July’s Creative Inspirations
Inspiration 1: The Furry Thing by Kamwei Fong
The Furry Thing// Kamwei Fong // 3D Motion-Designer & Illustrator
Kamwei Fong, a 3D Motion-Designer & Illustrator, has caught our attention with his series, ‘The Furry Thing’.
What sets Fong’s work apart is his ability to generate a diverse array of designs, all stemming from a single, simple concept. This versatility showcases his technical skills with his ability to infuse each piece with its own unique character.
Fong’s attention to detail is evident in every aspect of his work. From the textures and shadows to the shapes, each element is carefully crafted to bring out the distinct personalities of ‘The Furry Thing’. This exploration of individuality within each piece adds a layer of depth and intrigue, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the world he has created.
Inspiration 2: Sounds Wild and Broken by Daniel Liévano
Sounds Wild and Broken// Daniel Liévano // Conceptual Illustrator
In our exploration of creative inspirations, we’ve been captivated by the work of Daniel Liévano, a conceptual illustrator whose piece, “Sounds Wild and Broken,” has left a profound impression on us.
What strikes us most about Liévano’s work is his unique blend of styles. He masterfully combines delicate scientific illustrations of nature, animals, figures, and landscapes with abstract shapes and lines. This fusion of realism and abstraction allows him to visualise sound and senses in a way that is both visually stunning and intellectually engaging. The result is a layered, collage-like effect that connects imagery in a harmonious yet thought-provoking manner.
Adding to the allure of his work is Liévano’s use of animation within his static illustrations. This subtle touch of movement breathes life into his creations, infusing them with a dreamlike quality that transports viewers into paused worlds teeming with possibility.
Inspiration 3: Collage Nature Animations by Gianluca Bagnasco

Bagnasco’s work is a testament to his ability to create clean and crisp backgrounds despite the inherent messiness of the found materials he uses. His use of leaves and flowers opens new avenues for creativity with the inherent color variations and shapes of these materials bring a unique vibrancy and texture to his scenes.
Bagnasco’s unique approach to simple scenes is achieved through his attention to detail, from the careful placement of each element to the harmonious balance of colours and shapes.
Inspiration 4: Sunday Windows by Maciej Drabik

Drabik’s work is a testament to his ability to create immersive experiences through subtle camera movements in each scene. This technique gives the viewer a sense of depth, making them feel like a fly on the wall, intimately observing the unfolding narrative.
The pixel art in Drabik’s work, paired with carefully chosen colour palettes, evokes a sense of nostalgia and serenity. This combination transports viewers back in time, immersing them in a tranquil, almost dreamlike state.
The art piece’s minimalistic animation draws the viewer’s focus towards its intricate and carefully designed illustrations, enhancing our appreciation of the artwork.
The Power of Creative Visualisation
