Emily CM Anderson

  Emily CM Anderson is a graphic designer working in New York City. She studied at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and at the Academie voor beeldende kunst en vormgeving Arnhem, in the Netherlands. I really appreciate the quality of her work, including her involvement with the redesigned and re-conceptualized 66 year old American Craft magazine, D&AD of Dwell during 2005/6, info graphics for New York Magazine, and  more.

Adam Garcia

 Adam Garcia aka The Pressure, is a Philly based designer/art director/illustrator producing some really solid work both under his own guise as well as for the agency 160over90, where he is a senior designer. He just did a soft relaunch of his site with a new design and new work including projects for Athletes Foot, Saladworks, and MF DOOM – among others.

 Three Potato Four is one of those gems that you want to keep to yourself, but have to share because it’s so great. I love found things, old type & signage, furniture, etc. and their collection is just ridiculous.
So much good stuff, I want it all! You can also check out the collecting duo - Janet Morales & Stu Eli – and their love of collections on their blog. (found on facebook)

Kevin Cyr

I love the realism captured in the paintings of Kevin Cyr. I share a similar interest in graffiti, urban landscapes, vandalized vehicles, and dilapidated buildings – so Kevin’s statement really speaks to me:

“In a culture in which people are easily lured by the appeal of status-enhancing symbols, I find beauty in derelict cars and unkempt landscapes. I have always been interested in painting vehicles and scenes that have defined the evolution of the American landscape.”

Tim Gough

 Tim Gough is a Philadelphia based illustrator, designer, and publisher of a limited edition zine called Cut and Paste. He’s also Art Director for the Philadelphia Weekly. Tim was recently interviewed at the always inspiring, Grain Edit which uncovers Tim’s creative process, talks about his history, and offers some great advice for up and coming illustrators. He also just revamped his site with the help of interactive design studio, Well FEd, also based in Philadelphia

Beautiful new work from  Xavier Encinas— Art Director and Graphic Designer living and working in Paris, France. He is the Design Director of Under the influence and The lab as well as the founder and editor of Swiss Legacy.  Great photographer.

Joe Galbreath

For his Master’s thesis, Joe Galbreath investigated the forms, artifacts and aesthetics of Globe Poster printing. For 9 months he spent time at the shop organizing and analyzing artifacts, takling with the owners and iinvestigating the visual language of this prolific Baltimore institution.
This specimen sheet series attempts to collect and organize Globes vast library of original graphics by documenting a singular exploration of form or content. Each specimen was printed using the original blocks found by scouring drawers,  boxe s, shelves, cabinets and cubby holes around  the shop.
