I stumbled across this great little short film about hand-painted advertisements created by Mother NY and Stella Artois. It’s beautiful, nostalgic, inspiring: everything you’d expect it to be.

I swear I’m not trying to turn DB into a showcase for Tyler Stout’s work only, but it’s hard not to highlight it when it’s this good.

Posted: April 9th, 2010 | Author: craig | Filed under: Design, Illustration, Inspiration | Tags: adobe, architecture, Design, Illustration, illustrator, Inspiration, poster | No Comments »
Having spent about 5 years drawing homes & buildings in Illustrator in Los Angeles, I’m always excited to find someone doing it in an interesting way. I really like the orange treatment Andrei Marius gave this illustration over on VectorTuts.
It reminded me of a poster I started working on a few months ago but keep deciding that I don’t like. I’ve included a snippet of that after the break. Surely with a buildup like that, how can you resist?
The Third & the Seventh
Posted: April 3rd, 2010 | Author: craig | Filed under: Inspiration, Misc., video | Tags: animation, architecture, CGI, Inspiration, photography, video | No Comments »Alex Roman has created one of the most awe-inspiring full CGI works that I’ve ever seen. Doesn’t hurt that it features some of the greatest architecture in the world, either. It’s really worth going over to Vimeo and checking it out in fullscreen HD (they won’t let me embed it).

Niels “Shoe” Meulman is a super-talented graffiti artist and creative director from Amsterdam. His work is so good, I’m actually shocked that I haven’t seen it before. He has a new book out, called “Calligraffiti” that looks fantastic.
