Cuban film posters by Eduardo Muñoz Bachs

So simple, bold and striking. VERY NICE.

Stewart MacKinnon

One of my favourite illustrators, MacKinnon's surreal and beautiful drawings never fail to amaze me.

cuban book covers

a stunning collection of cuban book covers from the 60s/70s, mostly screen printed. Their bold illustrative styles and simply beautiful graphics  have been very inspiring during the course of a few projects this year - notably a competition entry for a BFI Film Classics book cover, and a self initiated project that attempted to depict the complex relationship that developed between the two main characters of Jim Jarmusch's film 'Stranger than Paradise'. Results of that project coming soon.

Sam Schubert

"tape drawings" by photographer Sam Schubert, who lives and works in Baltimore. I love her playful use of perspective to transform the insignificant and banal into something quite exciting indeed. See more of her work here. It's worth a look.

screen print love - patent pending industries

Patent Pending Industries is Jeff Kleinsmith and Jesse Le Doux making screen printed posters in Seattle. I've loved their work for a while, and I keep coming back to it for inspiration. The surreal imagery, their brilliant use of colour combinations and the effortless simplicity of composition all lead to these posters being completely irresistible.

Picador celebrates its 40th anniversary with the reissue of 12 modern classics. Here are a selection of the new book covers by their senior designer Neil Lang. The black and white paper-cut designs are right up my street. Amazing.
