Cute photography from Erin Hanson.

Bird & Banner

I love love love the work of stationary company Bird & Banner. Specializing in wedding invitations, I'm liking their use of type and materials. Lots of charm, personality and storytelling. Lots of attention to detail. I'll take a job here, please.

Julene Harrison

Wasted time travels far too fast. I have to start updating this thing again. Luckily I've a few things bookmarked. Textile designer and papercut artist, Julene Harrison creates some serious patience testing work, not to mention she must posses some of the most insane x-acto skills ever seen. I wish I could draw letters that detailed, let alone cut them out. Ridiculous.

Kate Bingaman-Burt

Kate Bingaman-Burt is an artist living in Portland. Her cute little illustration style makes me super happy. Plus, she's got some really great projects going on...obsessive consumption, what did you buy today and recently she did work for the documentary Handmade Nation. Check out her flickr.

Frank Chimero

Frank Chimero has some nice illustration and design work. I especially like his State Series, meant to be an exploration of form. Check out other work on his Flickr.

Jordan Michael Gray

Browsing the backlogs of ffffound this morning, this stuff really caught my eye. It's odd, yet elegant and employs some handsome type. Two typeface limit? Psh. Not here. I popped on over to his website and was surprised to learn he lives in Lawrence and works at Berstein-Rein. Here's his website and his flickr.

Died Young, Stayed Pretty

Died Young, Stayed Pretty: A Movie about Rock Posters. I must see this!

How (Not) to Write like a Designer

William Bostwick's How (Not) to Write like a Designer: 5 Tricks You Didn't Learn in Studio is really insightful and should be helpful with those pesky internship applications on the horizon.

Cristiana Couceiro

Cristiana Coucerior creates some beautiful collage work. Retro. Contemporary. All jumbled together. Amazing work.

The "Name My Design Company" Machine

Although Kimberly and I will be naming our design firm Duninundies, LTD. the Name My Design Company Machine might come in handy to some.

Could Be Me

"Could be me is a project exploring possibility of one artist occupying another's space. It is a visual adventure and an interpretation of the same sentence by different artists worldwide ." Also a good way to find some more artists out there.

The 2008 Feltron Annual Report

The 2008 Feltron Annual Report is interesting. Must have taken some crazy dedication.

Handmade Nation

One of my new years resolutions is to be craftier. For awhile now, I've had this urge to make stuff by hand. However, without sewing skills and a sad, sad talent for drawing, I have no idea where to start. Handmade Nation is a documentary coming out this year all about the recent DIY movement. Maybe it'll light the fire within.

Authentic Theft

The Selby

I love this. Photographer Todd Selby photographs interesting people in their creative spaces. Started because of his curiosity about the way personal space reflects personality, The Selby shows artists, musicians, writers and other creative people in their strange, crazy spaces.

Present & Correct

Online store Present & Correct has some painfully cute paper goods, as well as a good website. One day I will have money. One day I will be able to buy things.

Marc Johns

Marc Johns' work is just plain weird. The Canadian illustrator has a blog, but I think the best way to browse his stuff is through Flickr. This man's head is nutty. I like.

Office

Office is a small design studio located in San Fransisco. My favorite work of theirs being the pirate supply packaging done for 826 Valencia, all of their work is bright and friendly. They're even the ones responsible for that Get Out the Vote poster we all loved.

Jon Contino

Jon Contino is a typographer and illustrator from New York City. Lately, I've been having horrible sketchbook anxiety. Looking at his sketchbook work on Flickr didn't make me feel any better. Maybe one day I'll be able to bust out with the Blackletter too.

The Oxford Project

In 1984, photographer Peter Feldstein photographed every resident living in the small town of Oxford, Iowa. Twenty years later he returned to photograph them again. They are now compiled in the book, The Oxford Project, alongside some really interesting interviews. I love time travel.

Objectified Trailer

Gary Hustwit, creator of Helvetica, has a new movie coming out this March. Objectified is a full length documentary on industrial design and I'm super excited to see it.
