I Love Dust

Stunning photos by Jill Greenburg

Lately I have come across some awesome graphic design, illustration, and music. I think this awesome weather is what has been inspiring me to…get inspired again! You’ll notice that my winter posts were pretty pathetic…probably due to seasonal depression which seems to hit just around midwinter when you forget what it’s like to wear shorts.

To start off, check out these Hitchcock posters by Laz Marquez

Gez Fry

Fry’s graphic novel style illustrations are incredible. I love the rich colors and gradients.

Claire Kho

It’s hard to put Claire Kho’s style in a box. She does a lot of different work in motion art, illustration, and photography. The one piece of art that brought me to look her up is this one. It describes the evolution of the panda derived from the raccoon.

Darren Booth

I love the colors and textures Booth uses in his illustrations. What struck me, though, was how his art hints at cubism and how he uses this to define most of his portfolio.

Currently Listening to Janelle Monae

I hit a low with inspiration this past winter. I blame the weather and the fact that I have a major case of senioritis. I’m almost over the stress of college applications/decisions. I’ve gotten into all 5 schools I applied to (NYU, BU, Carnegie Mellon, Rutgers, and Temple). Now comes the hard part…deciding and getting the money to go!

Here’s an old and a new favorite

Aitor Throup

possibly THE coolest fashion illustrator out there.
