Loving these simple and charming illustrated ads for Alka Seltzer Courtesy of Brainstorm9 a blog written in one of the truly impressive array of languages I can’t read enough of to even tell you which one it is. Oh wait…I see a British flag. Looks like you can read it in British if you want ;) It’s a literal translation which is actually kind of amusing to read.
okay, so pretty much everybody knows that that lilla rogers studios represents some amazing illustrators. but did you know that now you can buy cards by those fantastic illustrators in the lilla rogers cardshop? so much fun!
Ryan Bubnis draws on fingerprints.
Or at least they look like fingerprints to me. But whatever they are, they’re pretty sweet. His site has a bunch of other stuff that is pretty cool too (including many more fingerprint-esque people). Check it.
(thanks andrew for the tip)
I decided I’d submit a shirt design for threadless loves drawing competition. The basic premise was to create a tee based on an original drawing, so I took some of my post-it notes and made a fall inspired critter tee. If you like it, how about giving it some love?
i love the work of ny-based illustrator paulina reyes. i just adore the whimsy in her work and the fresh, preppy color palette. it probably goes without saying that ms. reyes currently works at kate spade.
And the situation has escalated.
Droppin' David Lance Goines on Ya'll
As most of you know I’m not one to name drop. Not because I don’t want people to think I’m cool but because I have a tragic name forgetfulness handicap. However, one name I can’t forget to mention (especially since so many of us love posters as a creative medium) is my good friend David Lance Goines who lives in the center of the civilized world (aka Berkeley, Ca.) and has been creating fabulous posters for about as long as you might expect it would take him to become the erudite fellow he is. You may be familiar with his design for Ravens Wood Winery. The poster for Carducci and Herman Landscape Architects is a favorite of mine and one of my prized possessions. Check out his site, find your own favorites and click on poster thumbnails to see enlargements and lots of great background information. Some of them are even available for purchase.
