“It takes so much work, it’s kind of ridiculous.”
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.
(via a nice little article over on True/Slant.)
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?

Often the simplest idea is the best one. Via Rafael Morgan Studio.
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.
