LOVE the typographic treatments done by Alexander Egger aka Satellites mistaken for stars. He has a knack for out-there experimental lay-outs and grids that are near non-legible – and on the other hands he creates minimalist signage that says it all.

_______
The multiple editorial projects he was involved with – attest to his ability to reinvent books – or perhaps better said – how we read.
Expect the unexpected.

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.

Brian Rea is the former art director for the Op-Ed page of the New York Times. He has produced drawings and designs for books, murals, fashion, posters, music videos, and magazines around the world.
