The Perfect Pour

The Perfect Pour

This self-promotional poster from Plaid Inc. is a nice mix of info­graph­ics and cof­fee. This would have been great when I worked at a café so that I could have made those drinks cus­tomers ordered that I’d never heard of …

Conan O'Brien Records a Spoken Word Album with Jack White

Conan O’Brien Records a Spoken Word Album with Jack White

Side A starts with his insane impromptu telling of Franken­stein. I haven’t quite heard any­thing like it. Side B is his inter­view con­ducted Jack White. Equally funny. Lis­ten to it here. It is also pretty cool to hear the interview …

Aaron Horkey's

Aaron Horkey’s “Midwestern Heart”

Yet another incred­i­ble print by Aaron Horkey. This man has got some seri­ous tal­ent. This poster, like his oth­ers, was drawn by hand. Unbe­liev­able, right? More info can be found here.

Eric

Eric “Guitar” Davis at Beale on Broadway

This poster, cre­ated in con­junc­tion with the pre­vi­ous Kim Massie post, fol­lows the same guide­lines with the Blue Note Records feel but pro­motes the after party to the Big Muddy Blues Fes­ti­val that took place over last week­end. Unfor­tu­nately I …

Alphaposters from Happycentro

Alphaposters from Happycentro

I had just recently res­tum­bled across these Alpha­pos­ters from Hap­py­cen­tro and remem­bered just how much I enjoy the con­cept and imagery. I espe­cially like the “f” poster with the map illus­tra­tion. Old maps are the greatest.

The Bungaloo: Fairly Recent Update

The Bungaloo: Fairly Recent Update

My friend and fel­low designer at the Bun­ga­loo recently updated his site with some new work. As usual, the posters are so fun to look at. I espe­cially dig his Liars poster with the torn wall­pa­per theme. Very cool. Buy them …

Cool Infrared Photography

Cool Infrared Photography

My fiancé recently got her hands on an infrared con­verted Nikon D70 and holy crap are the pic­tures unique. Yes­ter­day she went to a park near our apart­ment and shot some pic­tures dur­ing the nice, slightly cloudy after­noon. What she …

Tavis Coburn

Tavis Coburn

Tavis Coburn is an illus­tra­tor who’s work is inspired by vin­tage prints, comic books and Russ­ian avant-garde. His port­fo­lio has sev­eral strik­ing por­trait illus­tra­tions as well as nar­ra­tive and con­cep­tual pieces. His por­trai­ture is what really stands out to me. …

For those of you liv­ing in St. Louis, don’t miss Kim Massie’s Trib­ute to Women & Soul this Fri­day night at Beale on Broad­way. I was lucky enough to get the job design­ing the poster for the event as well …
