I love seeing graphic design and illustration getting on so well. Caleb Heisey really killed the design of these akvavit bottle labels for Swedish distillery, Folksaga. Each one features an illustration of a popular Swedish folk tale. Clever.
I’m really enjoying this most recent work by Dave Foster. In addition to his excellent lettering, calligraphy and graphic design work, Dave is an accomplished type designer. He attended The Royal Academy of Art’s post-graduate course in Type and Media in 2012. In fact, his graduation typeface, Blanco, won a Certificate of Excellence in Typeface Design from the Type Directors Club in New York, among other awards.
I’m really enjoying these maps by Vancouver based illustrator and designer, Edward Juan. They remind me of M. Sasek’s This is series. Edward’s work was recently featured in the book A Map of the World: The World According to Illustrators and Storytellers. If you’re like me and really diggin’ this stuff you can order prints here.

It’s been hard finding the time to work with the Intuos lately. Other design projects just seem to get in the way every time I have the opportunity. This weekend it’s happening though. I’ve got to give these brushes a try. They look amazing! You can download your set here for only 5 bucks.

I really need to read a Malcolm Gladwell book. I’ll probably start with Blink. I think this beautiful box set might just be the excuse I was looking for. Design by Paul Sahre with drawings by Brian Rea.
