Illustrated Type Artist Spotlight: Brendan Monroe

A Californian based in Sweden, Brendan Monroe is someone who is curious about the way things work. His artwork is half inspired by science and half by speculations on dreams. His paintings are filled with blood cells, misshapen globs and, once in a while, hydrogen atoms. He invents imagined mindscapes and sculpts inquisitive wooden figures.

For Illustrated Type, Brendan experimented with shaping cherry veneer, and painted its surface with acrylic. The result is a super slick, gorgeous ‘W’, inspired by all forms of electromagnetic waves—visible light, X-rays, AM, FM radio.

See this gorgeous letterform up close in just 5 DAYS! See you Saturday!

Illustrated Type refreshments!

We're on a baking rampage! Here are pictures from a recent ginger cookie alphabet (+ some stars and hearts) taste test, in preparation for this Saturday's opening reception. Get ready for some treats! We'll also be serving up RGB jello shots (cherry, lime, berry blue).

Any fun design puns to share? We'd love to hear them; we're brainstorming drink names at the moment!

Illustrated Type Artist Spotlight: Happycentro

Based in Verona, Italy, design studio Happycentro has worked with both large and small clients, for local agencies and major international companies. They've been featured in Playful Type 2, 3D Typography, Type Player, and Graphic Magazine, and have delved into visual art, typography, graphic design, illustration, animation, film direction, and even music!

Their Illustrated Type piece, Typografly, is a stunning, impressive combination of origami, graphic design, and typography. It follows the tracks of "Paper Objects," a project made from 6 abstract origami forms, texturized with CMYK colors used in the printing process. The letters that define space—X, Y, Z—are presented inside a glass reliquary, as butterflies.

See this, along with 50+ letterforms (!!!), next Saturday!

Illustrated Type Artist Spotlight: Pomme Chan

Born and educated in Bangkok, Pomme Chan completed her BA in Interior Design at Silpakorn University before working at the Bangkok offices of both WPP’s DY&R and Grey as a graphic designer. In 2002 she relocated to the UK for a Foundation in Graphic Design and Communication at the London College of Communication.

Over the past five years, her drawings have featured in The TelegraphIDN, Grafik, Curvy Book and FT magazines, and she has worked on prestigious ad campaigns for the likes of Sony, MTV, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Marc Jacobs, Microsoft, The Guardian, Nike and Topshop.

Using her unique hand-drawn skill, Pomme’s eclectic style gets its inspiration from everyday life. Nature, fashion, architecture and the female form play a big part in her works. Pomme is also passionate about typographical illustrations, several of which appeared in La Perla Magazine, a cover for Digital Arts Magazine and New York Times Magazine, among others.

You might remember Pomme's work from last year's Line of Style show. Here's her screen print for Illustrated Type! Check out that gorgeous, vibrant purple...in person! The show's exactly one week away!
