Most of us rush through our everyday
lives without noticing the beautiful things around us. Dutch illustrator
Tineke Meirink offers a creative and playful way of engaging with our
surroundings – just stop and watch, she says. Her blog “Stop:Watch”
tickles the imagination with a collection of simple street objects that
she has given life to by adding a minimal digital illustration.
On her website, artist features both the
seemingly uninteresting original image and her altered version.
Basically, Tineke shows the difference between what the object is and
how she sees it. This is how a stack of oranges turns into a crowd of
cheering Holland sports fans. She even managed to turn her unusual art
into a fun memory game for
kids. And together with the Samsung France team, Tineke created a
communications campaign called “Imaginary Safari” that shows life in
Paris through a totally new perspective.
“There are always new things to discover
when you look at the world a little closer. Open your eyes and see,
inspiration is everywhere”,- says Meirink. Explore her lovely works and
