(21 September 2006) - John Austin is a 27 year old toy designer and self-proclaimed master in the tradition of the college prank.

Hope Gangloff
(11 September 2006) - We love Hope Gangloff's pop culture-heavy designs for Built by Wendy and her subtly dirty illustrations for Sweet Action. Her offbeat, somewhat diaristic ballpoint pen drawings range from scenes of party life and debauchery to still lifes of roadside views and the contents of a purse. For her first solo show, she will exhibit a series of pieces in ink and a large latex...

Marian Bantjes
(19 July 2006) - The Canadian graphic designer Marian Bantjes is the creator of some of the most startlingly beautiful images that I have seen recently. At first glance I was enchanted by her decorative graphic style which is at once antique and modern. She appears to draw on influences from the organic forms of William Morris to the swirls of medieval manuscripts. Her hand, however, tempers what...

Eleanor Voterakis
(27 June 2006) - 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...

Hungry Zine
(23 May 2006) - The concept behind Australian zine Hungry is pretty simple. Born out of a cold Melbourne night and a few drinks, the creative team behind the low-budget publication decided that each issue will have a different theme. The illustrators interpret this theme as they wish. But the main focus of the zine is to have fun without the confines of a tight brief. It’s a...

Already breaking records, Dangermouse blends diverse genres including soul, gospel, funk, and post-punk, with Cee-Lo's impressive vocals that hint at seminal crooners like Stevie Wonder.

Imaginary Foundation Season Eight
(26 April 2006) - Like the Imaginary Foundation designs we've come to expect and covet, the latest batch of tees from the San Francisco-based company combines inventive 19th-century-tinged illustrations with irreverent one-line quips. Always a little absurd, the new collection brings in nautical references, vintage stereo equipment, and old-world fonts. Some shirts, like the "Original Nutter" shirt (left), are made using the "Dye Gain" process which creates the...

James Riches
(31 March 2006) - Some beautiful work from Melbourne based artist James Riches who manages to effortlessly cover his vibrant story book narratives with a darker and somewhat ethereal coating. “I'm curious about those moments when we slip through the crack in reality into a different place. So often in our day to day life we are denied the pleasure of fantasy by the constraints of work, deadlines,...

Kat Cameron (Team Kitten)
(16 March 2006) - Brisbane-based illustrator, Kat Cameron, shifts dramatically between cutesy Hello Kitty styled vector and darker sexually based themes with her Team Kitten work. Her quirky take on girls and cuddly creatures utlises a minimalist colour palette yet her characters seem strangely at ease within their rather incongruous surrounds. Cameron has done editorial work for a number of magazines in Australia including Yen and Stu and...

Joshua Gurrie
(06 March 2006) - While Australian illustrator and painter Joshua Gurrie takes inspiration from the racier elements of contemporary popular culture, his work also seeks to counter the over-saturation of "pop media, web junk and glossy sneakers." He achieves this with clean black lines that pierce the page with their directness and his work is notable for its lack of excessive ornamentation. Gurrie’s background in design contributes to...
