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!

+ Talking Pictures: found photos with writing on them

+ Obsessing over the illustrated works of Erica il Cane.

+ Probably going to need some of Martha S.’s holiday paper tape since I’ve decided to go with kraft paper for wrapping gifts this Christmas.

+ Have you seen the new IKEA book?

+ Or the stop motion video behind the making of their cookbook, Homemade Is Best?

+ How about this typographic experiment video?

+ Loving these clean + minimal wallpapers for your iPhone.

+ Wishing I’d thought of this book idea first. I like biting.

+ If you’re feeling lazy this Thanksgiving, I have just the dish for you!

+ Does that not look like the most comfortable skirt ever??

+ Looking forward to making these Rainbow Fudge Pops next summer.

+ Mmmmm… mulled wine.
