A survey of design, art and style.

Holding It Up

Andrew Holder’s colorful and minimal illustration work is vibrant and wonderful. He’s done work for an array of clients including Sub Pop, Urban Outfitters and Dwell magazine. His illustrations employ a wonderful sense of rhythm and asymmetrical balance. Overall, we just love it.

Happy to be in Love

Happy Lovers Town is the moniker under which Italian illustrator, Jonathan Calugi, creates his masterful illustration pieces. Jonathan has what could be considered a classically, clean style of vector illustration. Each piece is assembled from a variety of smaller vector-based illustrations and elements that he assembles and collages together into repeating patterns. His work is engaging and makes us more than a little happy when we just sit and stare at it for awhile.


Alphabets in my Soup

Illustrated Letter S

Illustrated Letter M

Illustrated Letter X

I just came across this wonderful set of illustrations by Scott Templin. All 26 letters of the alphabet are illustrated as houses, and the detail of each one is wonderfully amazing. The look of each letter (as well as Scott’s site for that matter) remind me of a mix between Richard Scary and Mercer Mayer-two childhood illustration favorites. Scott recently released a book of his illustrative typography, which is heading onto our wish list for our personal library.
