Mind-Blowing Illustrations by Loopy Dave

Posted: 01 Jul 2011 08:53 AM PDT

I usually freakout when I find a great illustrator... but this time I've found one that just blew my mind. His name? Loopy Dave. The man knows his thing.

All his work is pretty rad, reminds me a lot of Serge Birault's work (Dave even makes little homages to Serge in his work), and Dave's work is absolutely full of detail, an that's exactly what caught my attention. People, look out for hands, muscles, feet (man, the feet are just amazing), girl's ribs (this one just amazing), fabric and lighting. That said, you may just go ahead and appreciate his work. Don't forget to check out his portfolio for much more great pieces! Enjoy! ;)

Beautiful Houses: 41 in Los Gatos, California

Posted: 30 Jun 2011 09:26 PM PDT

The idea in this series is to show beautiful and inspiring houses. Houses that are remarkable for its design, elegance, elements, concept or simply because they are beautiful. So if you like architecture, interior design and beautifully designed houses, you are at the right spot. Check out this week beautiful house and stay tuned for more...

This week we present you the elegant 41 House.

The 41 house is a project by Fuse Architecture, a firm founded in 2000 by Daniel Gomez and Daniel Townsend. The house is a contemporary project to please a professional motorcycle client who wanted a the perfect place to fit his personality. The home was designed and built around two main components; the views, and movement, similar to a track with the curved circulation paths and roofs.

This house is really beautiful. I actually liked the outdoors more than the interiors, but the house is pretty beautiful. The wide spaces and combinations are really modern and elegant. Wouldn't mind living here. ;)

Check out Fuse Architecture website for further details about this and other projects. See you next time.

We found this house at ArchDaily.
