Solif!

   Russian designer Mikhail Smolyanov, aka Solif, is like the clean fresh breeze after the storm to the cartoon posture of viewing anything designed in or by Russians over the last fifty years is somehow inferior. Smolyanov ROCKS!

   My fav is pictured here, the Arx 3 (yes, there’s a “2”…and a trike, too!). It’s sci-fi meets the 50’s (which, after all, seems the beginning of sci-fi). SO elegant.

   Apparently he uses 3D studio max, and is considered a graphic designer. Beautiful stuff – please check him out.
