Recent graduate Valerie Jar has a great portfolio taking shape. I love the colors used in her illustrations and handmade items, and her graphic design is very clean and professional. You can buy those owl pillows and more of her work at her Etsy shop.
Sam Peet has a great collage illustration style going with this book entitled I had the strangest dream. The layering and texture make for a very surreal little environment. It’s sad that his portfolio is so small right now, hopefully he’ll add more soon.
I loved this photo of wispy toy sheep surround by luscious bokeh and I had to share it here. It’s in square format, but the original resolution is high enough that you can easily crop it to wallpaper size if you know how. See more by the photographer, MummaLu.
I loved the highly detailed illustration in this gig poster for a Dosh show. It features whimsical looking type design and great colors. The artwork was done by Ian Ferguson of hydEONart.com. As a side note, Dosh’s music is great if you like eclectic atmospheric percussive songs.

I thought this little bird was cute and I like the minimal type above it that just says “hi.”. It was made by Wendy, of dozi design, which is a shop full of nice colors and patterns letterpressed onto paper goods. There’s a also a dozi design blog that chronicles her new work and the [...]
Max Erdengerger has designed a really nice looking set of posters to promote environmentalism. The profit he makes from selling the posters will be used in some way to offset the carbon emissions from resulting from moving his family across the country. I love the simple compositions and the graphic illustration style. You can buy [...]
Digital artist and graphic designer “greysheepduo” is putting out some interesting and quality design work. The incredible part is that it appears that he’s still in high school! I can’t wait to see what he comes up with in the future. Check out his design collection on Flickr.
Pedro Lucena creates some beautiful line drawings full of intricate detail and patterns. Be sure to click on the tree image above to see a larger version for the full detail, it’s worth it. Check out his sets on Flickr for more work.
