For years now email inboxes have been bombarded with suggestive writing, pictures of blue and yellow pills and saucy images. In the last week a new crunchy image with foul colours and naive renders have appeared in emails to tempt the masses with the joys of new function. The new yuck aesthetic takes Viagra marketing into a look that alt pop icon Beck, or indie dance act Boredoms would commission for their latest music release.

Melbourne based design and image maker Luke Matthews also has a wonderful grasp of the land of good yuck. Luke’s extraordinary images push the bounds of colour, image, and type to create fused images that look like they have gone through the crunchy jpg filter, to be then rained on and left in the sun for a few days.

Check out Luke’s work here.
