January to March 2010, originally uploaded by wil_freeborn.

Great work from Wil Freeborn - take a look at the detail and colour full size. Well worth a look through the rest of his Flickr stream.

Drypoints, from Minu

My Jumper, originally uploaded by sissT.

This new series of drypoint prints from Minu are just lovely. Great characters, and beautiful printing. See more on her Flickr.

Tom Gauld - Robot 22

Another lovely robot, this time created with Odosketch.

Rob Ryan. Yes, again.

Bristol's Soma Gallery brought some lovely lovely new prints to my attention. (How is this guy not writing songs?)

Apak

Some psychedelic cuteness from Apak. Available to buy on Etsy. They're also featured on the, erm, charming, Charming Wall gallery.

Beau Ideal Editions Calendar

A gorgeous new calendar from Beau Ideal just popped up on my reader. Hand screen printed in limited edition, it's slightly pricey at $48 plus delivery but there's obviously a lot of work and love gone into it. A simple idea that's been designed really consistently and effectively, with loads of yummy hand-drawn type. Yep yep.

Light Graffiti.

This is just waiting to be ripped off by an ad agency and/or music video. Look out for the horse (or maybe dog?) walking through the car park. That's my favourite :) There are some great still photos here. Found via this good effort from Alistair. (My efforts unfortunately went quickly downhill once the ratio of alcohol consumed overtook the level of inspiration, combined with my little camera giving you about 1 second to complete your masterpiece. Will have to give it another go now I have a more flexible camera, and sober friends!)

Helen Dardik

I found Helen Dardik's blog and portfolio site today via Print Pattern, and it's fantastic! I can't believe I hadn't seen it before. She has a really exciting style and great use of colour and hand-drawn typography - see the bits I pinched from her website above.

Si Scott

I can't believe I missed this exhibition - it's right up my street. Luckily Si Scott has a fantastic website with a selection of his Ink & Lyrics exhibition work and lots more besides. The full picture above really doesn't do Black Swan justice, so here's a detail too...

For lots more (and much bigger) images check out his website. Lovely.

Fifi Lapin

Fifi Lapin. Rabbit. Fashion lover. Ossie Clark appreciator. Myxamatosis survivor. Haress (yes that is spelled right).

Hair Portraits

Mr Bingo's famous Hair Portraits. Available from a Mr Bingo near you. Or should that be Mr Bizzle? How mysterious.

Steven Harrington

Steven Harrington prints fantastic posters - get one on his website before they all sell out! Quick!
