The golden boy of the moment, Barcelonian typographer, illustrator and graphic designer Alex Trochut has updated with several new works and an entirely new website. It’s time for an old-fashioned design nerdout and I would expect this news to sweep the creative blogosphere like wildfire this week. He’s been busy since his last update and he isn’t afraid to experiment.

Portuguese designer and typographer André Beato is currently based in London where he concentrates most of his efforts on vector art that has yielded some fun results, specifically in the area of typography.

The illustrator living in the lower Haight going by the name ‘Skinny Ships’ has updated his Flickr-folio as of yesterday with some new and extremely fun to look at typography. You gotta love his style. This most recent example is a really interesting mashup of cut and past style type with modernism. It’s an unusual mix but it’s working very well.
Hand-drawing typographer Jon Contino has stayed at the top of his form lately updating frequently with new and better examples of his uniquely individual touch. There is a little something for everyone in his portfolio and whether your a fan of hand crafted type or not it’s impossible not to appreciate his talent.

This Fall Nando Costa visited Chile to speak at a design conference called Sudala. For the event, he created a custom typography piece. He captured the creation of the work recording his screen. The recording was later played at the event. The illustration was made with no prior planning and really illustrates just how talented Costa is. We were watching it this afternoon in our studio and were once again impressed by Costa’s genuine talent.
If you have been curious lately who has been responsible for those crispy clean movie posters with the moody desaturated imagery then you can look no further as they are the work of talented designer Neil Kellerhouse.

It’s been a long time since I wrote about the work of illustrator/designer Daniel J Diggle and he has been working on a stippling pen and ink technique to produce some remarkably detailed typographical illustrations. You can view his work either view his Behance-folio, his personal website or via his Flickr-folio.
Graphic designer Erik Carter sent his clean portfolio of work in for us to look at a week or two back. It’s a simple body of work but manages a considered aesthetic that bodes well for future projects. The black and white is quite striking and I personally dig the work for Staple.
