Illustrator Lehel Kovacs occasionally makes some really nice typographic illustrations based on Yahoo headlines of the day. You can purchase some prints of those, along with other fantastic illustrations at his shop. If you want to follow his progress, he also maintains a blog.

Dolce Press printed this letterpress business card that looks to be inspired by old wood type posters. It was designed by the client, Suodsey Penn, who has a pretty nice gallery of her work online. I especially like this poster by her:

Designer Mark Chapman just posted a little teaser shot of a really nice typeface that he is working on called Full Circle. The dots are supposed to represent where the point of the compass would be if it was drawn by hand. I just love the proportions, it’s dignified yet futuristic. Can’t [...]

Lori Hutchinson is making some really fresh paintings. They have great texture, and I always love some ethereal oddness in paintings.

These watercolor based graphics by Karen Kurycki made me smile instantly. I love the way she uses loosely dropped watercolor to give it some organic texture, but the careful layouts of the paint keep the designs graphic in nature. Of course the wit helps with the smile factor. There’s a definite DADA influence [...]

I’m enamored with this proposed poster design for a film festival done by Horatio Lorente. I like it even better than the version that got printed, but the printed version is pretty good as well. Check out more of his design work in his Flickr set (I personally prefer that to navigating his [...]

I’m so excited for my favorite season of the year, and this reusable canvas bag featuring a typographic design of autumn foods got me even more in the mood. It was designed by Shaz Madani (click on “Taste the Seasons to see more) and the idea was to encourage grocery shoppers to buy foods [...]

Illustrator Sarah Watts posted her latest illustration, entitled Memory, on her blog and it’s probably my favorite so far. That tire swing and spooky looking house are perfect and I love the lines in the hair.
