Strange and multitalented. Ruka Noguchi is an illustrator and media artist from Japan.

I am thoroughly loving Robert Samuel Hanson’s work. His illustration style of satisfyingly graphic! If men could have babies Mr. Hanson and Mr. Burrill would make a beautiful creature indeed.

For our fabulous friends at Form Fifty Five.

Where can I get myself a PearBook?

Fun and brilliant are two words that thoroughly describe the work of Johnny Kelly. His video on procrastination, truth. Check it out. Here as well.

A young and ambitious SVA grad, Panayiotis Terzis weaves psychadelic  journeys into nether worlds only he knows. Having lived in Providence for four years in the aftermath of Fort Thunder, I am instinctually suspicious of work like Terzais’. Yet, there is an added polish and possible drawing from deeper narratives that compels me. I am interested to see what else comes from the young artist.

Mr. Zawada caught some major internet buzz when he art directed this cute little video (Softlies – Heart Made of Sound). But his portfolio has a much wider breath. Doing some fantastic work for Aussies like the Presets, Modular, and the Frenchies Sixpack. The man has the kangaroos on lock down.

Fun, cheeky, a bit racy, and smart graphic design from recent Prattster Alex Witjas. I am thoroughly excited by the work coming out of there. Keep it up brave young ones!

A peculiar name for a peculiar man. Matthew’s illustration style is quirky, light-hearted, and down right fun. At first, I did not believe this young man was from the British Isles, but then I thought of my old pal Roald and smirked.

Ms. Thompson pleasantly reminds me that I own a pair of scissors and a untended stack of old magazines. Cutup culture is alive over at Michelle’s studio.

A dear friend at Paperwhite turned me on to the plain beauty of Rachel Bone. I had sort of forgotten about the whole Marcel Dzama aesthetic, but this warm reminder. Not to say that Bone isn’t doing her own thing. The simplicity in her work serves an important purpose to her subjects.

Our very own Sarah Knotz has revamped her portfolio! Her new site reflects the new directions she’s taken, transitioning from strict graphic design into illustration. You can still feel her design sensibilities in the beautiful details sprinkled throughout the site, (I’m especially enjoying the numbers and titles.) Get in touch with this gal for any graphic arts needs!
