Young Blood Movement

Having stumbled across Munkao on various times at different art events, I've felt ashamed I've not paid tribute to the cheeky artist. Munkao is a local visual artist with rather a wicked sense of humour, having painted and illustrated ultramen making love to monsters to naked goats (and women), he is currently working on his zines and hopefully attracting young ladies that are sensitive strong and witty. Hopefully he finds what hes looking for, to check out what he rambles on about check his blog.

Faizal Reza aka squirtgun, has an intriguing array of work. He's guilty for creating the award winning Capital Communication's Website and working with Maxis, Levis, Sole What?, Toyota and other big names. Faizal Reza's portfolio shows diversity as he can spin from Corporate clients to less corporate ones, whilst having a strong art direction and understanding for the needs of the target audience.

British Council brings May's dosage of design.

Seems this year, British Council has been in support for more art/design programmes this year, bringing us onedotzero : reimaging the cities and other delightful events. This month they bring us the International Young Design Entreprenuer which is an intiative to give a local design entreprenuer 7500 pounds to recognise that a finalist may be active as a designer, however his/her work as an artist should be secondary to their focus as an entrepreneur in the promotion of the design industry in their country. Artistic talent will not be factored into the judging procedure – finalists will be judged solely on the merit of their entrepreneurial abilities in the industry.
