Wardrobe Snacks by Kelsey McClellan & Michelle Maguire
There’s been a bit of hubbub happening on the internet recently about a series of images whose subject matter entails snacks in laps. Have you seen them? They’re an aesthetically pleasing treat for the eyes and also make us very hungry every time we see them pop up. We’ve been thinking about them so much that we had to investigate who was behind them. After a little bit of research we discovered that the images are part of a personal, on-going project and collaboration between San Francisco-based photographer Kelsey McClellan and Columbus-based photographer, art director and...
A look at Tim Lahan's fun, colourful and positive illustrations
Tim Lahan is a graphic artist and illustrator based in New York that we can never seem to get enough of. His style and work is constantly shifting and surprising, and while he splits his time between commercial work and personal, from the outside it often feels difficult to distinguish between the two. Yep, he’s that good.
Tim’s drawings are witty, joyful and often damn funny. At any time his work encompasses drawing, painting, sculpture and self-publishing. And in the client department, from The New York Times to McSweeney’s and Kenzo to Nike, Tim’s got most...
Stark symmetry and bold comics from Cristina Daura
Cristina Daura is a Barcelona-based illustrator who has seriously caught our eye recently. Something about her work reminds us 90’s babies of our childhood. Maybe it’s the super flat colours and bright primary colours, alongside geometric patterns and strong characters. Despite the vivid colour palette and stark outlines, Cristina’s work still manages maintain strength and avoid coming across as naive which we think is a serious benchmark for that style!
Cristina’s work is created digitally, but we can see from her Instagram work-in-progress posts of her sketchbook that it’s still rooted in traditional mediums. Her drawings...

Chad Kouri investigates visual literacy with his art practice
Chad Kouri is a multidisciplinary artist and creative hailing from Detroit, now living and working in Chicago. We’ve recently discovered that Chad knows a thing or two about shapes and colour, and combining work and play.
Chad and art go back a long way. An early dyslexia diagnosis triggered a dense learning of and hyperawareness of letterforms and their anatomy, leading to a long obsession with typography. Although he still makes text based work from time to time, like his Art Advice Postcard Set, Chad now sets his focus on his fine art studio practice. He...
