Reflective Photographic Journeys – Bryan Cook

By Patternbank On August 1, 2012 · In Inspiration

There’s not much we can tell you about Bryan Cook other than he’s an artist from Dallas Texas specialising in surreal digital photo manipulation, graffiti, and abstract art. We love these particular pieces for there reflective, textured and earthy feel that fit perfectly with our Photographic Board on Pinterest. Check out more of his great work on Flickr.

Jimmy Turrell – Fresh Retro Illustration

By Patternbank On July 29, 2012 · In Graphics

Loving the work of London-based Illustrator Jimmy Turrell – he studied Graphic Design rather than Illustration at Central St. Martins. He uses a mixture of hand-made collage, drawing, screenprinting and painting alongside digital techniques which gives his work a uniquely retro feel, yet still feeling very modern, clean and fresh. It’s not only us that like him, he’s worked for some great clients such as Nike, Universal Music, Levis, MTV, Conde Nast and Sony Music to name but a few. Check more of his work at jimmyturrell.com

Wearable Digital Art – Netstyl.es Limited T-Shirt Prints

By Patternbank On July 23, 2012 · In Graphics

Patternbank love these freaky limited edition t-shirts. More pieces of digital art than garments, and with only 10 copies of each design printed. This project is the vision of media artist Sterling Crispin, who has collaborated with a handful of well known and up and coming artists to create a real visual treat. The project is channeled through Netstl.es, where you can purchase these limited edition pieces.

Multiple Exposures – Stephanie Jung

By Patternbank On July 23, 2012 · In Inspiration

Stephanie Jung’s multiple exposure photographs superbly convey the heady, intense, manic feeling of experiencing a busy city where the senses are on constant overload. We really love the complex textures and the strange dream like quality of her photographs. See more at Lumas

Digital Print Stimulation – Basso & Brooke S/S12 Prints

By Patternbank On July 22, 2012 · In Print + Pattern

With experimental digital prints continuing to trend for Spring/Summer 2013, the Patternbank crew spotted these amazing photo collage prints by Brit/Brazilian duo Basso & Brooke. These prints are from their current Spring/Summer 2012 collection but with their creative forward thinking, we are seeing this style of print as a key reference point for the upcoming Spring/Summer 2013 catwalk shows. Mixing photo floral elements, abstract surreal backdrops and digitally manipulated imagery, Basso & Brooke are definitely the designers to keep an eye on for upcoming digital print trends.

Also check out Basso & Brooke’s massive 31 print sweatshirt collection, which is a real inspirational reference point for any designer.
