peepshow collective = a glimpse into outstanding illustration!

london-based peepshow collective is a “multi-disciplinary collective focusing on illustration, animation, and art direction”. founded in 2000 by 10 budding artists who graduated from the university of brighton with a BA in illustration, the agency has built an enviable list of clients, including: the bbc, creative review, the financial times, the new york times, puma, among many others. what we love about their work is that despite being formed by ten different artists, their overall aesthetic manages to stay uniform, while still maintaining a high level of diversity in their finished pieces.

not only does peepshow excel in creating stunning illustrations and animations for their clients, but they also get involved with the artist community by taking part in special workshops and gallery projects, such as their latest appearance at “pick me up” at the somerset house in london.

below you’ll be able to see our favorite works from the collective, ranging from editorial work to posters and prints, as well as animations. if you like what you see, don’t forget to check out their website as well as their blog, which stays very up to date with their most current projects.

los artistas del barrio = a refreshing concept!

last weekend in Madrid we attended a very interesting art related event, aptly titled: los artistas del barrio (the neighborhood’s artists). in short, the itinerary consisted on picking up a map and guide at a specified location and then following said map around two of Madrid artsiest neighborhoods, lavapiés & la latina, in search of artists’ homes and places of work. the main idea behind the event is to “transcend the institutionalization of musem-recluded art and to return it to its original source of creation and dissemination”.

the range of artists and disciplines was extremely wide, with several locations often offering more than one type of art to be seen. photographers, illustrators, painters, dancers, musicians, and other artists could be seen at their most intimate environment, where you could ask them about specific works or just establish friendly conversation. with at least 46 places to visit, we are featuring some of the highlights of our route with photos and links to the artists’ websites. needless to say we look forward to next year’s edition!
