Hyperkit
This London based studio pumps out some ass-kicking work.
To Do
Tina over at SwissMiss found this post-it installation by Illegal Art on her way to work in Dumbo. Pretty sweet.
Liten Ljus Lager
Found this at this blog while surfing the interweb. Great packaging design for this Swedish beer. Simple and graphic, I love it. I wish more brands would do stuff as good as this instead of slapping some ugly ass design onto their products. As least Coke is getting it.
Volcomics Poster
Volcom just released this amazing poster by Jim Phillips and Matt French. I can look at this thing for ours. The detail and the colors are just superb. They only made 200 of these so pick one up before they’re gone. I’m definitely adding this to my collection.
Now is your chance to own a piece of history. We have a few dozen limited edition posters leftover from the first Volcomics shows, that can now be yours for the low price of $100. They are 38 x 45 inches, 12-color screen printed black-light posters, all inked, color-seperated, press checked and signed by Jim Phillips and Matt French. There were only 200 posters made for our Volcomics Issue #1.
