Stereographic Illustration by Dain Fagerholm

 

Dain Fagerholm is an artist and illustrator who works for Getty Images up in Seattle, Washington.  He's exceptionally talented at making weird monsters in strange environment settings that loop endlessly in GIF form.  This alternative perspective that he creates for the viewer adds huge artistic value, where if I had to put a nail on his style, I would say its a cross between the characters from Puzzle Bobble and Where the Wild Things Are.

Meet brothers Don and Ryan Clark, who together form the design and illustration powerhouse Invisible Creature.  Working out of Seattle, Washington, they've been making posters, illustrations, and more recently, toys for an impressive clientele.  They've got a lot of cool stuff for sale on their online store, so be sure to click around.  We've been fans since 2010 -- you can check out our short post from a little ways back here.  But seriously, if you see anything that you like in this post, head over to the Invisible Creature shop, because it's probably for sale at a very reasonable price.  Support working artists!

Tasteful Silk Screenprints by Nat Damm

As designers, there are a few things that we like to see in a good poster.  For one thing, we like to see a good  balance in type/graphic proportions--typically a solid 20/80 ratio.  Secondly, we like to see that there is a cohesive feel to the poster overall. No awkwardness upon the eye allowed.  Empty gaps, too much going on, or anything else that detracts from an appealing canvas that shows what is meant to be showed should be left out.  As far as playing with the text goes, I think its pretty much anything goes, so long as everything is legible. Depending on what the designer is going for, be it a clean cut look or a worn down-textured feel, its always good to see interesting use of color selections and borders as well.

Based in Seattle, Washington, Nat Damm is a poster designer by trade,and has been involved with the Northwest music scene for some time now and has some really amazing work up on his site in addition to some cool shirt designs.
