Letterpress goodness
I found these letterpress goodies on the Studio on Fire blog Beast Pieces (found via Krisatomic's tumbler). there is some awesome stuff on here that will make your eyes water over the beautiful impressions in think cushiony paper. YUM. The top business card for Studio 150 was designed by Evan Nagan. Studio 150 reinvent their identity every 150 days! Middle wedding invite was designed by the groom himself Scott Peiffer. And Last is a promo piece designed by Studio on Fire. I love the barely visible yetis in the background.

Séverin Millet
These illustrations by Séverin Millet are incredible!
With my extremely limited french speaking skills... parlez-vous anglais? I've just realised some of his illustrations in his gallery section are available for purchase by contacting him directly... YEAH! You must check out the books he's illustrated and the editorial work he's created for numerous newspapers and press, and while you're at it, you should check out his blog too.
NICE.

Brian Rea
This is the work of Los Angeles based artist and illustrator Brian Rea.
I am quite envious of his list making abilities, which you can see here. He also illustrated the book 'Drunk: The Definitive Drinker's Dictionary' by Paul Dickson, which includes more than 3000 synonyms for 'drunk'. The first image is one of his drawings from the book.

Harvest
The new Harvest winter 2010 is out now and features a cover by the great Dawn Tan and includes stories, non-fiction and interviews.
I was commissioned to illustrate the poetry section curated by the VERY talented (and our next door neighbour) Josephine Rowe.
The poetry focus was on Nandi Chinna, whose poems of horses rushing into the sea, micro organisms and nature evoked the theme of flotsam and jetsam, of tiny things you find washed up on the beach; bones, feathers and seaweed.
I also did the Literopoly game board (A literary version of Monopoly).
You can buy Harvest at Borders, Readings and Magnation.

New Things
bottom images by Nobrow
I recently purchased some products by two artists who I respect immensely; the concertina artist book by Micah Lidberg from Nobrow and the lion brooch by Verity Keniger from her Etsy shop. I cannot stress how beautiful these both are and that they make me sooo happy just to stare at them (I better stop doing that and get back to work). Next I want to buy Verity's lion print, I need a bit of bright yellow colour, here in melbourne, its so grey and wintery.
The Morae River
The Morae River Project is the fantastical work of Brynn Metheney, an Oakland-based freelance illustrator.
Brynn has created the incredibly detailed and ever evolving, fictional Morae River along with it's inhabitants. She classifies each flora and fauna species to give the reader/viewer a true representation of the world she's created.
Quite amazing really.
p.s. If you haven't already done so, please vote for Eirian's design for the Kit Design Awards 2010! Yippee!
