The CitID projects calls on creatives to honour their city by submitting a visual representation of the city which is closest to their heart. So far all the continents have been covered, however your help is needed to illustrate every major city in the world. Pictured is Lisbon by Nuno Aguiar.
Striking work from Montreal fashion photographers Marquis Montes.
Make Area the online home of Alexey Malina has some nice visual explorations. I’m especially digging the Seven Sins series which explores each sin as a geometric shape.

The Lo Res Project by United Nude aims to create new design variations from objects by running a simplifying software algorithm on the original shapes. There are some very interesting outcomes to this experimentation, which includes a Lamborghini!
If you ever find yourself in Japan, you should definitely partake in a spot of drainspotting! This Flickr pool has a fantastic collection of these beautiful artworks from different Japanese districts, the level of detail is amazing.
Favela Painting is an amazing project by two dutch artists Haas&Hahn to revitalise the Favelas of Brazil. It’s great to see an initiative that can bring such an enormous change to what can be dangerous and violent places. (via It’s Nice That)
Complexity Graphics. Mesmerising work by Russian designer Tatiana Plakhova.
Roderik Henderson captures a sad sense of longing in his images which explore the void between departure and destination. Ghostlike and transient these photographs instil not only loneliness but often a strange feeling of peace and tranquility.
It’s recently been brought to my attention that there has been a problem with submissions email address, in that it hasn’t been forwarding your emails to the correct account (I was wondering why no-one was mailing me!). No emails were lost, however there is a rather significant back-log of mail to sort through. My apologies to those who have sent emails and not received a reply. Please keep on sending through submissions, there is some great work in the mail I have managed to check and I’m sure it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Peace. Toby.
