Lillian Piri by Lost At E Minor
Those of you looking to kick-start your private collection of young Australian artists should look no further than Brisbane-based painter and illustrator Lillian Piri. She works on a commission basis and has quickly earned a number of prominent placements for her work including last year’s Semi-Permanent London book. Her work is distinctive for its quirky take on common themes. It’s quite beautiful and serene with the storybook imagery playing off expressions of hope and discovery. And it’s all delivered with a minimalist colour palette, similar in its execution to the work of New York-based fellow Australian, Edwina White.
More images after the jump.

Anthony Newman: Dangerous Diary
Australian photographer and designer Anthony Newman has been exploring collage art with his latest series of works: "Originally started from a few mixed media paintings, the Dangerous Diary was born out of my need to explore collage. I was also really taken by the fact that new artwork could be created by found, and usually discarded, objects in my environment—bill posters, flyers, stuff left...

Mike Perry
One of the hardest working typographers we know, Mike Perry is currently working on his second book. Check out the Brooklyn-based designer's first book, "Hand Job: A Catalog of Type," which is a great collection of hand-drawn type out out by Princeton Architectural press. It's hard to look at this site and not be motivated to get working too!...

The International Illustrated
The International Illustrated, a magazine made up of unique original art created around a rather loose central theme, just released their third issue. The brainchild of two Brazilian designers, Julio and Vitor, the duo carefully select contributing artists based on their portfolios. After accepting an invitation to participate, artists receive a "label" (the theme of the issue) ranging from "Do What You Want and...

Luke Feldman: The Whimsical World of Skaffs
Australian artist Luke Feldman's exhibition of visual and audio artworks, "The Whimsical World of Skaffs," opens at Seattle's Bluebottle Art Gallery today, 2 October 2007 and runs through 30 October 2007. Combining visual works with atmospheric music (also composed by Feldman), the world of Skaffs is an AV experience, evidently. With illustrations composed of simple bold lines, vibrant colors give Feldman's compositions movement and...

Tin&Ed
Melbourne illustrators, designers and men-about-town Tin&Ed are known and loved for many things. Their lost-in-a-forest illustrations, their science-meets-whimsy line-based art, their collages, their photographs, their escapades and their generally unexpected solutions to design problems. Tin&Ed's work is great, probably because they strive to find the best answer to each design challenge rather than aiming for a distinct studio style. Their recent work for Crumpler...
