Jesse Lefkowitz

I found Jesse Lefkowitz through Tiny Showcase where his print “The Guide” is up for sale (there are still some left as of right now.) Love his retro style and great sense of color.

Emperor of Antartica

Designer/art director Christian Zander has one of those portfolios that make it practically impossible to choose what to showcase, because every piece is great. There isn’t a ton of information about each project, but it’s clear he has a specific…

Great Flickr Find

The other day I luckily stumbled upon the typographic goodness of wasianed’s Flickr stream. I’m especially loving this Berthold Type Foundry specimen from 1953. The colors and typography are amazing.

Michael Renaud

Cool album artwork for The Laureates There are no More Gentlemen album, by designer Michael Renaud. Also check out this amazing calendar design (found via Fly). His shop is set to open up this month, so maybe he’ll come out…

Get ’em While You Can

20 x 26 collects out-of-print Pantone by Letraset posters and resells them as pieces of art. There are still some great colors left; but move quickly, they won’t be around for long. (I was lucky enough to snatch up PMS…

TDC 2009

The winners of the Type Director’s Club’s annual competition have been announced. You can see the complete list of winners right here, but a couple of my favorites are below. Alda by Berton Hasebe Adios Script by Ale Paul

Royal/T

I came across Royal/T by way of (amazing photographer) Bonnie Tsang’s food blog and immediately loved the branding, which I later found out was created by Goto Design. Royal/T is part café, part shop, part exhibition space, inspired by the…

Candy 11

The latest issue of Candy Magazine—The For All Intents and Purposes Issue—is now available for download. And it’s got a brand spanking new look, thanks to designer Jamie Delaney.

Monster Type

Originally created by designer/illustrator Joey Ellis, these adorable little letterforms can all be downloaded as desktop wallpapers right here. And now, because of the overwhelming response to the illustrations, he has released the first in a series of paper craft…

Sarah Law

The organic, intricate and vibrant patterns of recent graduate Sarah Law are nothing short of amazing. Each piece is actually handdrawn with marker and then covered with a water-resistant coating. You can see more pieces of work on her blog,…

A Happy Inbox

I always enjoy the emails I get from Kate Spade, but this one is particularly fun (and makes me reaaallly wish it weren’t 25 degrees outside right now). They also currently have a video up on their homepage that plays…

Color Happy 26

In the January issue of Readymade, one feature asked five artists to reimagine the populist poster art of the Great Depression. This particular poster, designed by Mike Perry, can be downloaded (along with the others in the set) right here.

Jamie Delaney

I realize this is the second blue and red identity I’ve posted in one week, but I’m really loving the boldness of this system for Wigwam by Jamie Delaney. See more images right here.

Watercolor + Pattern

I’m not sure what search ended up leading me to BDorsa’s etsy shop, but it was a great find. She sells both artwork and jewelry, but I was most drawn to these vibrant watercolor paintings.

Type Love 35: Girard Slab

To commemorate the work of the legendary Alexander Girard, House Industries has recently launched a whole suite of typefaces, my favorite being the Girard Slab (below). Also take a look at the online exhibit, which features all kinds of Girard-inspired…

Marc Boutavant

Marc Boutavant is another artist I wish I had discovered sooner. All of the layering and character design very much reminds me of a modern version of the Richard Scarry books I used to read as a child. Boutavant’s own…
