I thought I would let you guys know that, as I’m writing this, I’m getting ready for my trip to New York City tomorrow morning. What does this have to do with you, you ask? Well, I probably won’t be posting anything on here from July 25th to July 31st – unless the 11 hour-long [...]

Tim Lahan is a New York-based illustrator with a knack for grabbing attention. Although simple, his work has bold personality. The use of bright, attention-grabbing florescent colors and memorable face-covering, tattoo-esque doodles, keep you in a slight state of shock as if you were taking a stroll through a freak show. Tim has a varied [...]

I woke up this morning to find this lovely package from e.5.charlie sitting on my doorstep. Although I knew I would be receiving something from them – as they contacted me last week with a generous offer to send me some free gear – I wasn’t exactly sure what I would find inside. Before even [...]

American designer and artist, Nick Tassone, reminds me a little bit of myself. He enjoys working with different styles and techniques and is always trying something new with his work. By no means is his work complicated in any way, but his style seems to come off naturally and unforced. Despite me only posting his [...]

Erin Gilkes is an American artist with a talent in photography, drawing and even needlework! She shoots with 35mm film which I suspect is either expired or shot through a camera without any mechanics – in other words, a pinhole-like camera. Her washed-out colors and spontaneously framed shots make for interesting photographs with a real [...]

OFFF is a yearly Barcelonian festival that showcases an immense amount of quality work from a multitude of mediums. From digital art, web, print and interactive design to motion graphics and even music! Although the 2009 festival took place in the beginning of May, their main titles video was too brilliant for me not to [...]

Nina Chakrabarti is an Indian-born illustrator based out of London, England. A majority of her work is typography or pattern/floral based, but she still manages to pull off the occasional figurative or psychedelic line-based work. The series below was made exclusively for the free – minus shipping and handling – print magazine, I Want You. [...]
