Minneapolis-based designer David Schwen who is known for his amazing Pantone food pairings has now produced a quirky and whimsical camel-themed photo series called 'Camelflage.'
It's no surprise that he would choose such a unconventional topic, as he is well known for his creative and fun design projects. He's a well-known Instagrammer with his own personal style. His series plays off the word 'camouflage.' He paints a toy camel to match different backgrounds so the camel will blend in. His backgrounds vary from grainy wooden surfaces to a bright cherry print. This camel would do well in the army as its ability to seamlessly merge with the backgrounds is delightfully astounding.
You can see more of David's work on Instagram. Ot just goes to show that you can find inspiration in anything, even playing with toys.
