Cristiana Couciero has a unique style of graphic art that she posts to her blog. She creates digital collages, but the graphics she appropriates are taken from mid-century modern designs and her compositions feel minimal and structured yet layered and abstract. It’s a very distinctive style and I love seeing things in them like the [...]

Designer Kent Henderson had insomnia one night and decided to scan in this wonderful book entitled Examples of Modern Alphabets, Ornamental and Plain from 1864!

One of my graphic design classmates just created a fantastic typographic t-shirt design based on Obama’s victory speech.

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 wait until the [...]
Lori Hutchinson is making some really fresh paintings. They have great texture, and I always love some ethereal oddness in paintings. I particularly liked the one called Umbrella Weather, but the one I posted above was just so bold, unique and well executed, that I had to feature it. It’s called Hanging Like a Star [...]
Our school has brought in a fantastic visiting artist in printmaker Koichi Yamamoto. I had to look him up as soon as I got home from seeing his work and I found that wonderful website with a ton of nice sized images of his work (I recommend the monotype galleries in particular). I love seeing [...]
