Jesse LeDoux

In case you hadn't seen Jesse LeDoux's work in the Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial, his Grammy-nominated packaging for the Shins, or his designs in every Print Annual since 2000, prepare to spend some time drooling in awe here.

For Print Only

Fantastic brochure for a German Theater company using everything at their disposal on a limited budget, including offset printing, silkscreen and even spray paint. Via FPO.

Creations of Brotherly Love

Seattle designer/musician duo Don and Ryan Clark, aka Invisible Creature, are killing it lately, with their work being featured by the likes of Print magazine, Die Gestalten Verlag and Juxtapoz. And for good reason, as you can see from the work below. Stimulate the economy in their shop today.

A designer after my own aesthetic

Jesse Kaczmarek has a phenomenal body of work, spanning clients from Nike to Pepsi to Target, and I can see why. Because from identity to print to type, this guy's work is perfection.

He will not design green eggs and ham!

Sam Dallyn has a portfolio full of nice, simple, colorful work for print, identity and web. I especially like the playing cards below; simplicity for easy reading and non-traditional colors are combined for a fun result.

Take your vacation day now...

So you can devote proper time to checking out Vladimir Zimakov's illustration. Tons of stuff on this site worth checking out, the "Book of Sounds" and Prague drawings are my favorites. Several of us here will be buying prints, and you probably will too when you see them.

What is this "Handmade" you speak of??

Apparently, Mark Andrew Webber of Design You Trust cuts sections out of linoleum "by hand" (whatever that means) to create his maplike prints of various cities. They have a slightly Paula Scher thing going for them.

Glad to see someone still doing things the hard way.

And Now, More About Me

I'm always partial to any type of artwork that features any one of these three things:

1. Shoes. I know I have a problem and I don't care. My problem could be worse, I've never offered the guy in the local shoe store oral for a new pair of shell toes.

2. Hip hop. Especially old school. If you would skip a Coldplay concert to see De La Soul you know what I'm talking about.

3. Me. Try as I might to be impartial, when it comes to artwork, my ego is borderline Kanye. Others might tell you that's a problem, but I'm fine with it. I love me some ME!

I've never actually seen any artwork featuring me, but if I were to commission someone to do so, it would be UK Artist/Illustrator Russ Mills. So many illustrators have similar styles, but this guy is all his own. If anyone should have an inflated ego it should be Russ, check out the new prints in his store and his online gallery. This is how everyone should show their work...so fresh and so clean!
