artist ‘simon beck’ spends between 5 and 9 hours a day making these incredible patterns in the snow using just his feet

a perfect show

earlier this week i went along to a perfect day and met the curator/brain behind the best illustration show i’ve seen in a long time

mister ‘paul faasen’ (pictured below) who also contributed work has managed to gather some of the best international names around and the show is an almost perfect mix of serious, hilarious, innovative and engaging work covering a wide range of styles and techniques

there is one week left and i recommend it to anyone with an hour to spare (otherwise find an hour somewhere)
