KEN MEIER VIA SPACE COLLECTIVE


The picture above is the work of Ken Meir a designer whose work I came across on the infantly interesting and far more worthy of a blog post (but not as easy to find a nice image to represent it) SpaceCollective. I highly recommend looking at both of these sites, and really do check out the gallery of SpaceCollective.
