Illustrator Daniel Stolle was born in Germany and graduated with a degree in design in 2006. He currently lives and works in Finland. His balanced compositions utilize a raw and simple style that quickly communicates.
Lesley Moore was founded by Karin van den Brandt and Alex Clay in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I am curious how they generated the letterforms in the above ‘Void’ poster.

Designer/illustrator Steven Burke has updated since I last posted about him with some new and very cool work. I love the t-shirts and skateboard design above for Ambiguous.
A very talented and ambitious designer from Baltimore, Jessica Lynn White has a wide variety of experimental work in her portfolio, ranging from interior design to print graphics. Jessica seems to have developed an intriguing style of her own, and has already spent a lot of quality time polishing her skills under the guidance of renowned designer, Jonathan Adler! Working alongside Jessica, I can attest to her abilities and am very excited to see where her inventive personality takes her!
Aside from having a really kick ass name, Seldon Hunt is also responsible for a large and voluminous catalog of kick ass art, design and illustration work for kick ass bands.
Joel Evey got in touch to inform me that he has launched a new website and it is full of really great work. He takes a really artistic approach to his layouts and doesn’t shy away from negative space. His new work looks great. Joel currently works for Nixon Watches and they should count themselves lucky to have him.
Woods and Weather is the work of Erik, a 22 year old designer currently living and working in Minneapolis, Minnes(long-ohh)ta.
He has some really nice print work in his portfolio.
Canadian designer Paul Sych A.K.A. Faith utilizes lyrical typographical elements to create a unique interplay with photography.
About Faith:
“For over 2 decades, Paul Sych has been exploring and practicing many of the parallels between art and music. After completing his studies from both York University’s prestigious Jazz Program and from the Ontario College Of Art & Design, Paul founded his multi-disciplinary design studio Faith, in 1989. Paul has consistently offered new methods of expression by using custom typography as a catalyst within his work and has challenged both clients and peers alike to enter his world of unique and flamboyant use of type and imagery. In addition to being commissioned by legendary designers, art directors, educators and forums on typography internationally, his work has been widely exhibited and published globally. Paul continues to explore visual and typographic works in print, branding, public art, motion graphics and broadcast design. Recently, Paul has focused his interests in teaching, lecturing, conducting workshops and personal critiques to both students and colleagues alike in a effort to begin a new dialogue on typography and design methods.”

Marta Cerda Alimbau has updated with some nice vector type as image illustrations. I see a slight hint of a Trochut influence but maybe that is from doing a stint at Vasava. Don’t get to click-happy on the site though, it’s pretty easy to break.
Brazilian Art Director/designer Danilo Rodrigues has updated with a new site full of fresh and interesting work.
Studio Anti has updated with a really stunning new project. They have produced some really beautiful work if you are unfamiliar.

3rd year Falmouth design student Gareth Horner has some really great work in his portfolio already. Everyone loves big circles.
