Adhemas Batista is absolutely one of my favorite illustrators, and he’s updated his site with some beautiful new work. He’s added a couple photos to the about section, and it appears that he has set up shop in Los Angeles with a new studio called Magenta. Hopefully that means we’ll be seeing a lot more work out of him.

Rich, warm portraits. I’m buying one of these (as soon as a little cash comes in the door). I’m really curious about how they’re made. They have a real organic feel to them, but the backgrounds look like they might be from photographs. Enjoy, I clicked on every single thumbnail. You should too. byroglyphics

Found via Milky Plastique. New find, nice blog. Seems to have covered a bunch of stuff that we’ve covered at WeAreSharks, but loaded with other goodies too.

My absolute favorite illustrator Adhemas Batista just updated his website with some new work. Nobody paints on top of photography better than Adhemas. These are full on illustrations. He doesn’t skimp on the color. If you’re looking for subtle, look elsewhere because these illustrations are luxurious.

He’s a rockstar in the illustrating world, and a bit of a rockstar in the rockstar world (He’s the recording artist Tycho). I like Scott Hansen because his rock posters don’t use any clip art and they don’t use any non-sequitur imagery. Don’t get me wrong, I love today’s trend in rock posters, but ISO 50 is a breath of fresh air in the over-saturated…

The last two posts led me to Brazil Inspired, a cool website featuring brazilian designers. Who is the first poster on their newsfeed? Misprintedtype (from two posts ago). I follow the link. I find Felipe Guga. He doesn’t have a lot of info on his site. I don’t know anything about him. I do know – kid can draw. I mean – kid can seriously draw.

His fonts have practically defined the last few years. You’ve seen Porcelain and Selfish all over, I think Old Navy used Rosewood. Download the entire set at his website. While you’re at it, download his Photoshop brushes as well. They put something in the water down there, cause the Brazilians got it going on. See it at MisprintedType.com

Organic aesthetic is really hard to pull off without looking cheap. His client list should be the envy of any designer. MTV, Dwell Magazine, Saatchi & Saatchi, Nylon Mag, Polyvinyl records. He’s got a new book coming out called Hand Job, a catalogue of hand drawn typography which I’m itching to get my hands on.

They make bespoke wall murals. Pick your print, and send them the dimensions of your wall, and they send you your mural. There’s a bunch of retro-eque images. Think sunset wallpaper, but awesome. The website is also pretty cool, if a bit jarring. Nice use of liquid flash layout.
