The title says it all. so true and funny. but i guess if you discovered all of this before leaving school the magic of the discovery might be lost.

Someone gave us a small book called The Great Chicken Escape by Nikki McClure for Christmas and it was one of the most brilliant, simple, visual stories i have seen in years. Her work is beautiful and can be purchased at BuyOlympia.com.
From her site: Nikki McClure of Olympia, Washington is known for her painstakingly intricate and beautiful paper cuts. Armed with an X-acto knife, she cuts out her images from a single sheet of paper and creates a bold language that translates the complex poetry of motherhood, nature, and activism into a simple and endearing picture.
I came across the Wee Gallery booth and Dave Pinto while working a booth right across the aisle at the Kids & Baby Expo in Vegas last week. Dave and his wife have created amazing gifts for newborns based on his wifes artwork. Our kids have already used the coloring book, little tattoos and flashcards and love them- thanks Dave!

Truly American illustrations by Adam Hanyes. Funny wtih brilliant concepts and an amazingly simple style. His portfolio on Behance is worth the time, the details in the painting are so well placed.
Some kind of genius. this is a great site. its not easy to create a promotional site that is interesting for multiple parties to navigate and offers good content. The sketchbook gallery is always a nice touch on an artists site because you can see directly into the heart of their work.
Thanks to Richard Binder of Richard's Pens for displaying this painting on his gallery page. It was done with a Pelikan M200 fountain pen with a specialty nib that Richard ground to an extra fine point.
Stay alive out there, he says on his profile. The artwork of Luke Ramsey featured on his blog Bits and Bobs.
The 2009 Dirtbag Ball poster is available for purchase online at bootlegenterrpise.com. It is 11 x 16 and printed on a digital press. The font, Quadaptor, is provided by Ray Larabie of typodermic.com. Thanks again Ray for another amazing, adaptable font.
This poster has multiple meanings. If you are a Brigder Bowl skiir you can appreciate the Change given the expansion of the ski area that people have been waiting for for years. If you are not, you may appreciate it as a solid knockoff of Shepard Fairey's now famous Obama poster.
Now available online, 2009 Calendars of my paintings. We originally sent these out as gifts to Bootlegs test market group, as a thank you for years of harassment we inflicted on them. They were printed on a digital press and spiral bound. You can view the first few months on hillerhigman.com.
This is officially inspiring. and just fun to watch.
APAK. "They are a childlike husband and wife collaborative art group who live among the fury conifer giants in a little cottage on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon." Always great work that never ceases to amaze.
This one was just enough to wake me up again visually. it comes from the Global Graphica: Street Art site, under stencils. time and again I return to this site, despite the blinking ads.
This site has a great view into this artists process that you rarely see. A work from start to finish and in its application. Harmen is a graphic designer, printmaker and occasional journalist based in Amsterdam.
Plenty to look at by an outstanding designer. There are some book designs and illustrations here that have an eye for detail you don't see often. Craig Mod

Marco Ventura's illustrations are amazing to see in print. The details of the brush work on a 5 x 8 image space are fantastic. I saw his work in a recent copy of 3 x 3 Mag. Great political satire that is appropriate for the times.
I've posted some new drawings in progress on HillerHigman.com. These were all completed using a new Pelikan M200 fountain pen with an XXXF specialty nib ground by Richard Binder.
