Interview with Catalina Estrada
(18 September 2007) - Columbian illustrator Catalina Estrada recently designed some prints for Paul Smith in Japan. We checked in with her to see how it all came about. How did the assignment for Paul Smith come up and what was the brief? They contacted me by email. I think they saw my work in a book publication. They wanted me to create a few illustrations based on...

Alyson Fox for Keep Calm
(14 September 2007) - We were early fans of U.K.-based Keep Calm and their eye for art and design that evoked simpler times, so it's good to see them branching out as an online gallery but staying true to the overall aesthetic with these latest limited-edition prints. The illustrations are by multi-talented Texan Alyson Fox, who has also been getting a decent amount of word-of-mouth praise, and can...

Yuko Shimizu
(15 August 2007) - We love the work of New York-based Japanese illustrator Yuko Shimizu—the sense of drama her work conveys and the apparent color clashes that somehow gel despite pre-existing rules about their compatibility. What have you been up to of late?I just came back from a week in Georgian Bay in Canada. No internet, no cell phone reception for a week. It was fantastic! Now I...

Tin&Ed
(30 April 2007) - 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...
