John Austin: Prank University by Evan Orensten

prankuniversity.jpg

John Austin is a 27 year old toy designer and self-proclaimed master in the tradition of the college prank. So much so that he's written a book called Prank University: The Ultimate Guide to College's Greatest Tradition to share his favorite tricks.

The site and book are well designed and feature great illustrations of the pranks, which are ranked by difficulty and have step-by-step instructions for optimal results.

Hey Ami, have fun in London at the Design Festival. We're not bitter that you drew the lucky straw. Really. We'll take good care of your desk while you're gone...

Prank University is available at the book's site and from Amazon.

Illustrator (and Musician) Mr. Bingo
by Kori SchulmanThe work of Mr. Bingo is what you might expect from an artist with that name—self-described as “neat, well observed and silly." He likes to keep things on the lighter side and finds motivation in making people laugh. When I first came across his popular hair portrait screened on a white t-shirt, I did smile—I even cracked up at points upon seeing his...
All the Wrong People Have Self-Esteem: An Inappropriate Book for Young Ladies or, Frankly, Anybody Else
"All the Wrong People Have Self-Esteem: An Inappropriate Book for Young Ladies or, Frankly, Anybody Else” is the title of illustrator and author Laurie Rosenwald’s latest book and perhaps one of the best titles ever. (We wonder, has it been optioned?) Laurie is generally known for her “hand-made-like” illustrations for magazines like the New Yorker and companies like Ikea, but she writes great books...
