Yes, the work of Eric Yahnker is undeniably strange. This much is true. After the initial weird out has happened it begins to sink in that works like the pieces shown above were actually created in graphite. That’s right, they were drawn. When that realization occurs, it’s hard not to deny some keen talent and a really amazing eye.
Graphic designer and illustrator Robi Jõeleht has updated with some really spectacular color and typography work.
The Big Pink is a really interesting mash-up of musical styles. You can hear influences from all over the place in their music. If you can get through the ‘droning’ at the beginning of the song you will be richly rewarded by the vocals. The video is expertly shot and art directed as well.

This will surely be the news of the day in the ad/creative circles. CP+B has launched a new and apparently still ‘beta‘ version of their website. The concept is very similar to Modernista’s site whereas content is being fed from all over the net about Crispin into the site. It’s still an interesting idea and maybe more relavant to the giant press-making machine that is Crispin but the execution is really lacking. I know everyone wants to jump on the hate train with CP+B because they are so absolutely amazing but it’s purely logistical. The site just looks ugly and unpolished. If you want to go clean, just do what Weiden and Kennedy did with their recent ‘London‘ website. You can still make a site attractive using type and color. Logistics or not, Crispin is the undisputable heavyweight of the ad world at the moment. I don’t think that is up for argument here, it’s just their site is blah.
Yu Cheng Hong is a self described ‘amateur’ illustrator, concept artist and graphic designer from Taipei, Taiwan. He may describe himself as such but his work is anything but.
London creative agency, A+B studio has some really clever work in their portfolio. The studio was founded by designers Alex Lampe and Benji Wiedemann.
Concept artist James NG has done some updating with some really stellar imagery being added to his already mind numbing body of illustration work.
Photographer Tre Dadlar has some stunning and atmospherically contemplative imagery in his very accomplished portfolio.
It has been a long while since I mentioned the graphic design exploits of Thomas Brooks. Since my last post he has been busy updating his portfolio with some really beautiful type and image work. Love the layout above.
Mark Weaver likes nature and outer space (two things close to my heart as well) and he experiments by collaging those loves into some really interesting layouts that you can see in his Flickr-folio. He updates often so check back.
There are some real treats in the Flickr-folio of French artist Amose, who isn’t afraid to take his work to the streets.
Typcut is an interesting ongoing experiment happening within a circle of contributing designers and illustrators.
Manchester-based graphic designer/art director, Adam Rix has some really nice work spanning a broad range of mediums in his portfolio.
Illustrator Kelly Thompson has updated with some really nice illustration work. Her fashion-centric, sometimes art nouveau influenced imagery is spot on and complimented by her subtle but enticing color work.

There are some strange and unusual new collages involving found imagery for 2009 in the portfolio of Valero Doval.
