Children’s books can have such a positive impact on learning life lessons, as well as the memories children will have, so its important to pick the right ones. This one, by the rad husband and wife team, Eight Hour Day, is one everyone should definitely keep around for their kids. The story centers around Eli, their lovable dog, who likes to get in to trouble quite often. Through all of his antics, the reader learns about unconditional love. Aside from the story, the best part about a book written by these designers, is that you also get their wonderful illustrations. See more of the book after the jump and get more info about the book here.
The illustration work of Dan Matutina, a.k.a. Twisted Fork, is fantastic. I came across Dan’s site by accident today, and three hours later I have finally pulled my bloodshot eyes away from the screen. I find myself enamored by every single piece. See for yourself, go to twisted fork.
Shaun wrote about the Phraseology Project earlier this year, and in case you haven’t been following it since, you’re missing out on a lot of beautiful type designed around user submitted sayings. This is my favorite of the recent additions to the collection, though “Thank You” and “Tweet” are cool too. See more after the jump, or follow along on their blog.
Eric Barclay is a fantastic illustrator, but his collection of random painted objects, that are made in to, well, cute objects, are awesome. I love the use of shape to help accentuate the characters. For the first few objects, he included the pre-painted objects for reference. Check out his blog and his portfolio.
As the regular cowboy-hat-wearer at PUBLIC SCHOOL, its my legal obligation to share all things western related with you on the blog. Today’s western related thing is this cool set of animations for the iPhone game Ready Steady Bang. The game is a super simple, yet nicely produced Western Shootout game. Check out the cutely morbid video after the jump, then go buy the game. It’s an addicting one, especially with two players.
Hat tip to Dave Schwab for pointing it out to me.
