A brief history of Greg Durrell.

Once upon a time in a land that stretched from sea to shining sea, a boy dreamed the same dream every night. He dreamed of a world of clean lines, flat surfaces and simple forms. He dreamed of a society whose machines mimicked the efficiency of nature. He dreamed of a land where beauty lay in creativity, and achievement was measured by innovation. He dreamed of a world where everybody had brand new biodegradable socks every morning and V8 juice came out of the taps instead of water. He dreamed of a place where peace was inevitable because love was in every image, every glance and every action. And every morning when he woke up, he set to work making his dream come true.

Work completed at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games was under the design direction of Leo Obstbaum and VP of Brand & Creative Services Alison Gardiner. A Special thanks to Cory Ransom for helping photograph the work.

“I´ve been drawing since I was little. At school I had notebooks filled with drawings instead of notes. I used to tattoo my buddies with a black ink pen. I used to draw on any kind of surface when I was bored… I believe its what I do best. Its also the best way for me to comunicate things I cant find words for… Its a theraphy, its a hobbie, its a job,its what makes me happy.” Eduardo Recife

Hello, I’m ZSO. (On paper you may also know me as Sara Blake.) I’m an Interactive Art Director, Designer, and Illustrator living and loving in New York City.

ZSO (pronounced |zō|) is a collection of letters that I find aesthetically and phonetically beautiful. Together they make sound much like “so,” the adverb which means “to such a great extent.” I am a person of extremes, for better or worse (most often the latter), so the ring of it was fitting, and the moniker has since stuck for good.

I graduated from New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study with a concentration in Graphic Art and Postmodern Studies—I’ve been working in design and art direction ever since.

These days you can find me at Euro RSCG where I focus on digital design. But by night I also double as an illustrator for clients such as Yen Magazine, The KDU, Hurley, SGCNY, and Koko & Me. I’ll also be having my very first solo gallery show at Friends of Leon Gallery in Sydney, Australia, September 2010.

New works from Mogollón

Mogollon is a multidisciplinary art direction studio founded in 2004. Mogollon was conceived by Francisco Lopez and Monica Brand with the objective of joining talents to produce alluring imagery across virtually every platform.

The studio’s expertise spans in the fields of fashion, music, editorial, magazines, design, films and videos among others.

Our services include: art direction, branding, graphic design, typography, illustration, motion graphics, set design and web presence.

Mogollon / (mo-go-yon) / Spanish slang word for Plenty or Abundance. Commonly used to signify “a lot,” e.g.,“I like you mogollon.”

BIO

In 2004, we were invited to direct a film documenting the construction of an architectural installation to be exhibited at the courtyard of PS1/MoMA. We knew each other from Boston (our Art Schools were next to each other), but it wasn’t until we moved to New York that we became closer friends and started working collaboratively.

The documentary became our first work experience together. We spent two months shooting and editing what ended up being a 10-minute video piece later exhibited at PS1/MoMA. During the process of making the video, we discovered that we had many things in common: our love for film, music, design, fashion, and art. We also shared the need to create crafted and provocative work that wasn’t constrained to any specific media, which could be both artistic and commercial. And so, Mogollon was born in Brooklyn, NY in 2005, as an art direction studio where artistic expression often meets with the commercial palette of the global community at large.

In the following years, Mogollon has developed into a boutique-style art direction studio that produces powerful and iconic work across virtually every platform. We continue to art direct and consult with brands and individuals around the globe. The work of Mogollon has been featured in prestigious books and magazines such as “Tactile” and “Neo Geo” by Die Gestalten, Grafik Magazine, Communication Arts and Etapes Magazine, just to name a few.

New works from VanilaBcn

Carlos Jimenez and Roger Gual were born in May 1983. Both met studying graphic design on Elisava Design School eighteen years later and, after working in diferent studies during two years, they decided to work together founding Vanila Barcelona to develop their own projects.
They love old school graphics, western typographies and all kind of “folklore”. Both like the food from Sevilla and the breaking waves of Laguna Beach. They missed the time when “Saved by the Bell” was on tv.
Freehand will never die.

Hello. My name is Andres Guzman. I have spent most of my youth in Denver, Colorado but am originally from Lima, Peru. I graduated from the Minneapolis College of Art + Design where I majored in illustration and took much interest in graphic design. I try not to limit myself by any specific visual style as I believe there are too many beautiful methods and processes in the world of art to settle on just one. I hope I can inspire with my work as much as I have been by others.

Cuypi aka Sebastien Cuypers
is a french graphic designer and illustrator. Born in 1980 and got used to drawing from early childhood on, in his works typography adds to the motif to make it complete but at the same time acts as an autonomous and stand-alone feature of the layout. He handles letters like characters, allowing for their own and strong expression. Cuypi’s designs are not bound to one single medium, he is working as a graphic designer for a communication agency as well as designing for skateboards and customizing vinyl toys. Besides that he has a particular affinity to T-Shirt design which he calls his ‘first love’. He likes the way shirts are transmitting a message or a mood according to place and situation and sees an artist designed shirt as a kind of living support for self-expression.
