A plastic glove blowing down the street. Most of us walk past it. Maria Zilli could watch it for hours. 👀
The Italian illustrator and animator turns the daft little details of everyday life into stories that are funny, surreal and oddly tender. She works in coloured pencil and 2D animation, and she’s now making Volcano, a short set in Iceland, with her Foolworks co-founders.
Go give her a follow @zia.amria 🫰

It’s been a crazy old year. In a really good way. So much is happening behind the scenes, as I dash from one event to the next.
I’ve been figuring out the next chapter of @creativeboom and where it’s heading. Much like everyone else right now. It’s a proper “pull up socks” moment. I’ve never been so challenged or so excited.
The creative industry is changing so fast, and we have to adapt. I love the magazine I’ve built and I love where it’s going.
Change is never easy. It can be ridiculously hard. But it’s in these moments that we grow. We don’t notice it happening, but the discomfort and fear lead to bigger and better things.
I’ve also loved getting out there and chatting with brilliant people, like @deegerman and @lisadesignnyc at the recent @affinity for iPad launch in Shoreditch. It’s humbling to be invited to host panels and do talks.
As for what’s next… It’s like that moment at the end of Back to the Future, “Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need any roads…” Strap in, next year is going to be f**king epic! 🫰

Phones up, eyes down 👀
Almost ten years after we first featured Peter Davis’s portraits of people glued to their screens, the painter is back. And this time, he’s at the gig.
His new series, ‘Gig Pose’, captures that all-too-familiar moment when the band kicks off, and a sea of phones goes up. Look closer, and there’s a second story: the Nirvana and Ramones tees, now worn more for the logo than the music.
“I’m not saying I’m perfect… I sometimes film at gigs too,” Peter admits. Same, Peter. Same.
Catch six pieces from the series with Bury Art Museum at The Manchester Contemporary, 19–22 November, Manchester Central.

Eleven years without a rebrand, and when Apple Music finally gets round to one, it involves a bath of mineral oil. Of course it does. 👀
Rather than designing the visuals first and adding sound later, Apple and TBWA\Media Arts Lab did it backwards. Fred Again and NEST Acoustics wrote a composition, split it into single notes and played each one through a transducer sitting in oil. The ripples were captured on camera, and that footage became the new musical note icon.
It took months of trial and error. Too many notes, or ones pitched too high, and the oil went wild. There’s a bold, lowercase SF Pro wordmark too, with type help from Plau, and the same piece of music is now Apple Music’s sonic signature.
Real craft and patience you can actually see. As we say in Manchester, it’s proper sound 🎧
Save this for your next “can we try something weird?” pitch.

Almost every creative professional in @creativeboom’s 2026 survey uses AI. Very few think it’s doing the industry any good.
Creative Boom describes the result as a profession “adapting under duress.”
Share it with another creative.

Illustrators! What can you make in under two weeks? Philip Lindeman made an entire city 👀
For his solo show Open 24/7 at L44 in Sofia, the Utrecht-based illustrator invented a slightly haunted after-dark world of night shops, dancers, lost tourists, and a load of stray cats, with a dash of Bulgarian folklore. Not bad for someone who’d never set foot in the country.
Murals, three paintings, a dozen sculptures, a neon sign, hand-poured candles, and even a beer with its own label – every bit of it made by hand. Some workdays ran to 14 hours. “Somewhere in between, sleep became optional,” he tells us.
Look out for the wooden shoes with floating laces, scattered around like clues from a wild night out.
Nice one @philip_lindeman 🎉

Never thought we’d need a badge to prove we’re human. Here we are 👀
Twinnin is a consent, licensing and provenance registry for the human face. You verify you’re a real person, then pick a side: Licence your likeness to brands and AI labs and get paid every time it’s used, or Defend it and keep it out of AI altogether.
Brighton studio @unitedus_ has given it a grown-up new identity built around a Verified Human mark. The logo is made from the mapping points facial-recognition software uses, finished in the holographic tints you’d find on a security label. Hard to fake, instantly trusted. Every face in the campaign imagery is a verified human on the platform, too.
Katy’s take in the full piece over on the Boom, including the six-second podcast clip that cloned her voice 18 months ago. She’s choosing Defend.
