today is my last day of posting for two weeks as im off on holiday to new york. i'll be pounding the streets of manhattan and will obviously have my trusty camera in hand - so anything i spot will hopefully be reported back here when i return. im taking a shopping list of books that im after, and i hope to buy some cool 12 x12 papers, cards, gift wraps, etc. im keen to visit the big new kinokuniya store, get a copy of adorn magazine, browse urban outfitters, anthropologie, cb2, and many more. please join me back here on may 12th. in the meantime please feel free to browse the archives. see you soon !
i wanted to recommend two books today, that may have been intended for children, but have great appeal for designers and illustrators. picture pie and picture pie 2 are part of the ed emberley drawing book series. the idea is that you can creat all manner of objects, animals, birds and patterns from simple shapes. just check out that beautiful peacock above. see the books here in the print & pattern bookshop click here for USA and here for UK.
if i sit and think of some of my dream commissions; maybe one would be to do the 'flight of the conchords' cover design for their new album. well this dream job came true for illustrator tyler stout. these are the results.
