Nathan Schroeder is a graphic designer from Appleton, Wisconsin with an interesting Flickr set of sci fi futurescapes that he's made.  The abstract geographical feel with the warm and dark colors work quite well together.  He's also a Pastor.

Restaurant Menu Item Designs by Russell Pritchard

Russel Pritchard is an undergraduate graphic design student at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee who has an impressive portfolio, but I'm passing his other more professional work for his really cool restaurant menu item poster designs.  He packs some appealing font play and illustration work in promoting food items at a few local eateries, which I think is a great idea that you don't see a lot of these days.  Usually you see poorly constructed Times New Roman standard menu prints with clip art that the restaurant owner's son put together in 5 minutes to present customers with.  Russel disagrees with those kinds of menus.  Presentation is everything, from the food to the design.  Quality always wins.
