I was recently asked by Computer Arts to collaborate with NIARK 1 on a project for a recently released issue. I have been crunched for time lately with everything going on and wasn’t able to do it. I knew all about the French illustrator/artist/designer but I guess I didn’t realize until seeing a recent addition to his Behance-folio how talented of a painter he is. It’s a unique thing to be able to generate your imagery fluidly across digital and analog mediums and he is fully capable of doing it in style.

I am way into these drawn typography layouts in the Behance-folio of Serbian illustrator Nebojsa Cvetkovic. There is something retro about them that is hard to put a finger on (like you have seen them before) but they are oh-so-likeable and I would pick one up if they were for sale.

I was really pleased to stumble upon some new type arrangements in the Behance-folio of Barcelona-based design studio Vanila BCN for Nike. Super cool and candy colored work.

Romanian designer/illustrator Alex Beltechi is doing some interesting dimensional type-as-image work. Yes, it is highly digital (and I know some folks don’t like that), but it is also expertly rendered.

There is some really nice work in the Behance-folio of Martin Stousland. I love that he isn’t afraid to get a little dark especially with some of his experimental work.

I am really picking up on what illustrator Raphael Vicenzi is laying down. I knew of him from his work as ‘My Dead Pony’, but I stumbled across some work of his on Behance today through a link to his personal name, and was once again impressed and inspired.

Crazy horses and monkeys and triangles and well, just crazy glowing things that look kind of awesome from Finnish designer/illustrator Sakke Soini. I have posted his work before but there has been some notable updates including the pretty damned cool image above.
