Quirky illustrations, zines and posters from Rand Renfrow. He hit the nail on the head with It Seems Like It’s Missing Something — an illustrated book of quotes collected from people’s humorous encounters with outsiders to the design and art world; a collaboration with Shaun Fox. I bet the designer who has these sort of clients are tearing their hair out instead of laughing when told the same thing!
Beautiful watercolour illustrations from Christine Pym who studied Illustration for Children’s Publishing at the North East Wales Institute in the UK. She’s illustrated one book entitled The Tail of the Whale which will be out soon! I love how she talks about achieving a balance between your own vision and what the market wants in this blog post of hers on her experience after she graduated from university.
This week’s sponsor giveaway comes from Bread of Many, a paperie shop run by Haley Dolan Katko. Tired of the same old boring items she sees everywhere, she took matters into her own hand and created a unique line of paper goods that combined her love of imagination, humor, and fantastic realism by way of hand-lettering and original illustrations.
Just comment by 9th March to be in the running, and you might win a pack of 5 Wussup flat note cards + envelopes from Haley!
UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks so much for participating. The winner of this giveaway is Amanda Howland.
