Design and press studio enormouschampion has this great letterpressed cassette tape design on one of their cards. It has a handy space at the top of the tape to write your message, as if you were writing in the songs on the mix tape. The above photo is by Kristina Contes and shows a little [...]
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 [...]
I just thought this was a very funny and appropriate way to test out your new letterpress machine. Those true nerds out there (which I’m guessing is a good proportion of my visitors) will understand, others can learn the significance here. I love the meshing of old world and new world.
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 [...]

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.
Netherland Art has created some pretty groovy art pieces using collage materials, acrylics, and resin on a wood surface. I love when art is done on a nice slab of grainy wood, and he really knows how to work that 70′s rainbow.
I had a chance to fly a kite with my future wife this weekend and it was such a fun memory to make with her. I just noticed that Lab Partners is giving away a whole set of kite themed Gocco prints (click the link for details). All you have to do to enter is [...]
I found some nice design work by Richard Perez. Looks like his site is under construction for now, but you can view his stuff on his Flickr account for now. I really love the way he experiments with shapes and colors.
