Deltainc.nl is a portfolio of streetart artist (streetartist?) from Netherlands. In fact it's hard to categorize Deltainc and define that "what he is doing is streetart". His roots are connected to graffiti scene but now many of his works are presented as exhibitions in the professional art galleries- painting, sculpture and relief are another form of expression. He seems to be very fruitful (I assumed it after looking through his portfolio). His style is quite unique and you can feel that his concepts are repeating through his works. Personally I really like the geometrical forms and the "battles" of those squares and lines.

I also enjoyed reading the following interview with Deltainc.

Example of graffiti by Deltainc. Personally I like the sort of mysteriously "unfinished" or "hidden" parts of the work.

Sicksystems is a design studio from Moscow, Russia. The agency is formed by 3 talented guys: Aske, Kio and Kola (I love their nicknames :)) They started as graffiti artists some years ago and actually this influence is quite visible in most of their works. Now they are working with various media and in many design areas. They are very careful about the geometrical forms and shapes as well as the graffiti-like typography.

In the portfolio there are plenty of good works: advertising commercials and posters, clothing (T-shirts, accessories), snowboards, logotypes. Plenty of good stuff- below I present just a few examples of their works. Enjoy!

Indeepop is a "psychodelic world of fantasy, happiness and tears, good and evil, the world of sweetness and bitterness, mysteries and secrets, the world of bipolarity, absolutely unlike ordinary". The site is developed by the Russian team of designers who make works about the creatures living in Indeepop world. Their interests relate to various areas of art: illustration, sketches, streetart, skateboards etc. All of those media are explored by the designers who give the viewers the insight into the "indeepop" world filled with funny creatures, colours and lots of fun.

The concept of creating the new imaginary world and then trying to earn money on the merchandise related to it is quite old already. The project seems to expand and develop quite well but I think it needs some more integrity within the works to become more convincing for the audience. Project called Friends With You is (in my opinion) very successful in being a cohesive and attractive fantasy world. It might be useful for the Indeepop team to see how they have done and maybe rethink and consolidate the strategy.

Still, I don't want to say that I don't like the works which are presented on Indeepop website. I wouldn't talk about this project if I didn't like it: it's obvious, right? I like especially the illustrations (looks like I talk about illustration a lot recently) but also the skateboards are worth checking.

I am loving the illustrations made by Irena Zablotska (Joulu). She is the Ukrainian designer with portfolio full of very nice works- it was quite difficult for me to select the images which would accompany this post. Most of the illustrations created by Zablotska are depicting some monstrously looking creatures. They are not really terrifying and actually it is quite pleasant to look at them. The pictures look to be quite simple at a first glance, but after having a closer look they reveal their complexity and amount of work which is needed to create them. Congratulations Irena- your works are brilliant!

Apart from illustration and web design Zablotska has also made some works in the area of graffiti and streetart.
