I am obsessed with
Diane von Furstenberg’s latest ad campaign, shot by French artist François-Marie Banier. My favorite aspect of the campaign is the hand written script collaged onto the shot below.

I just came across the work of illustrator
Chrissie Abbott. Her various typographies and collages are awesome. Definitely check out her site, and the two page illustration she created for the February issue of
Nylon.

I recently came across the amazing illustrations of local artist, Kirk Hiatt. Since working for
MoonblooD, I’ve grown quite an affinity for wolves and love his graphite interpretation. My favorite, however, is this sharpie and india ink abstraction. Check out more of Kirk’s work
here.

I recently bought illustrator Keri Smith’s new DIY book, The Guerilla Art Kit. The book hones in on the concept that art is for everyone, and shares tons of fun guerilla art installation ideas. My favorite project was the “You Are Here” map, which can be created by simply mounting a map of your town and then pointing out your location with markers or stickers. Your can check out Keri’s blog
here.

I just bought this amazing typography book called Hand Job. The book features tons of hand drawn lettering by a number of well known artists. It’s an endless source of inspiration and I’m totally obsessed.

I love the work of sign artist Jeff Canham. The above untitled work is my favorite because it reminds me of the summer.

I’m looking forward to checking out these crocheted pieces at

I was introduced to Marcus Nilsson’s photographer yesterday, and I’m totally in love with his ability to capture the mundane in an achingly beautiful way. His pictures are amazingly minimal but are jam packed with expression, strong colors and contrast. Check out his site here:
marcusnilsson.com.

The other day when I was so taken with Kate Moss’s graphic identity, I had no idea who to thank for all it’s lovely-ness. Turns out British graphic designer Peter Saville in conjunction with Paul Barnes is responsible. You may have seen Peter’s work on album covers for bands such as Joy Division and New Order. Basically his stuff is amazingly rad, check out some more of his work
here (Designed by Peter Saville) or
here (co-author of Visionaire 36).
