Sometimes you see a photograph of a city and it makes you want to visit. Sometime I see an illustration and it makes me wish I could live in that world. The work of Borja Bonaque makes me feel that way. His simple cityscapes are interesting and have been in the New Yorker as well as Wallpaper.

You can normally find me firmly in a pro-NASA stance. I grew up in the southeastern suburbs of Houston where NASA’s Johnson Space Center is situated so space travel and being an astronaut was all of our aspirations until midway through high school when cynicism struck the idea dead. That being said, I may want to be a cosmonaut now. Jeremy Geddes’ painting sure do make being one look fun and lofty.

Matthew’s work is pretty interesting in that he’s shooting real things recreated as really small things. He meticulously creates tiny scenes and then photographs them.
Check out the rest here.
For the second in my series on creatives we dig and what they look like, I wanted to showcase those The Decoder Ring folks. Pictured are Christian Helms on the left and Paul Fucik on the right. Paul felt the need to dress it up a little so added a homemade tie while I was photographing Christian.
We joke about getting “photo envy” when looking at certain photographer’s work, but The Decoder Ring consistently gives everyone up here at PUBLIC SCHOOL “design envy”. From their BBQ flavored poster that Cody picked up at Flat Stock to the slew of classic Modest Mouse posters, this little shop of designers is amazing.
Did I mention hot dogs? Oh yeah, Christian happens to be the Creative Director of a fancy little hotdog shop in downtown Austin called Frank. While you’re enjoying a cold Pearl and feasting on some artisan sausage, you can feast your eyes on the beautiful sausage related posters and hand painted signs on the wall.
There are folks you like working with and folks you like having beers with. These dudes fall in to both categories. Their office has a great vibe and their work shows it. They were a pleasure to photograph last week and have been a great addition to the series. Cheers to Christian and Paul.
See the big ole’ photos and the making of Paul’s classy neck tie after the jump…

Our buddy Matt Rainwaters sent along the portfolio of his friend Scott Mansfield who shoots a lot of landscape work around the country. Based out of San Francisco he’s got some amazing studies on locations all over the place.
Check out his work.
While digging around the internets this morning, The Ministry of Type turned me on to this beautiful collection of end credits from Warner Bros films. The one pictured above is from Lady Windermere’s Fan. Along with each end credit is the title card of each film that appears when you roll over the image. Thankfully there are collections like this that remind us of a time when things weren’t designed using an offshoot of Papyrus.

In related news. Our internet is still down at the studio. Things should be back online today but until we know more blogging will only take place in the mornings before we all head to the office. Film at 11.
We’re a bit frustrated because our internet has been crapped out since last Thursday. Sadly we’re behind on blogging (and are only doing so now because we’re at Progress Coffee). Tech Support has been less than supportive so hopefully in the next few hours, days or weeks we’ll be able to get back online and blogging again. Until then, we just wanted to write an open letter letting our Tech Support know what’s at stake every day that passes without our internet working. Dexter hopes you get it fixed soon.

Leandro Castelao has an interesting style and some really nice work.
