I still wish I had kids to use the heck out of this service. But for now at least, there's this lovely poster.
The Hyrulean Book of Biology
A Zelda and Harper inspired piece by Andrew Kolb
Drawn! 2005-2013
The natural close of a good thing. John Martz lays it all out, and dagnabbit if it doesn't all make sense and make me sad to boot. Things are different now, but Drawn! was one of those places that lived comfortably in my reading favorites.
Russ McMullin’s Scratchboard Tutorial
I just got some scratchboard. Going to learn how to use it.

Beast of Burton
Mikey's collecting fine examples of bears. No, not that kind, the other kind.
Dan Cassaro
You might know this fella as the force behind The State Mottos Project, but he's more than a mastermind. I challenge you to find one piece of anything less than pitch perfect in his body of work.
Oliver Barrett
Linework extraordinaire. I have this idea in my head of a certain classic style, Oliver hits it. (and he's a damn fine designer to boot).
Junyi Wu, Dogs
I really like her style. / via Iain McGregor

Matt Stevens’ AirMaxes
I'd seen these visual interpretations of the Nike Air Max 1 during the tribute series, but the collection has since grown in even more wonderful ways. / via @madebyarchetype

Why He-Man and Skeletor are mortal enemies
Now that, is a birthday card.
Illustrated Celebrity Tweets
This concept of using your imagination works, I say. (and you don't even have to be a celebrity) /via guy.tumblr.com
What If: Famous Superheroes Had Beards?
Superheroes being a loose term. (via armstrongcircus + laughingsquid)
Art Vinyl’s sleeves of the year
My word it's almost December. Anyway, I can stare at that new Flaming Lips cover for very, very long moments trying to figure it out. Lots of solid choices on this list. (via yk)

I quite like these Friends With You posters
Even through cute-monster and hold-poster-while-showing-hands fatigue!
Lost Charley Harper Paintings Rediscovered
See 'em July 11th through August 8th in Cincinnati, then they'll travel the country. Very cool. Marking the calendar.
Rodrigo Fuenzalida : Birds
Illustration (and some process) with a dash of Charley Harper and Lucho Rodríguez.
Orba Squara took at 10 day roadtrip across the US to promote his new album
And the resulting site is a fantastic marriage of music, type, and image. Tis Flash, but worth it. (via Yewknee)

While checking out Zachariah O'Hora's sign design for Sage General Store in Long Island City, I not only enjoyed his work, I learned a few new words.

Either way, it's a great visit (via Frank Chimero)
