In a year of collaborative graphic projects, July brings us MOMENTUS. Created and curated by Evan Stremke, MOMENTUS has brought together a select group of designers, illustrators, and artists to visually represent the most defining moments in US history. A new submission will be released on the site Mondays through Thursdays until the end of the July.

Freelance illustrator Owen Davey teamed up with Orange: The Feed to create a series of 33 plates, each depicting an ordinary event of the general public during the hype and lead-up to England’s royal wedding. I have to say, as much as I loved watching the pomp and circumstance of the event I much prefer Davey’s tongue in cheek plates to the tacky commemorative atrocities for Will and Kate.

Have you seen Carolyn Sewell’s Postcard to My Peeps? It’s full of killer hand-drawn type and snark.

Cookbooks without imagery bug me. As in I won’t buy them. Cookbooks with photos are good, cookbooks with illustrations are better. Communal Table is a new series of cookbooks about sharing the love gathering together to eat. Book One focuses on casual settings with a great list of contributors and illustrated by Caroline Hwang. Even better (as if that were possible), proceeds for the series will be donated to a food-related organization. Book One is supporting Philadelphia-based non-profit The Food Trust. {via oh joy!}

Dana Tanamachi is an incredible designer across the board, but what makes me quite literally squeal with delight is her chalkwork. Because wow, the girl has mad skills. (And perhaps an immunity to chalk dust. ACHOO!)
