My friends and all-around-good-guys at FormFiftyFive have conducted another interview with one of my favorite illustrators-of-the-moment, Hellovon. Although you can watch it above, you can get a little more background on the interview at FFF’s website.

Notes On Design has posted an interview with one-time-Denverite and personal friend Celeste Prevost. I think Celeste was my first MySpace friend back when people still actually used MySpace. Celeste recently relaunched her personal portfolio site where she labors under the name Design Is Fine. It most certainly is under hand as well. She was by far one of the most talented young designers I had ever met in Denver and had an unbridled passion for art and design that was genuinely infectious. When she left for greener (or snowier) pastures in Minneapolis, her absence was mourned by the local creative community.

She is married to another talented Denver-expat Rob Angermuller who works under the name Lifter Baron. Rob is a fantastic talent as well. Congratulations on the recent projects Celeste. I miss you both.

This is a cool video made by people who are experts on hip and cool things about some really hip and cool guys who make really cool stuff inside of a really cool building located in the city that is considered the mecca of cool and then those cool guys sell some of that cool stuff back to cool people who know about cool things. That is how cool is recycled.

Fellow design blog Form Fifty Five put together a nice interview with designer/typographer Alex Trochut, whom everyone has been hot on in the last year or so. They did a great job putting together the interview edit and the questions were provided by readers of a the blog.

You can visit the actual page for the interview at FFF here and see some comments from FFF readers. Great work guys and a good interview to boot. Look forward to more of this from FFF in the near future.

Don’t panic has a nice interview posted with one of my most favorite illustrators, Sam Weber. If you are unaccustomed to his work, get familiar because everything he touches turns to gold. I have been tracking his progress as an illustrator ever since he first surfaced online and he just keeps getting better. He begins his process using paint and ink but often finishes his imagery digitally. Some call him an illustrator but I am more comfortable calling him an artist. I wish I could say more because there just isn’t enough words to express his talent, you just have to see his work for yourself.
