See below for a sampling of work from Shanghai-based graphic designer and illustrator Chen Chijun (aka: Devil Jaques).
Devil told us:
“Design and life are intertwined facts of nature that are too closely related to ever be separated and will forever have the unique ability to perfect each other. Day-to-day droplets and slivers of life give way to inspiring design concepts that make the world a better place.”

There’s just something about clowns. Whether the bumbling heroes of circuses or the bludgeon-wielding murderers of recurrent childhood nightmares, clowns have an inescapable pull on the popular psyche.
With his clown photo series, Weichengluanma (维城乱马) – Kunming-based photographer and creator of 84km magazine – looks at this age-old character from a new angle. The young photographer combines his talent for introspective portraits of women with a juicy color palette to create a series that’s both fresh and weirdly sexy – it almost makes us want to re-examine those childhood nightmares.
What do you think? Let us know in the comments section below.
