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.
Love the embossed leather label. This is a well-done product, from top to bottom. Bravo.
I came across these covers for two of Akira Kurosawa’s best flicks the other day while looking for another one of his films on Netflix. Love them.
This wonderful poster is for sale over on Society6 for $50. Worth every penny. (via Kitsune Noir)
Love these cartons by Sanna Annukka for Cravendale Milk.
Patagonia decided to scrap their printed catalog and instead debuted an entirely online catalog yesterday. They’re certainly not the first company to do this. But it re-ignited a conversation I’ve been running in my head about the possibilities that interactivity bring to works that would traditionally be print-only. From the Kindle to the iPod to traditional browsers, the way that we tell a story or sell a product should never be the same.
Love these cans by SuperBig Creative for Jones Soda (via the Dieline). Happy Halloween!
Update 10/31/09: I’m drinking the Candy Corn flavor right now, and it’s pretty delicious. Just thought you should know. DesignBrawl approved.
Here’s a quick tutorial where I run through using the opacity mask in Illustrator to create transparent shadows that fade out to nothing. I can remember when I first started drawing in Illustrator it took longer than I care to admit before I realized that a gradient didn’t have to have two colors (ok, it does but it doesn’t have to appear that way).
Here’s a beautifully rendered poster for the Phantom of the Opera at the Alamo Drafthouse by Martin Ansin.

I’m not sure what I was planning to do with this drawing. I’m pretty sure I was just drawing it for a screencast that I ended up not using. Anyway, I’m giving away the .ai file in the hopes that somebody has a use for it.
Here’s a link to the .ai file.
