Cool Hunting
Oakland, CA's Jason Munn is the one-man machine behind The Small Stakes independent design studio. Along with some beautifully designed and silkscreen posters for such bands as Nada Surf, Death Cab for Cutie, Wilco and Blonde Redhead (to name but a few), he keeps busy with a range of visual designs including book covers and album packaging. Most recently, he's behind a few t-shirt designs for Patagonia that will be out this spring and fall, all centered around environmental issues and supporting the grassroots foundations that are fighting for them.
This season's tees include the timely "Vote the Environment" (which helps out the worthy (i.e. they go way further than recycling) League of Conservation Voters), the sinister Pollution Plant (below center) and the Future of the Earth (below right). (Click images for detail.) They'll all retail for $30 a pop (with a portion of each sale going to a related NGO) and will be available from Patagonia come spring.

Award-winning London based illustrator Von has long been a CH favorite so when he decided to launch a range of tees and totes we grabbed the chance to find out more. Why did you decide to brand into fashion now? As much as t-shirts have been done a million times before I still get excited when I come across a really nice design printed...

Nat Russell's "Always Late In 2008 But Just In Time For 2009" is the perfect solution for those of us who still haven't gotten around to getting a 2008 calendar. The calendar begins on 16 March 2008 and ends on 15 March of 2009, making you right on time to snatch up one of these limited edition posters. We think its also a subtly...
Barely into her 20s, designer/illustrator Kate Moross has a client list as long as some established design firms. You might recognize her distinctive work from Vice and Nylon magazines or U.K. bands like Klaxons and the Maccabees. She cut her teeth designing flyers for London shows three years ago with a penchant for throwback psychedelic graphics and lettering. Her more recent work favors a...
