Branding : Mockbirth EP

Take a look at this great little EP packaging design by Greek designers Stavros Kypraios and Dimitris Deligiannis from Nevertheless design studio.

"Due to the low budget production and limited edition of packages, we decided to make our design a little more experimental. We made mono-prints with tree trunks and leaves and combined them with a geometry pattern taken from the logo lines. The whole package consists of a hand printed CD, a paper case sewn with black thread and wrapped with a two color offset, double sided poster and sealed with white wax. The wrapping poster can after the opening be used as an actual wall poster signed and numbered by the band."

Showcase : Juan Rivera's sketchbook

I love looking inside artist's sketchbooks, it's like looking inside their heads. I like Juan's head, it's full of freaky little creatures and animated popcorn.

You can check out more of his art over here.

Love/Hate : Russian Dolls

When I was a kid I had a set of Russian nestling dolls and I loved them. However, now that I am a bit older I find that they don't really fit in with any of my stuff - they are just too, well... folky. So, I decided to go for a hunt around the internet for some modernised versions and I have found some crackers.

Take a look at the ones below and let me know what you think.
