Taking a closer look at something you wouldn't normally even notice may pay off, as Tineke Meirink's fun illustrations show us.
The Dutch illustrator has been continuously working on her Stop:watch project since 2011. Using everyday scenes and inanimate objects around us, the illustrator helps open our eyes to a more imaginative world with her fun illustrations.
Stop:watch is all about taking a closer look and really taking the time to stop and realize how much beauty there is in everything around us. Tineke starts her process by taking photos of items we would never think were interesting, then she adds a minimal illustration digitally to give the images new meaning.
Tineke also worked with the French Samsung Team to help in promoting the Galaxy Note II using a campaign that sheds a new perspective on life in Paris.
