# Meticulous Colony Illustrations Artist 3LAND Created Clusters That Look Like Familiar Objects By Sarah Dos Santos | Published 2014-04-13 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3land References: [whatanart](http://whatanart.com/2014/04/10/imaginative-illustrations-colonies-shaped-like-familiar-objects/) & [behance.net](https://www.behance.net/suwanwichai) 3LAND is an [illustration artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-series) from Bangkok, Thailand and although these objects might seem simple from afar, up close there's a whole world inside of them. The artist has meticulously drawn little worlds that are built to look like recognizable objects. What appears to be a camera is actually a series of small businesses: salons, job help, cafes, inns and more. A single skateboard is actually a large skate park for a bunch of [tiny little people](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-sculptures) and a television is just the shape of a large office that houses all kinds of people as they are busy at work. These illustrations by 3LAND are so creative and well planned. The artist took one object and built a [whole conceptual world inside of it](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-box). His other works include a crimp tool, a video camera and a table tennis racket. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Conceptual Objects:** The trend of turning everyday objects into conceptual art can create opportunities in product design and marketing. - **Microcosms:** The trend of creating miniature worlds encapsulated in everyday objects can innovate new fields such as miniature recreation and video game design. - **Meticulous Artistry:** The trend of meticulous artistry and attention to detail can be applied to various industries, such as graphic design and interior decorating, to create unique and captivating designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Product Design:** Turning everyday objects into conceptual art opens up opportunities in product design to create aesthetically pleasing and unique designs that stand out on the market. - **Recreation:** Creating miniature worlds encapsulated in everyday objects can revolutionize the recreation industry by creating new opportunities in miniature recreation and theme park design. - **Video Game Design:** The trend of creating microcosms can be applied to video game design to create unique game worlds that captivate players and expand the boundaries of the gaming industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Miniaturized Product Art Photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/small-muji.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Miniature Artful Hip-Hop Landmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/danny-cortes.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Laser-Cut Urban Artistry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/laser-cut-city-maps.md) - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [Intricate Resin Hand-Painted Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snh003.md) - [3D-Printed Colorful Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/olivier-van-herpt-1.md)
