Observed #2: 4 July 2014

In this week's art-and-illustration-heavy edition, caffeine-addicted wildlife, rivers run through coffee tables, brainsploding paintings and more.

  1. Typography: Sawdust's typographic headers for Wired UK

    Wired magazine's UK edition has just had a redesign, and Sawdust were commissioned to create bespoke typographic headers for the magazine's sections. The result looks like a Didone from a distant grey future, all sharp lines and geometry and shadows. More detail about the redesign over at Creative Review's blog.

  2. Product design: Greg Klassen's River furniture collection

    Furniture maker Greg Klassen has made a beautiful range of tables and pedestals inspired by the riverine topography, turning the rough, meandering edges of pieces of discarded trees into winding river banks with the simple addition of a piece of hand-cut glass.

  3. Illustration: Tim Easley's Cityville business cards

    London illustrator Tim Easley has made a fun set of illustrated business cards to send out with the prints he sells. Each card features a lovely monoline landmark of a fictional city, and can be connected with any other card to make your own Cityville.

  4. Art: Mind-bending reverse perspective paintings

    You have to watch the clips of these paintings to see their genius, and even then, the optical illusion will keep fooling your brain again and again.

  5. Illustration: Rogan Josh's coffee-loving menagerie

    I enjoy coffee.

    And so do bears, owls, wolverines, penguins, wallabies, elephants, snails, snails, sea lions, sloths and bulls, according to graphic artist Rogan Josh, who has produced a gorgeous set of prints proclaiming this motto, inspired by vintage travel posters.
