Illustration and drawing is a skill set that I’ve always find challenging despite years and years of training – I vividly remember the “tree” I drew when I was 12-years old that distinctly looked more like some kind of dwarf alien with with extremely long tentacles. I’ve come to the realization that I’m more of a doodler and that suits me just fine to get the creative juices flowing. Yet, I appreciate inspiring work when I see it, like the drawing above from a friend’s 5-year old daughter where butterflies and flowers actually look the way they should. The 2013 Communication Arts Illustration Annual<\/a> was another place to draw inspiration from and didn’t disappoint showing that there’s plenty of talent out there.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of my favorites:<\/p>\n

Brian Stauffer <\/a>produced this poster for the 2013 Savannah Music Festival in Georgia. Something about the vertical format and the elongated grand piano is appealing.<\/p>\n

Love the concept and visual of this image from Steven Bonner<\/a> that was used on a billboard to communicate the superior road grip of the Audi Quattro.<\/p>\n

How can you not like Breaking Bad<\/a>? This is a great illustration of Walter White entitled “Breaking Bad Ass” by Dominic LaRiccia<\/a> from Spork Design<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
