57 Creative and Clever Photographs by Sven Prim
Nov 13, 2009 Featured, Inspiration, Photography
Sven Prim is a photographer and photomanipulator who has some of the most creative manipulations you’ll find. Awhile back, I wrote a post called 55 Epic, Weird and Totally Awesome Images, which featured a couple works from Sven. However, he has a lot of awesome works, so in this post, we’ve collected 57 creative, clever and amusing photographs and photomanipulations from Sven. Unfortunately, Sven’s website seems to have been decommissioned and there isn’t much information available about him.
Some of his works are advertisements, while others just seem to be for purely comedic value. Regardless, I’m sure you’ll enjoy these images.
Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend!

Web Picks #9
Jan 26, 2009 Best of the Web
This past week was a surprisingly quiet week in the design realm. I don’t know if this will be a growing trend for 2009, or if people are just getting swamped now that they’re back at work and school after the holiday calm. Hopefully things pick back up this week; I know they will around here.
Regardless, I’ve gone around again and gathered up the best posts from last week in the design community. There’s a few tutorials here, and a couple interesting articles and roundups. The Amazing Photomanipulations is probably my favorite post of the week, so be sure to check that one out if you don’t have time to view the others. Also, don’t forget to save a life by subscribing.
