London, april 2011

This year I took a few days off and headed to London. I’d been there before but it’s a big city and there’s never enough time to see everything you want to. And this time, despite there was a plan with the stuff we wanted to see, it never happened, so we just let ourselves go with the flow.

And the flow took us to street art starting at Brick Lane (I’ll try to identify as many pieces as I can).

At this point a group appeared out of nowhere and this guy started talking about the pieces on the wall. We thought it was some kind of class but it was actually a tour led by a very nice guy called Gary. I must say it was a brilliant coincidence to find this group with whom we spent the next 2 hours – just wandering around London chasing street art.

I thought it would be nice to show other people’s art, because growing as an illustrator/webdesigner is not just about drawing everyday but also about visual culture. I like to see what other people are doing, I like to be inspired and somehow challenged.

So, on the first of this kind of posts, I’ll show you Gianluca Fallone – a young designer and illustrator from Argentina who’s worked for MTV, NIKE and Cartoon Network (1). I first read about him at The Cool Hunter website and quickly added his personal website/portfolio to my favorites.

I love his vector illustrations, specially the ones with neon-light-bright effects.

So check him out because he’s really awesome.
