There’s something very beguiling about medical illustration reduced down to simple geometric shapes. Only in the 50’s could an advert for fabric whitener look like a minimalist techno record cover. This is a great book, full of beautiful work.

about LP
Ours friends over at Munson Industries Inc. just put us on to LP. These guys are doing great things from what Ive found on their site.
Keep it up, we love it!
At Living Proof™ we like to think of ourselves as a publication rather than a magazine. We’ve found that while the printed word can’t keep up with the computer screen and word spreads like the plague through ethernet cables, we’ll still release our own version of a “magazine.” Rather than just a mere trend report, we’ve cultivated Living Proof™ into a basic book of facts, knowledge, stories, and pretty pictures designed to easily slide between the Encyclopedia and the entire Pantone Library on a book shelf instead of winding up in the plastic casket that is a trash can. Best of all, Living Proof™ is completely free! Pick one up if you see one. It won’t cost you a cent. As a small format magazine (5″ x 7″) we’d rather turn up on counters and window sills in art galleries, apparel boutiques, and record stores than get fondled, shuffled, clustered, lost, skipped over, and rusty while jockeying for position in the wooden deathtrap that is the magazine rack at most bookstores.
As a creative, I am addicted to books about art and design. Grand Stand II is an incredible addition to our collection here at the studio. If you can find it, BUY IT!
Grand Stand II is the definitive resource on contemporary stand design worldwide. This double-volume publication, presents nearly 200 show-stopping brand and corporate fair presentations, scales ranging from small to large, with stunning photography accompanied by commentary including company profiles as well as information about the designers. The expansive scope of projects depicted from cover to cover reveal the increasing importance of fair stand design today and how designers play an essential role in visualizing the identity of brands into captivating corporate presentations.
If you’re not already familiar with his hand-drawn type from his awesome book “Hand Job,” Mike Perry is a Brooklyn-based artist who makes drawings, paintings, illustrations, magazines, newspapers, and clothing, as well as teaches whenever possible. He has worked with clients such as the New York Times Magazine, Dwell, Microsoft Zune, Urban Outfitters and Zoo York, to name but a few.
Doodling away night and day, Perry creates new typefaces and sundry graphics that inevitably evolve into his new work, exercising the great belief that the generating of piles is the sincerest form of creative process. His latest show of original items will feature a mixture screen-prints, original drawings, and watercolors.
In addition to creating illustrations for others, Perry has his own magazine entitled Untitled, which features his current work and interests and is in its third edition.
