Rand Renfrow
Posted by Amy on Wednesday March 3, 2010
Quirky illustrations, zines and posters from Rand Renfrow. He hit the nail on the head with It Seems Like It’s Missing Something — an illustrated book of quotes collected from people’s humorous encounters with outsiders to the design and art world; a collaboration with Shaun Fox. I bet the designer who has these sort of clients are tearing their hair out instead of laughing when told the same thing!

Absolutely loving the simple and effective illustrations of Karolin Schnoor, an illustrator based in London. She just opened up an Etsy shop, lucky us!

Vanilla Bug

How adorable are these finger puppets? They’re three French hens screenprinted onto calico fabric (with wonderful little touches like rosy cheeks and a necklace touched up by hand!) The trio fits handsomely into their own pouch, and were all handmade made by Amy Borrell, a freelance designer + illustrator based in Australia –- check out more handmade items in her Vanillabug Etsy shop.

Emilio Santoyo

Emilio Santoyo seems to be having lots of fun, and this shows through in his work. He dabbles in lots of things – editorial, comics, and even sewing. Take a look at his screen-printed pocket pouches. YOWZA! His website is a treat, so make sure you head over and take in all the happy vibe.

Beautiful screenprinting action from DoroHuber. She’s from Berlin, and sadly, that’s all I know about her at the moment!
UPDATE: Her full name is Dorothea Huber and here’s her website! {Thanks Alexandre!}

Beauchamping

Looking through Beauchamping’s Etsy shop, his Homestead series reminds me how much of how I miss and love my family, since I am currently away from them for three weeks.
And best of all, each of his work has a story.
{Thanks Yael!}

Cornelia O'Donovan
Posted by Amy on Tuesday September 8, 2009
Ooooh, I think I’m in love. Cornelia O’Donovan’s work has a playful and light-hearted personality that draws me in instantly!
*From her profile:*
Just having fun with paper, pens, glue and scissors, the flow of images of character faces and figures, animals birds, flowers and abstract patterns her exploring artistry makes a poetic mix from technique and narrative.
In short, plain awesome!
You can hop into her Etsy shop while it’s still open, but she’s slowly moving her stuff into her new Bigcartel shop.

Print Brigade
Posted by Racheal Anilyse on Tuesday August 4, 2009
Two cool dudes, one sweet love. Her name: Print Brigade. Hand drawn typography is a beautiful thing and Chris Piascik and Vaughn Fender celebrate it in their joint company Print Brigade. PRBR makes tees, totes, and prints for women and men.
I went to art school with these two. Their screen printed and lino cut posters could be found in the class and on dorm room walls. So it’s nice to see that what they loved back then, they are still making now.
The point: all you need is one art friend, encourage each other to create, stick with it, and allow yourself to be wooed by typography from time to time!
