The talented Matt Burvill has made a seizure-inducing update to his website ‘House of Burvo‘. It appears he is now focusing his energy more on converting his site into a font foundry since as he explains on his site, that was his first love.

Bibliotheque Design updates their site and fills it with some really nice graphic design work. I have to be honest, I really am not digging the actual site itself but their work is great.
There is some really tasty hand-drawn lettering in the portfolio of Jon Contino.
You could literally spend a couple hours looking through the work of Post Typography and every minute would yield some sort of inspiration. Their work is just that good.
About Post Typography:
“Originally conceived in 2001 as an avant garde anti-design movement by Nolen Strals and Bruce Willen, Post Typography specializes in graphic design, conceptual typography, and custom lettering/illustration with additional forays into art, apparel, music, curatorial work, design theory, and vandalism. Their work has received numerous fancy design awards and has been featured in such publications as Ellen Lupton’s Thinking With Type and D.I.Y.: Design It Yourself, The Art of Modern Rock, Metropolis magazine, Taschen’s Contemporary Graphic Design, and Phaidon’s Area 2. Post Typography have appeared in numerous design and art exhibitions, and their posters are collected by high school punk rockers and prominent designers (whom they consider equally important). Strals and Willen currently teach classes in design and typography at the Maryland Institute College of Art, and have lectured at the Cooper Union, Minneapolis College of Art & Design, and Harvard University among others.”
Wow. Stumbling upon the work of Johan Prag was far and away the most inspiring thing I discovered all day and probably so far in the last several weeks. All of the work on Prag’s site is absolutely amazing. Sensational work.
