"Russian-born Vania Zouravliov's surreally haunting illustrations capture a mixture of innocence, beauty, and decay. Inspired by sources as seemingly opposite as Russian folklore, Japanese illustration, and pop culture, his drawings are elaborately composed and demonstrate the technical brilliance of an old master." [Publisher's statement].
Young designers rediscover the allure of traditional printing.
This book is a striking collection of the personal, often playful and thought-provoking installations in urban environments that use and react to walls, traffic signs, trees, ads, and any and all elements of the modern city. It is the first book to document these very current art projects as well as their interplay with fine art, architecture, performance, installation, activism and urbanism in a comprehensive way. This perceptive work brings art to the masses and helps us to rediscover our every day surroundings. It challenges us to question if the cities we have are the cities we need while adding a touch of magic to mundane places and situations.

"Romance is back in fashion, design and art. In the last two to three years vector design has been made softer and more human with elements done by hand. Now designers are playing with motifs that hearken back to an era way before desktop publishing: flowers, butterflies, hearts, candles, sunsets and ornaments. Through its presentation of classical romantic elements in outstanding examples of contemporary illustration, photography and graphic design this book defines a current version of "Romantik"."--Jacket.
