JerseyThese fantastic stamp designs by Abram Games (1914-1996) were originally completed as poster series in 1974 for the Jersey tourist board. This stamp presentation set extended the theme and proved ideal promotion. The images convey a joyful spirit, providing Jersey with one of it's most effective tourist campaigns.

Edward Bawden

Edward Bawden (1903 – 1989) was a British painter, illustrator and graphic artist who is famous for his prints, book covers, posters & wallpapers. It's his prints that I'm really interested in though being from a printmaking background myself.His block prints are nothing short of impressive with his London and Brighton prints being especially strong works. This London Markets series from 1967 in particular caught my eye with their attention to detail and bold geometric compositions.

Siggi Eggertsson

This fantastic & totally hypnotic animation by Icelandic illustrator and graphic designer Siggi Eggertsson is an accumulation of 400 images created over the last six years.The kaleidoscopic showreel features parts of commissioned, rejected & personal projects all in Siggi's signature geometric/mosaic style. He also has an impressive back catalogue of at work worth a look at his site vanillusaft.com

AJ Fosik

I'm loving the work of American artist AJ Fosik. His strikingly original & beautiful wood sculptures of are amazing. With a street art background his work mixes bright colours and strong sense of pattern with varied influences including folk art and Indian deity imagery.

Also check out this short documentary of his work.

Miguel Gonzales Really nice illustrations on photographs by Venezuelan Architect & Illustrator Miguel Gonzales also known as M-lon.

Julian WolkensteinGreat horse portraits by award winning advertising photographer Julian Wolkenstein.

These certainly made me smile!

Andrew Holder

I love this set of limited edition prints by Andrew Holder for Arkitip Magazine. The set included illustrations - in Andrew's fantastically geometric style - of 4 Andre Balazs' luxuary hotels in the USA.

Kim Høltermand

Kim Høltermand is a Danish photographer who's main focus is on architecture. With a very sensitive colour palette his dramatic photographs have a very graphic & abstract quality and the atmospheric way in which he shoots his subject seems to turn the banal sublime.

Just thought I'd share some of my favourite pics from my flickr...

Stamps

Some great stamps by Israeli artist and designer Eliezer Weishoff. Released in 1975 these timeless designs are as effective and as relevant today as back then.
