Valentine's Day Gifts with A Twist

Feb. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- Hearts are not just for little girls anymore...

New York Illustrator Thomas Fuchs (known for his stunning portraiture and astute conceptual design for publications such as Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and Esquire) has created something extraordinary with his blog: http://www.aheartaday.com.

"A blog of love. A blog of hate. An image a day... Always a heart. Yet always not just that."

Five days a week he posts a new image from his ongoing Love&Hate Series. Sometimes sinister, sometimes sweet, each heart image is thought-provoking and deep, a truly unique and innovative idea and design.

Always on the lookout for fresh ideas, Thomas says, “The best inspiration comes from everyday things. I find it’s all about having an open eye, especially to what might seem random at first glance. The shape of the foam on top of your espresso, the reflection of part of a street sign in a puddle, a piece of a headline while glimpsing at someone else’s paper… Translating something from a different field into some sort of artwork tends to yield something interesting.”

The originality and accessibility of Thomas’s work, which has made him a success in the editorial market, translates nicely into the world of product.
