Out Of Sight Out Of Mind.
There is no explaination given as to why this set of 3 photographs were named 'Out of sight out of mind' but there is something striking about all three images shot by MeerSau. Maybe it's signifying that your life is your own and that you can reach any limit you put your mind to? Or maybe it's to signify that when your out of sight from various work collegues, consumers etc. that you're also out of mind?...What is your take on these images?

Renee Seaman Treml
Renee is an American artist who does incredible artwork on wildlife ranging from birds to owls, to kingfishers and dormouse's mixing them with wings, teapots and china cups. I really love this work. So much that I want a print of a few on my bedroom wall. So adorable.

Brenneriveien
Brenneriveien are an award winning collective of freelancers focusing on illustrative image-making that crosses the border between illustration and graphic design. With long experience in both they approach each brief from an art directors point of view trying to create the appropriate style for each new project. They are trend sensitive but base our work on high quality craftsmanship and good ideas that hopefully never goes out of style.
My favourite bit of work of theirs is the motif series.

Interview with Slaven Lunar Kosanovic
Highly talented, Highly polite and Highly focused Lunar is a croatian artist who I have been following since my college day. Lunar creates very different images and mixes graffti up with child like characters.
Name: Slaven Lunar Kosanovic
Age: 35
Job: Artist
Website: www.lunar75.com
Why do you create your designs? Is it for personal use? company? Other?
Creating is something what is within me. There's a lot of creative energy inside and it has been that way since I was a small kid. I don't know what would happen if I wouldn't letting this go out, maybe i would explode :)
Some designs I do for myself only and later i apply them somewhere, some for clients, some for various projects and publications which I find interesting.
Where did you learn to create and display your ideas?
From many sources; People learn during whole lifetime. There are many impulses entering the head and pulsing out of it, so I could never precisely tell where did I learn certain skill.
Where do you want your work to develop?
I would like to intervene at as many surfaces as possible. I like to paint various wall surfaces, paint some furniture elements for example, then vehicles, canvases, all kinds of objects.
Also, I very much enjoy involving my characters or illustrations on products or into magazines. It's all connected with graffiti which was my first discipline. It used to be all about putting my name in the middle
of attention. Later it started be "my work" instead only the name. I very much enjoy seeing how my work enriched some object or surface.
How long does a piece take you to create?
It depends on the complexity. Past few years I don't have too much time to paint pieces on the walls for my own sake, so for average piece takes me like 3-5 hours.
How old were you when you got into design?
First time I started using Photoshop in 1994. at the age of 19. First time I was asked to take part in contest for creating a logo of anniversary of the firm where my father was working I was 14.
Made few ideas with markers and this looked very funny. Since that moment the idea of creating such things was present in my mind.
What would you suggest would be the best career path to choose for students who are interested in design?
I would tell that you should follow your heart. There is always a feeling within which leads you to do things which your soul desires. One should never feel sorry for time spent in learning something or creating
something, whether it is an illustration, logotype or a simple drawing. If you enjoy doodling on tons of papers and do not feel like you're losing your time, it's a sign there is something serious about it. I also met
some people who are aiming to become quality graff writers and at the same time telling that they could never understand people who spent a lot of time sketching on papers. It means they definitely do not belong
into creative world.
Did you go to College/Uni if so what did you study?
I studied graphic technology for couple of years. Reason I did not finish it was very bad organization of the institution. I very much care of time schedule and organization so when certain teachers kept on not being
on time, some simply not coming to their lessons, changing the terms of exams by putting them sooner than they were planned not to mention many other things, I was very pissed off when recognized that I would
have to literally live there to bring it to the end, I decided to work instead. The time is the biggest luxury in life I think, and if it is badly spent it's not the way of thinking I support. No way I'm trying to disrespecting the
institution itself but bad sectors were too hard to stand for me.
What programmes do you use to create your websites? Designs?
I do not do webdesign, only graphic. Sometimes I create the idea for the website and I give it to the websters to use it.
I work in Adobe Illustrator + Photoshop.
Used to work in Corel Draw before, inspite of all bad things I heard about it from all my colleagues :)
What inspired you to create lunar?
I was playing the game Lunar Jetman when I was a kid in primary school. At that time I didn't use spraypaint but I took that name cause I liked it a lot. Then I started using it on the wall in 1989.
Later I recognized it as a cool choice. Like Lunar means "of the moon", it's the moon who lights the way in dark nights when you go out to spray. It was like that in the very beginning, but the name
remained and I never felt sorry for it. A lot of people chose names which mean nothing, just are easy to write or easy to remember. Some people use various names too, and I guess it's loss of identity
and wasting their energy. As I'm faithful to my principles, I'm also staying at one name.

