The Nate Bear Art website has been updated. I have a tremendous amount of time for any illustrator happy to use the term “sucks balls” in his work. Bravo!

Illustrator Jan Feliks Kallwejt’s portfolio has plenty of nice work in, with the added bonus of profligate use of the letters x, w and y, owing to his Polish background.

I’d kill a puppy to own this poster, it’s so very, very lovely. A fantastic piece of work by the legendary graphic designer Milton Glaser.

If you’re unfamiliar with Dave or The Count, go hide in a dark room for a while and punch yourself in the face repeatedly, then go buy some records, philistine.

Eric Smith’s perspective on life changed upon being diagnosed with cancer, leading to the Live Now Project:

“Before cancer I was like most folks, just cruising along. It was during my treatment, when I started to discover what cancer could gift to me – the ability to absorb every moment as if each one were my whole life. The Live Now Project was born!”

City boy turned illustrator Simon Page is interviewed on Grain Feed. The interview itself is far from gripping, but his portfolio contains some pleasing experiments with geometry and type.

I have a lot of time for Chris Martin’s illustration. His new work for a well known mobile phone retailer is worthy of much praise and back-slapping.
