Australian designer/illustrator/artist Zoran Nova has some excellent pop-inspired graphite drawings in his portfolio that are expertly rendered. We dig it.
Comments Off on Jan-Kristof LippGraphic Design
“Jan-Kristof Lipp. Born in 1984, student at University of the Arts (UdK) Berlin, class Prof. Fons Hickmann, former Creative-Director for creative services for the germany-based publishing-house Gestalten, Ultra-Beauty-Operator for the De:BugMagazine and the good visual soul for the young musiclabels WHITE and Aim, Jan bounces back and forth somewhere between chaos theory and visual multi-disciplinary masterplan.
Jan works within a strong network of designers, developers, writers, journalists, musicians, djs and all kinds of good people in creative services.”
Ah to be young and talented.
Comments Off on DiestroMotion Graphics
Barcelona based motion design and 3D studio Diestro are laying the foundation early to become a juggernaut. They already have some air tight network branding and animated 3D work under their belts. Best to keep an eye on them. Make sure to visit their website to check out more of their work in greater detail.

Comments Off on Bijan Berahimi: UpdatesGraphic Design
Bijan Berahimi recently updated with some tasty new print work. He was kind enough to send us a little mailer last year that we really liked. He has an interesting perspective when it comes to us use of type, color and layout. We dig it.
Comments Off on Dave MacDowell: UpdatesArt
It’s been a little while since I dropped in on pop culture, psychedelic painter extraordinaire Dave MacDowell and I am glad I did because he has since posted some new works to his Flickrfolio for the Thinkspace Gallery that are fantastic.
Comments Off on Savvy StudioGraphic Design
Mexican design studio Savvy is churning out some closely considered branding work. They list capabilities in Marketing, Communication, Graphic Design, Industrial Design and Architecture truly lending credence to the term ‘multi-disciplinary’.
Comments Off on Beast PiecesGraphic Design
If you are a letterpress fan (and we are) then you will admire the work of Minneapolis based letterpress studio Beast Pieces. They are consistently cranking out some gorgeous work for clients all over the map and their name is spreading far and wide because of it.
Comments Off on Right Here All OverPolitics
The mainstream media has in many ways chosen to ignore the rising ‘Occupy’ movement which is now spreading virally across the U.S. Political pundits are already murmuring the sound byte ‘American Autumn’ after the ‘Arab Spring’. Here in Denver the Governor is currently at a loss as to how to deal with the protesters now camped out in front of the state capital.
In response to the lack of coverage one amateur filmmaker decided to shoot his own video at the source of the movement.

Comments Off on James MurphyIllustration
James Murphy throws a little sex, cartoons, satanism and a dash of colorful pop into his cauldron and churns out some fun imagery that would make for a nice screen print or two.
Comments Off on Linda BesemerArt
The ‘paintings’ or rather sculptural paintings of Linda Besemer mind bend your mind a little in the way that they merge dimensionality, form and color all seamlessly into one piece that when viewed from multiple angles has an even more psychedelic effect on the viewer. Her work is currently on display at Galerie Richard in Paris.
Comments Off on Follow the SunAnimation
I missed this little diddy by MK12 for FITC. It’s pretty amazing if you visit the little micro-site for the piece and watch the making of and realize that they cell animated the piece. I am always impressed and amazed by motion shops that turn the key from 3d and After Effects into full on cell animation. It’s not an easy thing to do and MK12 did it in style.

Comments Off on Ash ThorpMotion Graphics
Ash Thorp has developed a wealth of visuals while working for Prologue Films and has managed to amass the kind of portfolio that will have many frothing at the mouths, both out of jealously over his insane talent and the kind of top billing projects he has managed to work on. Dig into his portfolio and prepare to be inspired.
Comments Off on Mr. HippIllustration
Dan Hipp draws a lot and in doing so has managed to develop a style all his own. That style has landed on the pages of EAL SIMPLE, WIRED, DC Comics, Image Comics, Random House, and several other major publishers. It’s bright, it’s colorful and it’s a ton of fun often drawing on highly likable pop culture references. Oh and his portfolio is updated frequently.
Comments Off on Miles Donovan: UpdatesIllustration
There is some nice new updates to the portfolio of illustrator Miles Donovan. I really dig his style. It’s simple and it’s definitely Photoshop but it somehow manages to avoid the pitfalls of appearing over digital and still feels very ‘printerly’.
Comments Off on Tang Yau HoongIllustration
Illustrator Tang Yau Hoong has a pretty nifty little shop of prints to choose from. Some of them are very conceptual, they are all different and there are a few gems to be plucked.
