Toy Stories by Aled Lewis
Love this hilariously funny set of illustrations by London based designer Aled Lewis. As part of a personal project, Make Something 365 in which he creates one work every day, Aled became fascinated with cheap plastic toys and the funny juxtapositions he could create with them when he paired them with words. Prints of Toy Stories are availble now on InPrint for $20.

Accoutrements Posters by Nick Agin
These brilliantly funny and interesting Accoutrements Posters by Nick Agin all started from the age old question of “Does the suit really make the man, or does the man make the suit?” The posters are Nick’s study on “personal accoutrements and their cultural associations” of a Chap (dapper man), a designer, and a pirate.
You can pick up The Chap, and the pirate over on Nick’s shop, screen printed, for only $20.00.

Animal Alphabet from A–Z — I Love Dust
Animal Alphabet from A-Z is another awesome project from the talented trio over at I Love Dust. Each letter is represented by an totally cute illustration of an animal who’s name starts with that letter. Monkey for M, Flamingo for F, you get the idea. There’s not much information about the project on their site but I love what I see and I can only image the rest.

Motels by Holly Wales
Seriously awesome prints by artist and illustrator Holly Wales. The Motels series of three prints feature brilliant color illustrations of motel signage. I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with signs like these, making the sign designer in me cringe, but secretly loving them. Holly’s prints definitely speak to that love side!
The prints are 3 color Risograph prints that were done for the Turn Up The Colour exhibition at Analogue Books in Edinburgh and are available for £30 ($48) each or £80 ($128) for the set on Holly’s website.
