Soft&Furry Launch

I just caught wind of what sounds like a very cool project in the form of a logo competition for Soft&Furry. Be sure to check back in a few days when designs start going up or get working on a few yourself. Here is a little description:

"SOFT&FURRY™ is a project dedicated to creativity and collaboration. The premise behind S&F™ is to elicit participation in an alternative logo design competition. The winning logo will adorn the packaging and other associated elements of an all new, fully custom, handmade line of designer collectible toys."

Impactist

I was introduced to a lovely blog today called Lost and it is full of wonderful things. Impactist is one of these things and is the collaborative work of married directors Kelly Meador and Daniel Elwing. I love the way the building washes out into the sky in the image above.

Erik Nordenankar - Biggest Drawing in the World

Erik Nordenankar used the help of GPS and DHL to create the Biggest Drawing in the World.

Update: Erik's project has been receiving a lot of discussion and had to add a little note to his site. Turns out it was his graduation project and is fictional in that DHL never delivered the package. I still think it is a well done project, especially for generating the buzz it did.

Lucy McLauchlan - Beat13

Beat13 was founded by Lucy McLauchlan and and Matt Watkins in Birmingham in 1999. Their site says it best. "It all began with drawing. Musical instruments next. Then came the computers. Making friends, music, and things happen are our favourite hobbies." This is also an article in the June Juxtapoz about Lucy and her work.

Three Bears Design

Charlie Wagers from Three Bears Design was kind enough to send me an email today introducing me to their work. "We are a multi-disciplined graphic design company who specifies in work for the entertainment industry." They do indeed have some nice work in a variety of styles and I really love the apparel graphics above. Be sure to check out the portfolio of Three Bears Design.

Colagene is an illustrators representation clinic and the guide book features the work of 18 superb illustrators including Coco who I have featured before.
