Jessica Hische is not only an incredible designer, but incredible with type, and not only is she incredible with type, she’s an incredible illustrator. Anytime you start feeling like you’re something special or start becoming a prima donna, take a look at artists like her. Then you’ll realize you’ve got a long way to go. But she has been doing a type project since September of 09 where she creates a new drop cap every day. And they’re all uniquely different and equally beautiful. Five stars says me.

Dolan Geiman is one of my favorite artists. His 3-D work is incredibly inspiring to me. The amount of detail is incredible. Here’s a few shots I noticed recently.

Look what my beautiful and very talented wife made me for Valentine’s Day this year! This is a lino cut she made for me after watching me make one. First off, I have to give her props for being able to remember all the steps. And for her creativity. I love the design of the tree and the heart with our initials was such a creative touch. I was definitely blown away when I opened this.

I’ve been very impressed by the work of Kristina Brusa. I know absolutely nothing about her other than her site isn’t in English and her design skills are killer. Her work has been very inspiring. Here’s a few of my favs…

It has become a Suarez tradition to see a movie Christmas day. This year we were pleasantly surprised to see the very well crafted Sherlock Holmes. I’m glad it turned out well seeing that they spent an enormous amount of money on the advertising. When we were in NYC there were posters everywhere and even ads painted on the sides of brick buildings. Anyway, the movie was enjoyable but I was caught off guard by the incredible ending sequence. A mixture of watercolor, ink, pencil and live action created the visual feast that was the ending credits. They’ve finally shown up on the YouTubes and apparently they’re done by the same company that did the also phenomenal ending credits sequence to Iron Man. Glad to see this type of art is still making its way into movies. Taking the time and money to create creative beginning/ending sequences always add such a nice touch to movies but are so seldomly used.

This is a great little video I found of Milton Glaser drawing and lecturing. Milton Glaser is a very famous and prominent illustrator most known for creating the I heart NY which you can find on billions of t-shirts in Chinatown.
