Minneapolis-based designer David Schwen who is known for his amazing Pantone food pairings has now produced a quirky and whimsical camel-themed photo series called 'Camelflage.'
It's no surprise that he would choose such a unconventional topic, as he is well known for his creative and fun design projects. He's a well-known Instagrammer with his own personal style. His series plays off the word 'camouflage.' He paints a toy camel to match different backgrounds so the camel will blend in. His backgrounds vary from grainy wooden surfaces to a bright cherry print. This camel would do well in the army as its ability to seamlessly merge with the backgrounds is delightfully astounding.
