Zumba Kids

 

Ben Tallon has fun with these posters for the Zumba Kids campaign in the US.
Commissioned by Zumba Fitness in Florida, Ben was asked to use his electrifying lines to create some dynamic art. The results have gained a superb reaction; he says "Zumba chose me for the energy in my work and wanted me to bring their photography to life with vibrant mark making. They provided 'personality profiles' for a series of fifteen children of different ages and I created three dimensional environments based on these."

Abibliophobia

Do you have abibliophobia? If not and you're unsure of what it is, Vicky Scott's recent illustration for Smart B*tches Trashy Books explains it all! She says " I illustrated the word Abibliophobia (the fear of running out of reading material) by showing a girl and her cat camping out in the library and desperately trying to stuff books into the tent." The piece is currently being used on the book review site.

Molo Kids T-Shirts

These funky designs from Sarah Beetson have been licensed to Molo Kids for two of their T-Shirt designs. As part of the Molo Art Project for the spring/summer collection 2013, seven hand-picked illustrators and graphic artists were chosen to create a print for a t-shirt and to incorporate their signature on the neck of the garment. The line up:

"The ‘molo art’ team and its prints range from Stina Persson’s funky zebra to Sarah Beetson’s wonderful rollerskating legs in sparkly colours. Stina Persson is one of Sweden’s most talented fashion illustrators, and Sarah Beetson, who is British born but based in Australia, can brag about having exhibited her illustrations all over the world and has made store decorations for one of Stella McCartney’s boutiques. The team also includes the Danish graffiti artist who goes by the name of ‘Toys,’ and who is a part of the first wave of graffiti artists in Denmark. ‘Toys’ has interpreted molo’s iconic star. The ‘molo art’ project isn’t just for famous names, though, since molo wants to empower young talent; the artist couple Rack&Nais is a good example of this because their partnership with molo started already back when they both went to Denmark’s Design School."
