Job Wouters is a hand drawn master. I am truly jealous of the true skill shown by him drawing over 500 posters in this video.

How True

My good friend/classmate Will Bryant created this super neat/super true design. Look out for a t-shirt made out of this sweet gem sometime in the near future (hopefully!). Not only is he a super illustrator, but he is the only person in the universe that can make a rainbow gradient appealing. Check out his portfolio, and his etsy shop.

Plushie Tutorial

I have admired Evon Lim's plushies for a good while because they are so cute and unique. I was completely delighted to find that she had put up a tutorial for making this little alien critter posted above. Evon's plushies are stitched by hand, very detailed, and super well made. Check out her flickr for more pictures of more plushies. I am super excited to get some felt to make my very own tiny plush (after graduation of course). 

The Best Comic on Comic Sans.

I know this is really old but, I never tire of it.
