Today I have an interview with the very talented Hannah Stouffer. I’ve featured her work here several times, mostly because I’m an unabashed fan of her stunning personal work, as well as the staggering amount of commercial work she produces. There is so much I like about her work, from the incredible colors, to the [...]
This week I was lucky enough to spend an hour on the phone with George Lois, a veritable legend in the worlds of design, art direction, and advertising. A New Yorker of Greek heritage, in 1959 Lois worked for the Doyle Dane Bernbach advertising agency for just a year before branching out to found one [...]
Dan Cassaro is a talented designer and typographer who operates under the moniker YoungJerks. I recently got in touch to see if he’d be interested in doing an interview, and if you read on, you’ll see he’s not a jerk at all, not even a little bit. Far from it. Aside from having an incredible [...]
I met Matzu way back in 2003, at the dream so much 2 group show in Chinatown, NYC. His incredible work was displayed alongside that of Kenji Hirata, James Marshall (DALEK). and Sandro Tchikovani (MISK). The following year, jeffstaple exhibited his work on the walls of The Reed Space, while I was working there. At [...]
Benjamin Escobar, perhaps better known as Benjie Hundreds, is an incredibly talented, largely self-taught designer who heads up the design department at The Hundreds. This means amongst other things, he’s responsible for dozens of graphics each season, as well as working closely with collaborative artists and guest designers of all sorts. I think this job [...]
I first noticed the work of CRYPTIK up around Venice mid-last year, and have been noticing the steadily growing presence of his posters and stickers on the streets of LA since. I posted up photos of his Buddha posters, and Nima from DG kindly clued me in to the name of the artist. Then CRYPTIK left [...]
If you pay attention to the T-shirt game, you’re almost definitely aware of the work of Experimental Jetset, even if you don’t know it. In 2001, the Dutch trio created the iconic “John & Paul & Ringo & George” T-shirt for 2k by Gingham, as well as similar graphics based on the Rolling Stones and [...]
When I met Dalek in 2003, ostensibly for Mass Appeal #24, I was already a huge fan of his work. I was just tuning into contempory/post-graffiti/outsider art and at the time, his colorful and perfectly round Space Monkeys, with their glassy eyes, and occasionally wielding little knives, really spoke to me. Mass Appeal sent me to [...]
I’ve been aware of Anthony Harrison’s work in the clothing industry for some time, having retailed his old label Rinse & Repeat at Digital Gravel several years ago. I must say I wasn’t really aware of just how much work he does for other brands though. My friend J DeBeck aka Selector JD put me [...]
Danny Reyes is the man behind one of my favorite labels, The Lovewright Company. As part of the well-respected F.I.S.M. collective, it’s no surprise that there is a certain style and quality of design that appeals to me. I can’t say that about many brands, and I think it’s because of Danny’s solid aesthetic and [...]
