Puzzled

This weeks Illustration Friday submission. Homage to the fabulous Rubik cube, one of my all time favourite puzzles and a design classic.

  1. I can't win at those things. I figured out that I have to undo things I've matched together in order to match more things. That just doesn't seem fair! Even with my mistrust of Rubik's Cubes, I like the way you used all the patterns :)

  7. Love the patterned background! Your Rubix Cube reminded me of this awesome piece that was in the Art Prize competition in 2010 and was one of the 10 finalists: http://petefecteau.com/2011/04/15/dream-big/ So awesome!
