I stopped to pay a long overdue visit to Vinyl Pulse (thanks for this one guys!), and found a post that took me to an amazing creator’s site: Otto Björnik. He is a storyteller who uses lines and shades with the precision of an architect (the profession he trained for), but with the whimsy of a child. His images remind me of beautiful old Russian or Scandinavian cultural art, but with the intricacy of code work. Every element shows a different aspect of his topic, which when put together tells the full story that he intends – we just need to make sure that we turn all of the pages. Here’s an Indigits interview that I discovered which gives us a look into the beautiful mind of a master storyteller.
His latest work is a custom chess set that incorporates his usual intricate details and character personalities.
