Design Porn is a Canadian based website for the design nuts among (inside of?) us. At first, I couldn’t quite figure out what to expect, what I would step into after clicking on a link with those two powerful words coupled, but once there it took me but a few seconds to realize that the beautifully twisted people from AmoebaCorp, a Toronto based design firm responsible for Design Porn, have a relation to design as humanity has to sex: a deep, delicious, inexplicable, insatiable, ever-lasting one. They built Design Porn for their peers and it shows.
For the love of me, I cannot explain the moronic depths I had to reach to totally ignore for the best of half an year the fact that Colleen Davidson, then a member of Design Porn, had elected me her favorite illustrator from iStockPhoto! Now… if you have spent the time to check some of the awesome illustrations available on iStockPhoto *and* also spent some time reviewing Design Porn’s selective stuff… well, you would be just as flattered as I am! They were even kind enough to make a brief animation showcasing some of my prints.
I won’t say Design Porn is a one-stop-shop for all things design because there is no such a thing for design, but I will go as far as telling you
that Design Porn is one the selected few I’ve been keeping my eyes on as of lately. Enjoy them!
Note to Design Porn people: I know I was featured in the Home Grown section, an area reserved for Canadian designers, so just to clarify matters, although I live in Montréal, I was born and raised in Brazil, from which I intrinsically inherit design influences, for better and for worse. :)
