From New York 04/29/08
Samantha Hahn permalinkWe like the washed out, sunset-y palette Samantha Hahn uses in her illustrations. We also like the idea of flying shoes quite a bit so she’s scored twice with us. |
From San Francisco 04/23/08
Lab Partners permalinkRyan and Sarah from Lab Partners got in touch to let us know about their sweet letterpress and gocco work. The only thing missing from this print that we can detect is a Mission burrito. Otherwise, it’s pure SF bliss. |
From Australia 04/16/08
Skull Drawing Contest permalinkThe inaugural International Skull Drawing Competition is coming to a close. Entries are due by Friday, April 18. All you skull-obsessed, notebook and toe-of-your-Chucks scribblers get your work in! (Via NowNow.) |
From London 04/10/08

From New York 03/31/08
Al Jaffee for Mad Magazine permalinkAl Jaffee has been illustrating for Mad Magazine for longer than most of us have been alive. He is especially well known for his “fold-ins” on the back page of the magazine. The NYTimes put together an interactive retrospective of Al’s fold-ins, for those of you needing a lesson on how to acheive the quality. |

Faesthetic #7 permalinkFor the past 7 years, nobody has held it down for underground art and design harder than Upso. His 7 issues of Faesthetic “magazine” have featured just about every decent young artist of the past 7 years. Guess we could say that if you haven’t been in Faesthetic...well...you probably wanna be.

Caitlin Shearer permalinkRuby red mushrooms, a pair of skinned knees, and a giant beehive do. We like where Caitlin Shearer is coming from, even if it isn’t a forest. We also like that she’s now offering prints on her Etsy shop.

Marcus Oakley permalinkMarcus Oakley’s drawings should come with a wood-paneled rec room, a corduroy sofa and a tv dinner.

From Philadelphia 03/12/08
Elizabeth Garvey permalinkA friend here at UO HQ told us about Elizabeth Garvey and we’re stoked on that. She’s got some serious range. Her site features her drawings, illustrations, paintings and she wields a mean needle and thread to boot. These Batman and Robin “monsters” are cute, but totally scrappy and rad and avenging at the same time. Bonus points: She recently got her Etsy shop up and running.

Andy J. Miller permalinkSkulls are definitely getting the trend extension pass. But what would really be cool is if this is what skulls actually looked like. Check out more groovy swirls over at Andy J Miller’s site. (Via print & pattern.) |

Ferry Gouw permalinkFerry Gouw roped up all his illustrations, animations and video work and put ‘em up on the webs. (Via Vice.) |

The IPRC permalinkIn their own eloquent words, The Independent Publishing Resource Center “facilitates creative expression and identity by providing individual access to the resources and tools for the creation of independently published media and art. Since 1998 the center has been dedicated to encouraging the growth of a visual and literary publishing community by offering a space to gather and exchange information and ideas, as well as to produce work”.

Kelly Smith permalinkAustralian artist Kelly Smith has been killing it lately with her off the runway watercolors. While she is able to capture the dead on stares of looks we’re used to seeing in photographs, she is quickly becoming one of my favorite fashion illustrators. |
From Paris 01/07/08
Garance Doré permalinkKeeping with our simple is better line of thinking/postsing...we love how the graceful, feminine lines in these illustrations by Garance Doré also deliver the sexy. |
From London 12/03/07
Linzie Hunter permalinkFinally somebody does something worthwhile with all that spam. Great handlettering by Linzie Hunter, based on spam subject lines in her inbox.

Danny Sangra permalinkThese bold, kinda paranoid and smarty-pants illustrations by Danny Sangra have us getting ready to board our personal space craft. (Via B&B.) |
From New York 11/12/07
Laura Bellmont permalinkTucked behind her site’s subtly feminine and detailed illustration work, we found Laura Bellmont’s intricate pop-up business card. |
From New York 11/09/07

From Los Angeles 11/02/07

Bryce McCloud permalinkBryce McCloud understands the value of adhering to tradition. When he’s not running the business side of the Isle of Printing shop in Nashvegas, you’ll find him on the business end of a lino tool, carving his illustrations into linoleum block. |
From New York 10/19/07
Mike Perry permalinkMike Perry -who we’ve posted about before- is on fire. We’ll hype his latest Zoo York collab decks in another post but for now, we’re feeling this edition (above) that he did for 20x200. And if you’re out and about tomorrow, stop by Jen Bekman’s gallery, where he’s giving a talk and signing his Hand Job book from 3-5pm. |
From New York 10/08/07
Marion B permalinkWatercolor illustration has us in it’s grips lately...Marion B’s eye series are another case in point.
