Funny. Still laughing hours later. Coby Shultz strikes again with another brilliant t-shirt design for Ames Bros.
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.
So funny. So brilliant. Glennz site is worth the time and the calendar builder is great.
Its also worth browsing the concept section on his Behance profile. via abuzeedo
You have to dig deep to find good work on the web. Jon Keegans work is a good example of amazing work combined with good content on the site. these sketchbook pages are great insight into the artists process.

Just funny. Nothing more.
I don't own an iPhone. I'm not that hip. If I could own one I probably would but out here in the sticks of MT it is not an available service yet. At any rate, I have been avoiding publishing back to the this blog (abduzeedo) partially because of the plethora of slick photoshoppy iPhone screen saver tutorials but after this interview about the legendary star wars poster illustrator I couldn't resist any more. It's very inspirational for any aspiring illustrator.
A project started by the founder of the Little Chimp Society. It displays works by artists from around the world sent in by mail. This is another entry included in our GD Books section of the blog, an additional site dedicated exclusively to the review of design books.
These are so simple, funny and brilliant. While researching graphic novels I came across this group of images from francophone comic creator Obomsawin for the animated film Here & There. A description of one of Obosawins books on amazon reads "In a minimalist style like (but even simpler than)".
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.
Recent inspiration for a video we are illustrating. "Putumayo's CD covers feature the distinctive art of Nicola Heindl, whose colorful, folkloric style represents one of Putumayo's goals: to connect the traditional to the contemporary. By combining appealing music and visuals with creative retail marketing, Putumayo has developed a unique brand identity - a rarity in today's artist-based music industry."
Nicola has painted more than 100 colorful album covers for Putumayo World Music.

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.
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 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.
