He also created a short zine called Rankle Jones, which is based off an actual scam email that his friend forwarded to him. Click here to see what I’m talking about.

I’m really impressed by this kids niche in the poster scene. Bringing hand drawn illustrations to the poster scene requires great vision and dedication. His color choices are super fresh as well and his use of texture makes things really pop. Follow John, he’s prolific in his quality and output. John draws everything up and screen prints it all himself. Make sure to spend time at his SITE as well at his Etsy shop, I sure am.

Postcarden

Postcarden? Half postcard, half garden. Awesome. When I first came across these, I found out they are a company based in London and that buying one would be difficult because of seeds having to go through customs. Just recently they were added to a store called Brooklyn5and10 and they sell for $12.95. They have 3 designs: Botanical Garden, Green City, and Backyard Garden.

I’ve been in contact with Brooklyn5and10, so stay tuned for a chance to win one!

From Oct. 08 – Oct. 09 Andy drew a DUDE a day. Some are very familiar and capture some key persona’s. The Life Aquatic/O Brother ones are my personal favorites. See more of Andy’s work HERE

INVISIBLE CREATURE

NO THEFT — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:45:23 +0000

I’m always researching/gathering for inspirations. Lately I’ve been gathering more mixed media works, from textures, illustrated/photo combos, 3-d pieces. I don’t really use those theories in my work but when I see it done well I’m deff. engaged. I’ve been staring at these 3 record covers for the past while and today discoverd that they collectively are done by the same design firm! After looking at their blog I found more pieces of their work that I’ve previously put in my design likings. I wonder if they want another designer for their firm…winky wink ALSO these kids are Seatown LOCAL, gotta love the two-o-six scene!

Check out more of their giftedness HERE.

Mick Wiggins x John Steinbeck

Steinbeck is one of my favorite authors. I’ve read many of his books and am always ready to read the next one. My newest versions of his books have had their covers redesigned by an incredible illustrator Mick Wiggins. He has captured incredible imagery from the books, I’m always inspired by his covers. See more of his work HERE

I posted on this kid a while back for his cover work for the book “the island at the end of the world”. I just saw some of his newest work, and totally versatile and legit. I’m inspired! See more HERE again

No Theft

No Theft aka “50% of Le Grand Cru” aka Tommy is so damn talented. It wouldn’t be fair to NOT share his other works with you. Tommy, hope you don’t mind me doing this.

So besides playing in a band, designing for Le Grand Cru, and just being a friend to everyone, Tommy is building his portfolio and has been designing posters for other friends. Here are a few:

So if you need or know anyone that needs some work done, holler at my boy while he’s still affordable!
