Judit Garcia-Talavera

Yesterday we had a rep from Jed Root Agency visit our office to show the work of their illustrators. I was familiar with a few, but delighted to be exposed to some new artists. I love the work of  Judit Garcia-Talavera. I'm always drawn to ink drawings with a bright splash of watercolor. 

J.D. Salinger

Love this illustration done by Scott Laumann for New York Magazine. 

I equally love this article done by the Onion. What an appropriate way to commemorate him! 

Bunch Of Phonies Mourn J.D. Salinger



CORNISH, NH—In this big dramatic production that didn't do anyone any good (and was pretty embarrassing, really, if you think about it), thousands upon thousands of phonies across the country mourned the death of author J.D. Salinger, who was 91 years old for crying out loud. "He had a real impact on the literary world and on millions of readers," said hot-shot English professor David Clarke, who is just like the rest of them, and even works at one of those crumby schools that rich people send their kids to so they don't have to look at them for four years. "There will never be another voice like his." Which is exactly the lousy kind of goddamn thing that people say, because really it could mean lots of things, or nothing at all even, and it's just a perfect example of why you should never tell anybody anything.

Argyle Asp

If i had a snake, I would want him to be argyle. From Grayhood.

Parra

I just adore the designer/illustrator Parra. I saw this cover of Flaunt Magazine a while ago:

I also have this cute little I-Pod protective (and stylish!) case that my former boss gave to me: 

Beyond that, check out some of his other work. He (I think Parra is a man?) is represented by the Agency Big Active and all these images came from their site, including this fun little video below:

Falling August

Let me just be a little honest with you this morning, when it comes down to it, I am a horse person. Horses were my very first true love and nothing made me happier than being around them. Combine that with my later love in life, art, and you get the work of Michael Zavros. I love this image soooooo much:

iTunes Genius

Not only do I love iTunes genius for when I'm feeling lazy (although I'm a pretty great DJ on my own, I must admit) but I just realized how pretty the visuals are - it creates mini collages of your album covers. Oh iTunes, j'adore!
