I been trying to find some crisp shit for a minute, and truthfully, it seems like DIY/EveryonesDoingItMultiPattern/Floruo/IllustratorTracedGifs/PeepGame/I-used-to-have-a-throwup, type designs aint quite cracking anything for me. Anyone seeing anything really interesting right now? The dudes I like are mostly dudes that are on here or associated in some way.... but I guess I am really looking for stuff outside this camp. Burlesque/Mike26/119/Staple/StuggleInk/SixPack/ect... Design Homies. What is good for 2007? Run your bookmarks folders batches.

I'm also feeling very uninspired lately. However, I do often check for these dudes:

A little trendy- but very clean. In general, I'm trying to get away from the computer. Anything I can scan in unadorned is what I'm looking to do in the '08. (2007 is already played out.)
There's some intersting videos on youtube, if you're into this kinda thing.
One of my favorites is this one. Simple design but with good color selection is really shines.
This one too.
Ithink that's the same dude i was thinking about. amazing.
Yeah he's got some gooduns. One of my favorites:

This site has been in my bookmarks for a while and has a similar style. Any relation between the two?

That handstyle video is just bonkers, bonkers.
Looks a lot like Font or Marco to me.

That is quite a body of work. I want to know the time frame between all 167 of these. Mighty impressive.
This reminds me of a piece I saw on a train the other day. Some dude hit up his name in the center of a car. It was a simple name like Simon or Dewey and it was spelled out in the shape of tree trunks. Each letter was individually spaced and for a second I thought it was the actual name of the boxcar company. I really wish I had my camera for that one...

I guess I should let people know who she is. Her name is Noele Lusano, and her work can be seen here:
http://www.quadrantgrove.net/
She does travel a bit, so she might be in Europe for all I know.
Feel free to tell her "J*hn B**k recommended you", if you decide to take her on for a photo project.
but what do you guys do with these links? how do you incorporate the designs into something youre doin?
just curious.
If there are designers in this forum, they can be inspired and either be influenced to do something similar, OR go directly to them and give them work.
I look at them in awe and get inspired to keep designing.
