The super-talented, mega-versatile Melvin Galapon treats us all to some super new updates

Sometimes as the December days darken the creative world seems to slide into a slight pre-Christmas torpor and new work is rather few and far between. But the pay-off for this undoubtedly comes in January when the New Year’s Resolutions kick into overdrive and the world and his wife update their sites with super new projects. The latest to invite us to feast on his recent work was illustrator Melvin Galapon who enjoyed a top 2012 with a host of interesting and eye-catching projects. Not only is Melvin a really skilled image-maker, he is also terrifically versatile; so alongside prints and textile designs there are also idents for Spine TV, 3D projections and installations. Mix in Melvin’s openness to collaboration with the likes of Von and you’ve got a creative who is well on course to match the heights he hit last year.
