All the Buildings in New York

Australian-born illustrator James Gulliver Hancock has always been in the practice of sketching out each city he visits. But when he moved to New York things weren’t so simple. He was overwhelmed. So the obvious thing to do was make an attempt at drawing every building in New York. He’s chronicling the process over on his blog and I love it.

PS: All of the drawings are available for purchase as prints.

11 Resolutions for 2011.

Andy Babb’s 11 Resolutions for 2011 postcard set plays off of the New Year’s resolutions people typically make. Working out more, drinking less, losing weight, you get the idea. Andy illustrated each one, then took it to the next level. On the reverse sides there are two options for carrying out your goal: Hi-Res (high hopes) and Lo-Res (cynical).

If you’d like to order a set of your own, Andy has been kind enough to offer a discount of 11% to all Design Crush readers. Simply use the code CRUSH. Thanks Andy!

Debbie Carlos.

I was first introduced to the work of Debbie Carlos about a month ago by Joslyn. What struck me (besides the lovely imagery) was that I recognized her printing technique but couldn’t put my finger on it. After checking out Debbie’s site I found out she was printing on a plotter, which is normally used for architectural drawings and the like. It’s a format I’ve used for some of my own work in the past and mentally sent out a high five in her direction.
