For Office Use Only is a graphic and interactive design studio hailing from NYC. First discovered their work back in 2004 – we are 10 years later – they are steady holding pace.
Vast difference? More experience and expertise warranted garnering high-end cultural mostly entities and projects.
They are good. Very very good.

Jon Juarez is not a writer but does storyboard his ideas. He is not a writer but uses words to ‘dream’ into images.
His sources of inspiration are seemingly unrelated: word lookups – internet research – space pictures – geology – clothing, etc.
He is not chaotic but most illustrations have a high density of chaotic elements and repeated patterns.
His world is one where ink and pencils exert a benevolent tyranny. The urge to express his ‘space’ is rich and deep.

The dazzling portfolio of Olaf Hajek – born in Germany and hopping between London and NYC – is as colourful as it is diversed in disciplines, topics, industries – he is commissioned for.
He’s done it all: author, editorial covers, art shows (he paints too), packaging, window dressing installations, etc.

Souther Salazar artwork transports the viewer into a vibrant and endless world of overlapping narratives and dreamscapes — half-remembered, half-imagined places “where stories can develop and take on a life of their own.”
I love to be transported in the realm of impossible possible – a profound trait of being a child – and a defining quality of a creative adult.
