Adorable Little Elements

Fe - Iron Atomic # 26 Iron composes much of the earth's crust and has played such an important part in our lives.

Sebastian Arguello of SOGA Design Collective has an ongoing project called myelementals, in which he illustrates elements as cute little anthropomorphic figures. Above is iron, of course.

And this little guy is phosphorus.

P - Phosphorus Atomic # 20 Phosphorus is a very nasty little sucker. It's so easy to spark his temper that they put a little bit on a tip of a thin stick to help you light the BBQ. #phosphorus #p #periodictableofelements #watercolor #vector #science #spark #matches #nonmetal #chemistry #characterdesign #myelementals

There are twelve elementals so far at Instagram, plus a video on H20. There's also a three-video animated story of what inspired the project, which shows us how Instagram is becoming a blogging platform. See even more designs at Arguello's work gallery. -via Laughing Squid
