London truly be a swinging place right now to be producing such talented illustrators as of late. First, we brought you Shantell Martin’s skin illustrations, now British designer Nikki Farquharson is turning fashion editorials into cartoons. Between her Mixed Media Girl and recent Baby Girl series for now defunct Missbehave Magazine, Farquharson has certainly been keeping herself busy turning normal fashion photography into an explosion of colors and shapes in what could be best described as Steven- Meisel-meets- Paper- Rad.

Macoto Murayama, an artist based in Japan, recently created some incredible computer-generated illustrations of flowers.  Pink Tentacle points us to a collection of his work that includes some very intricate geometric and mechanical structures.  The unparalleled delicacy that comes through in these meticulously constructed illustrations are reminiscent of Charles Darwin’s illustrations retold with modern technology.
Murayama’s interpretation of a Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) is certainly not something that could be created in the field, but like an episode of Planet Earth, it makes you appreciate the complexity of the natural world.  The organic beauty comes through even in such an inorganic format [...]
