Amazing work of art captured across the lens by Ueda Shoji – 植田正治 …surreal and poetic composition of objects.

I especially adore his series of works taken at the Tottori sand dune.

Visit his photography museum site here.

Graphic Simplicity by PIEBOOKS is one of my favorite book I received as a gift.

It showcases a collection of simple, refined and genuine quality of design works- ranging from advertisement, packaging design, fonts, logos and identity system. It is separated into 4 different categories: Cool,Natural, Sweet, Colorful and Modern

A truly inspiring book to read!

One of my favorite designer – Swedish/California artist Lotta Jansdotter.

Jansdotter creates organic and elegant designs, inspired from the shapes and colors of both natural and urban landscape.

“All I really want is to make things that people can enjoy in their everyday life… I don’t want to make complicated or too ornate designs or products. I enjoy simplicity and clean lines and designs.”                                                                   - Lotta Jansdotter
