Luke Painter is a Toronto artist with some nice simply styled flash animations. I really liked the Fortress of Solitude animation. The green circles are great. I’ve been working with circles like that in my own art as of recent. See all of them and some wonderful drawing as well on his site.

This week’s Flickr Friday brings you the work of graphic designer, art director, freelancer, Michael Paukner. I’ve been a sucker for charts, graphs and diagrams lately so I was happy to find Michael’s work. See his photo stream here.

Jez Burrows is a young designer and illustrator living and working in Scotland. I love the simplicity of his work. Though it could be digital, pretty much anything you see online can be these days, his work appears to be hand printed and beautifully textured. You can see the softness of the paper in his rich colors. I posted the middle image because I did an illo for Poz Magazine a few years ago that had to do with itching. I really like Jez’s solution for the concept. Check out his site to see more.

Invisible Creature is a Grammy Award winning design firm that among other things does two things that I love. They use a lot of patterns and a lot of illustration. They also incorporate texture really well in their work. I spent a long time on their site and everything is good. Invisible creature has worked on everything from album artwork for the Foo Fighters to working with the blog Grain Edit (one of my favs).

Atomic bombs, puppets, dogs and a great song. This video looks poorly done at first and is seemingly random, but if you watch the whole thing it’s amazing. I don’t want to say too much. Make sure you watch it all the way through. It’s worth the eleven minutes. Keep you eyes peeled for  small details. You may want to watch it more than once.
