Polish illustrator Pawel Kuczynski cleverly uses satire to portray today’s social, political and cultural reality.

At first sight, his illustrations might seem funny, but when you look closer, they actually show some serious problems of today’s world.

Born in 1976, Pawel is a graduate of Fine Arts Academy in Poznan. The artist began drawing satirical illustrations back in 2004, and so far has been “rewarded with 92 prizes and distinctions“. In 2005, Pawel Kuszynski received “Eryk” award from Association of Polish Cartoonists for getting a record number of awards in international competitions

Do you remember Israeli illustrator Noma Bar and his clever negative space art we posted earlier?

Malaysian illustrator Tang Yau Hoong also uses negative space to create fascinating illustrations that make you stop and think for a while. His works may look simple at first glance, but actually they are complicated puzzles that take some time to understand.

If you like them, you can even buy creative t-shirts with his negative space illustrations and give your friends headaches when they try to figure out the meaning behind them.

You’ve probably already seen the famous “Facebook version of you vs. Realistic version of you” image floating around Facebook, but I bet only a few of you checked out the website given in the watermark – comicalconcept.com. Luckily, I always tend to check and investigate where all the fun things are coming from and it was really worth it this time!

“Comical Concept is about trying to convey a funny idea in a single piece of art. It is not intended to be a web comic in the traditional sense,” says Nathan Batson, the author of Comical Concept. The drawings are created in Adobe Illustrator, and according to the author “the style will always be vector art”.

Nathan currently lives in Asheville, North Carolina. He started his career as a Flash developer but has branched out and now I build awesome websites with Flash, jQuery, Ruby on Rails and Html.

Negative Space Art by Noma Bar

November 1st, 2011 by Bored Panda | No Comments | Filed in Design

Israeli illustrator Noma Bar cleverly uses negative space to create some thought provoking illustrations. His artworks are so simple, yet so clever you can’t fail to be impressed.

“An artist using “negative space” relies on the space that surrounds the subject to provide shape and meaning. Of course, the term also refers to any topic that conjures feelings of unease and discomfort,” says the artist in his latest book called ‘Negative Space’.

Born in 1973 in Israel, Noma graduated from Bezalel Academy of Art & Design in 2000. Since 2001, he has been working in London with a lot of big names and media outlets including: Vodafone, Coca Cola, BBC, The Observer, The Economist, Wallpaper and many more. Bar has illustrated over sixty magazine covers, published over 550 illustrations and released two books: ‘Guess Who – The Many Faces of Noma Bar‘, in 2008 and ‘Negative Space‘ in early 2009^[1].
