David Shrigley: Polite Cards by Tim Yu
by Gabriel Bell
For those with a checkered past or a wicked sense of humor we recommend a selection from David Shrigley's line of comical cards presented by the British design collective, Polite. Granted, there's nothing actually polite about Shrigley's cards, and even less that's sweet.
The cards feature captions like, "It's Getting Worse," "Leave Me Alone You Horrible Freaks," and "At The Moment I'm Thinking About Germ Warfare." Cutting, random and plain funny, it's exactly the opposite of your Hallmark variety and we appreciate the charming whimsy about them.
Be sure to check out both his greeting and postcards available for purchase from the Polite Shop starting at £10.

Matthew Woodson
Matthew Woodson's illustration style doesn't exactly break new ground, but it's his rotoscoping-like technique we like most. Overriding themes include half-nude woman, tattoos, skeletons, violence and mystery, all of which we like and seek out. Check out more of his work on his website, ghostco, blog, with hands and hair (and eyes and bones and knees). You can also see his work in some...

Eleanor Voterakis
Melbourne-based artist Eleanor Voterakis works predominantly with a 2B mechanical pencil [Pacer]. "My drawings are quite stark and delicate," she says. "The drawn objects tend to be situated in a blank space, and I play around with form by leaving parts of objects unfinished or filled in as silhouettes." The detail and texture in her work is stunning, stamping her as one of the...

Maija Louekari Illustrations
We loved Maija Louekari's hand-drawn illustrations even before discovering that she has worked as a freelance textile designer for Marimekko. Her HO-HOI! fabric topped the Textile Design category at the Elle International Design Awards in 2006. The Finnish illustrators work is made by hand, her favorite tools being fine felt tip pens, pencils, scissors and colored paper....