Hi my name is.....
October, 2009.
Spasija and I'm caught somewhere between writer, fawn, cat, wolf and general addict. The other half in the female department of Deer Brains and pretty delighted with the title. I like to create and I really like to lucid dream so in general, I re-create those dreams you CAN control and usually, that is served up in piles of words, scribbles, dribbles and most recently, cinematography. I live in a constant, ideal amount of fear that I am not doing enough not talking enough not creating enough and usually, that pushes me to keep on moving forward. Anything I take an interest in I become addicted to and therefore inspired by and right now that would be Emir Kusturica, crows/bats, Theda Bara, doo wop groups, cave men, witches and inflatable dolls. So that's the kind of platter you can expect from my input in Deersville and to get a better picture you can peek at my writing and illustration over at www.thechamberofdreams.wordpress.com and a slice of my brain at http://ectoplasmicresidue.tumblr.com. Two years till the end of the world lovers, let's make the most of it. X
Chasing breath.
& This may be the last time I watch these ghosts,
Walking through grey halls.
Dust on the air like galaxies,
& I’ve been pushing my way through degrading orbits,
Tangling my fingers in your hair,
As you lay just beneath the surface.
Eyes swollen & black,
& The only sound I can hear,
Is the cold as it creeps into the room,
Surrounding & drowning,
What remains is just magnolias blooming,
From the cracks in my skin.
As jet streams tether me to the course of constellations (across conversations),
We’ve had before.
& You don’t know how beautiful you would’ve been,
Dressed in these wounds.
The sun hangs crookedly,
On its axis of tin & wire.
& The light finds a way through my fingers,
Just like your words as they unfold,
Like an aurora.
Géraldine Georges
My main inspiration is collages mixed with type and drawings.
Géraldine Georges is absolutely stunning all her images are outstanding and I base most of my design work around this woman style trying to add a bit of originality to my own designs.
I think you'll agree that her work is stunning.
You can check out more on her website here.

Gunter Brus
I remember seeing this at the Tate Modern in London a couple of years ago. At first it shocked me, What the HELL is this man doing?! After a little while I realised how absolutely mind blowing it is, it’s ridiculous how a bit of art can reach deep inside you and touch something you aren’t even aware of, it was europhic.
I was fixated on this video and watched it over three times, it really compelled me to see something that was so thought to be incredibly terrifying being made into something really beautiful.
Taken from Wikipedia.
Günter Brus (born September 27, 1938, Ardning, Styria) is an Austrian painter, performance artist, graphic artist and writer.
He was the co-founder in 1964 of Wiener Aktionismus (Viennese Actionism) together with Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch and Rudolf Schwarzkogler. His aggressively presented actionism intentionally disregarded conventions and taboos. Sentenced to 6 months in prison after the "Kunst und Revolution" event at the University of Vienna in 1968, he fled to Berlin with his family and returned to Austria in 1976. Brus urinated into a glass then proceeded to cover his body in his own excrement, and ended the piece by drinking his own urine. During the performance Brus also sang the Austrian national Anthem while masturbating. Bruce ended the piece by vomiting and his arrest. Through this piece and other performance works Brus hoped to reveal the still fascist essence of the nation. Brus also was editor of the "Schastrommel" (author's edition) from 1969 on. In his "Bild-Dichtungen" he achieves a synthesis between poetry and painting.
So wrong that he is so right.
