At some point in the not so distant past it appears illustration/design powerhouse Vault 49 has updated with what looks like both a new website and several new projects. All of which looks pop-o-liscious.
I am really digging both the video and the song ‘Heaven Can Wait’ from Charlotte Gainsbourg who sings in duo with Beck (who looks like he could use a little sun and an extra meal or two).
Amsterdam-based digital agency Momkai has worked for some big-named clients. It is easy to see why just by the slick presentation of their work alone. They have some excellent examples of digital design in their portfolio and browsing it is a joy in and of itself.
Lettercult has released their picks for the best of 2009. There are some choice examples of typography on display as expected. Luke Lucas made the list a few times and I have to admit to always being a fan of his work. It makes me realize I need to up my game.
There is some tasty digital photo illustration work in the Behance portfolio of Portland-based designer/illustration Craig Sprecher. I had a pair of Spiz’ikes but I sold them on eBay when I needed some quick cash (damn).
Artist/illustrator Andre Azevedo sent a note that he has updated his website with a new layout and some hip fashion-inspired new work. There is a ton of new work actually and some of it is pretty fun to look at.
Dutch director/artist duo Lernert & Sander have updated their joint portfolio with some new ‘hands-on’ project work for video. Apparently they love their work and it shows through their efforts. We love it too.
Willow Design wrote in from a ‘rainy Belfast’ to let us know they have updated their portfolio with some new project work for the new year. We are enjoying it from a sunny (but soon to be snowy) Denver.
It wasn’t long ago that I wrote about the exploits of designer/illustrator Philippe Intraligi but it appears his site has recently been updated and there is all manner of colorful eyecandy in his new portfolio to sink your lashes into. You can also peep more at his Behance-folio.
Antonio Carusone has relaunched a new version of his always-excellent design blog AisleOne. He has included an option to view the posts in a grid which makes for a grid-a-licious vintage-inspired helvetica-heavy online graphic design experience.
Tim Lahan is an illustrator I have always enjoyed for his rather peculiar sense of sarcasm. I always end up quite literally laughing out loud (oh I said it LOL) when looking through his work. The adventures of poop man in his Flickrfolio were no exception. I mean how can you not appreciate an image titled ‘Poop Douche’. I not only appreciate the illustration, I also appreciate the fact that Tim is always subconsciously on the lookout for the next perfect image to fit poop man into.
At Copenhagen-based design studio Anni’s, you get your crispy clean editorial graphic design polybagged and presented neatly on a tasty green background.
Since I first wrote about Moscow native artist Ted Vasin last summer, he has since updated with a new site and some new work for 2009. His style continues to amaze with the strange weaving of the real and the surreal.
Fellow Designers is the work of Stockholm design duo Paul Kuhlhom and Eva Lijefors. They have quaint little studio where they can look right across to one another and maybe engage in the occasional stare down stand off.

Neue is an online magazine pieced together through submissions. Each issue is about a different city and asks submitting designers to interpret their city through a typographic poster. The current issues is New York and the next issue is Barcelona. Something tells me Denver won’t make the list.
I have thought about getting a tattoo since I was in my teens and have never been able to commit. Amanda Wachob has me thinking differently and reconsidering what is even possible with a tattoo. Her tattoos looks as though they are painted on using a brush. The color work is also remarkable. It’s permanent art that would no doubt spark a few conversations.
Agency KesselsKramer commissioned Johnny Kelly and artist Jethro Haynes to create the title sequence for Dutch TV programme Het Klokhuis (The Apple Core). They achieved the final sequence using 3D printing, essentially printing the sequential tranisitionary imagery and then shooting it. You can just imagine how labor intensive and time consuming the process must have been. Creative Review has more about the creation of the sequence along with several photos and credits.
