Our very first featured consists of Mamabart, a contemporary artist from the Netherlands who’s work seems to coax a head-turn out of anyone who tries to understand it. Playing with his audience, Mamabart approaches from a seemingly familiar angle, only to have you step back a second later and realize he had you where he wanted. Take another look.

Also, read about graphic designer Paul Swagerman (OOPS Design), who we’ve asked to explain his methods and ideas on the road to a successful design.

We hope you enjoy the read and check out the links we’ve provided if you want to see more of Mamabart or Paul Swagerman.
