The Islands | Reinhard Krug | Hamburg (GER) | By Lee Fleming

We recently came across 'The Islands' by Hamburg-based graphic artist and art director Reinhard Krug. . The intriguing urban portrait series depicts the metropolises of London, Berlin, Hamburg, Hong Kong, Sydney, Cape Town and New York as floating asteroids. The Islands series is available as limited edition prints on Krug's Etsy shop.

Viction:ary | CITIx60 Art Print Project | Hong Kong (CHN) | By Lee Fleming

Recently released, the CITIx60 Art Print Project is an extension of CITIx60 City Guides, a collaboration created by Hong Kong-based Viction:ary and a handful of acclaimed designers that also includes selected city maps. Founded in 2001 by Victor Cheung, Viction:ary is the publishing arm of design house Viction Workshop Ltd. who specialise in visual arts and design publishing from East and West.

Alongside the publication, their inspirational city guide series highlights 60 venues recommended by a local creative in each location. To complement this, Viction:ary's CITIx60 Art Print Project consists of beautifully illustrated maps of exaggerated details which re-examine the distinctive landscapes of Tokyo, Paris and Berlin. The limited edition maps are produced as high quality art prints, 60 respectively at A1 and A2 formats.

The adventurous illustrations by New Zealand and Japan-based Masako Kubo (Tokyo map), Scottish illustrator and designer Allan Deas (Paris map) and Helsinki-based Vesa Sammalisto (Berlin map) were especially commissioned for this project and can be viewed on the Viction:ary website.
