Noteworthy Artists

I look at lots of blogs. And by that I really do mean lots of blogs. In the process, I come across so many great artists and designers, and I don't really have the time or energy to feature all of their work individually and in depth on my blog! So today I thought I'd do a quick roundup of some good work by artists I've come across in my blog reading lately. I'm just featuring bits of their work, so in putting these things on my blog, I'm only endorsing what I post and not necessarily their whole sites.

Adrian Johnson does some really nice illustration work. I love these ads, especially the colors and use of white space.

Wonderful layered colors in this one. I like it!

The retro look in this piece is great, and the gray background is a win in my book (you know I love gray!).

Talk about typography galore! James T. Edmonston's work is quite good. Here's one swirly one with his name in it. It looks very professional.

Even this simple numeral is neat. I like the yellow used as an accent color.

He has also designed several fonts, one of which is Wisdom Script. Very cool and retro looking!

The collage work by Martin O'Neill I saw is really neat. The colors and all the many textures in this one are great.

I love the typography in this one. It's a favorite!

Here's one more piece that I really love. What a cool idea to use Rolodex card shapes for a collage! I think maybe I want to try this...

What do you think of these artists' work? I'd love to hear which things you like the best.
