Bladerunner Storyboards
Check out these amazing storyboards from the Ridley Scott’s Sci-fi classic Blade Runner. The film was marked a dramatic change in our understanding of history, and film.
Bring the heat
I really love these illustrations done for Converse and Project Red by Nigel Even Dennis. They’re lively and organic. The imagery packs a lot of punch. Be sure to check out the rest of his work. Good clients, good work. The line between commerce and art is a little blurrier.
The Analog Hotness
You’ll see a lot of digitally rendered work on this site that never utilized a pencil or a piece of paper. Ben Backhouse brings a really authentic organic feel to his illustrations. They are pointedly poignant. I don’t know anything about him, but his work is a really quite good.

Hello? Color?
Check out Pawel Nolbert. You thought the only good thing to come out of Poland was the sausage. A little colorful eye candy illustration for your memorial day viewing.
The finest illustrator alive today is…
I can’t seem to get too far from brazil. My absolute favorite illustrator Adhemas Batista just updated his website with some new work. Nobody paints on top of photography better than Adhemas. These are full on illustrations. He doesn’t skimp on the color. If you’re looking for subtle, look elsewhere because these illustrations are luxurious.
The illustrious ISO50
The one and only Scott Hansen. He’s a rockstar in the illustrating world, and a bit of a rockstar in the rockstar world (He’s the recording artist Tycho). I like Scott Hansen because his rock posters don’t use any clip art and they don’t use any non-sequitur imagery. Don’t get me wrong, I love today’s trend in rock posters, but ISO 50 is a breath of fresh air in the over-saturated poster design scene.
I’m buying a man thong and moving to Rio.
I love Brazil. The last two posts led me to Brazil Inspired, a cool website featuring brazilian designers. Who is the first poster on their newsfeed? Misprintedtype (from two posts ago). I follow the link. I find Felipe Guga. He doesn’t have a lot of info on his site. I don’t know anything about him. I do know - kid can draw. I mean - kid can seriously draw.
Misprinted Type
I can’t say enough good things about Mr. Brazil Eduardo Recife. His fonts have practically defined the last few years. You’ve seen Porcelain and Selfish all over, I think Old Navy used Rosewood. Download the entire set at his website. While you’re at it, download his Photoshop brushes as well. They put something in the water down there, cause the Brazilians got it going on. See it at MisprintedType.com
Mike Perry : UBERsweet
I’ve been a big fan Mike Perry for longer than I’ve known who he was. Organic aesthetic is really hard to pull off without looking cheap. His client list should be the envy of any designer. MTV, Dwell Magazine, Saatchi & Saatchi, Nylon Mag, Polyvinyl records. He’s got a new book coming out called Hand Job, a catalogue of hand drawn typography which I’m itching to get my hands on.
Surface View
Surface View is a super cool little company out of england. They make bespoke wall murals. Pick your print, and send them the dimensions of your wall, and they send you your mural. There’s a bunch of retro-eque images. Think sunset wallpaper, but awesome. The website is also pretty cool, if a bit jarring. Nice use of liquid flash layout.
