Harma Heiken

Harma Heiken’s large sculptures, featured in Hi-Fructose Vol.13 often depict images straight from newspaper headlines. The nearly life size sculptures feature her potent trademark synthesis of innocent, wide eyed children and horrific themes such as war, murder and sexual exploitation. By choosing to encapsulate these themes in the small, cherubic bodies of children, the work radiates a complex yet unsettling sense of taboo juxtaposed with a bright, cheery color palette. This visceral contrast provokes the viewer, whether as an emotional, moral challenge or as a disturbance of an innate political stance.

Skulltastic

Skulltastic by UK base illustrator iain macarthur

Born in Swindon, England in 1986, I became a fanatic of art at the age of eight when I was first introduced to art through the medium of cartoon television shows and comic books. My first ever comic book was from the Batman series. Ever since then I’ve been obsessed with art, drawing odd fantasy drawings and Anime.

FRUSTRO TYPEFACE BY MARTZI HEGEDUS

Hungarian designer Martzi Hegedus created the Frustro typeface that was inspired by the Penrose triangle. The Penrose triangle is what’s called an impossible object, or described by the mathematician that it’s named for as “impossibility in its purest form.” M.C. Escher used it a bunch in his work.

You can see from the “R” example (above) how combining the two top layouts formed the bottom “R” which has characteristics of the Penrose triangle.
