Mr Bingo
Quite possibly the funniest illustrations around. Mr Bingo has a full site update with old work viewable in the archive. Via IT’S NICE THAT
Digital Temple Magazine
Digital Temple magazine is up to issue number five. Well worth a browse if you’ve got a few minutes. It’s full of some really great graphics and photography work. It has a nice interview with Sean Freeman in there and is full of triangle type niceness!
Mistakes Are Beutiful
Mistakes are Beautiful is a recently formed freelance group working day and night producing fine illustrations and animations for the love of design. Can’t find much else about these guys but the style seems a hybrid of the organic and technical. I’ve also got a feeling they may be from Birmingham. They have some very...
Andrew Holder
Loving the illustrations of Adrew Holder. Although he has a very distinct style his illustrations are vary varied in nature and in presence. His site is well worth a look around..
Able Design
I’ve been meaning to post about Able Design for a while now. They seem to be a mix of vintage style illustration and modern print. That coupled with some nice work for institutions such as universities and churches, seems to be a very balanced studio! Top work.
Janine Rewell
Sexy print and illustration from Helsinki. Janine Rewell treads the line between playful yet elegant very well, and her illustrations are colourful, abstract and beautiful. Just what I needed to see when finishing up the day!
Nonaine
I’m enjoying the fun, retro, constructivist style of Nonaine. Some great eye candy that could be turned into some excellent posters.
Aimee Wilder
Aimee Wilder has some awsome illustrations. Check out her wallpaper range and her illustrated Vans range. I want a pair!
Jesse Auersalo
The illustration work of Jesse Auersalo is really hitting the spot. Something rather different to the norm!
EightHourDay
Katie from EightHourDay got in touch to tell me about their update. Some really nice work and playful illustrations. I’m a sucker for nice information design so I love their target career icons (pictured below).
Dry
Got an email from the guys at Dry about their new website/identity project for screen printers Bob Eight Bob (pictured below). They have a really varied body of work with some really interesting content. They seem to straddle the line of quirky illustrations mixed with wonderfully crisp design and finishing skills very well indeed. I...
Girls who draw
Yee got in touch to tell me about Girls who draw’s new postcard book. Its a wonderfully illustrated gem that only costs £5 and it’s here just in time for Christmas. Go on, treat yourself!
Yulia Brodskaya
Yulia Brodskaya kindly gave me some pictures of her simply fantastic paper based type and illustrations. So intricate and fluid. I love it!
Dust
Sheffield based studio Dust has some really nice print and illustration work. The website is a pif to navigate around though!
Jasper Goodall
After posting about Sanna Annukkas’ gorgeous illustrations, I was informed by Mark from Surely that she is Jasper Goodalls finance! Imagine that design powerhouse duo? Sanna working for clients like Keane, Jasper working for Muse and Nike. Match made in heaven I say! Anyway, some super illustration and stencil work from this trend setter.
Jim O’Raw
It gives me great pleasure to see my good friend Jim O’Raw, or Jim-Bob as I like to call him, finally has his site online. I’ve watched Jim’s work progress over the years through many different styles to what his work is today. At the moment he’s using a lot of print/photocopying techniques to some...
Sanna Annukka
Massive portfolio of really cool illustrations from Sanna Annukka. Really love her clean, minimal and rather colouful style. Yes.. she also did all the cool Keane artwork.
Jay Cover
As one quarter of the Nous-Vous collective (more on those crazy cats at a later date), Jay Covers work relies mainly on illustration to get his witty, funny, colourful and sometimes down right ludicrous ideas across. His work never fails to put a smile on my face, and he’s a great guy to boot. Check...
Plan-B studio
Really broad portfolio of work from Plan-B studio, for a range of clients over a range of media. I really love how for their work for DIESEL they state: “Various projects for Diesel that aren’t going to win design awards, but most were carried out under extreme deadlines. Some design isn’t always just about shining...
Jack Noel
Really funny and quirky illustrations from Jack Noel. I really love his Pete Doherty in formaldahyde illustration (pictured below). His calling card hits my funny bone as well! You sexy boy Jack!
Lionel Fahy
Reading We Made This’ post about graphic design tattoo’s made me think of the work of French tattoo artist (or body illustrator) Lionel Fahys’ work. His style is like nothing I’ve ever seen. its simple, fun, quirky and damned right original. The images are a bit harsh on the eyes but this was all I...
Alex Turvey
The words “Shit” and “Hot” come to mind when looking at the work of Alex Turvey, designer, illustrator, director amongst other things!!!! He’s worked for all the big boys and even designed a Sugar Puffs box with Daisy Lowe. Check him out.
Bastard Graphics
I’ve been a bit behind on writing mr bloggy wog over the last few days, hopefully today I can play big time catchup! First off is a designer/art director I came across on The Seif. Julien Rivoire (a.k.a Bastard Graphics) is a designer that really makes me smile. His work is colourful, simple and playful....

Chris Gray
After seeing Chris Greys‘ Illustration for the Freitag truck I decided to investigate him further. I’m so glad I did. For someone of his age, he has a massive body of work and has worked with lots of big clients. I really like his simplistic approach to his illustration work, so playful.
