It’s not that I can do it because I originally have a great patience, I think that my patience grow stronger gradually because I want to do it, to be like that.”

You can view most of his work on Instagram and follow him on his Japanese blog.

JuancoAlegreJuanco Alegre is a digital artist, illustrator, graphic designer and character developer from Peru with ten years experience in film making post production. We are intrigued with his mask renditions of animals and gods posted above. On Design Ideas he writes this about what inspires him:

“My inspiration is the Andean world, myths and legends, the cosmology of the past of my country, which is rich and varied, I try to recreate these myths with a touch of fantasy and present while respecting the past. I do not have a definite style, I have some forms or designs that I like to repeat in my work, but I’m always in constant experimentation in styles.”

You can see more of his work on Behance and Facebook.

Differantly

DifferantlyDifferantly is a creative studio run by two French artists currently based in Paris and Berlin. They specialize in illustration and graphic arts, exploring the concept of continuity through one line minimalist artwork. We are particularly attracted to these one line renditions of
iconic sneakers. On an interview with Design Hooks they discuss the origin and story of their work:

“We often explore the concept of continuity through one continuous line creations. We are very attached to this drawing technique as it obliges to make strong choices and seek for efficiency with as less as possible.”

“Even though our creations are sleek and minimalist, our creative process comprises several phases, some of them being visually rich and complex. We always need a maturation time to let go what’s not substantive and make sure what remains is meaningful and has its own intrinsic beauty.”

You can see more of their one line icons on their website, Behance and Instagram.
