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.

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.

dirtbag09_sm

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.
