Crystal Wagner
These amazing sculptural forms that reference nature, anatomy and terrain are by artist Crystal Wagner.
I am interested in the intersections between synthetic and organic, real and unreal, abstract and concrete and in that way am intrigued by the forms and concepts associated with Utopia. - (From Wagner's artist statement.)
Illustration by Andrew Archer
Love these amazing illustrations by New Zealand artist Andrew Archer whose work is inspired by wood block prints and Edo period art from Japan. Link

The Font Game
While I'm on this typography kick, I thought I would share this iPhone app created by ilovetypography.com. Test your font knowledge!
Type Trumps 2
Rick Banks, graphic designer behind Face37 has created a follow-up to his impressive Type Trump deck that I was lucky enough to get my hands on a couple years ago.
Type Trumps, a play on Top Trumps, uses figures to enable the cards to be won or lost using some of the tried and tested 'Top Trumps' rules. The Type Trumps have a 'ranking', which is a subjectively ascribed positional value based on Banks' personal favourites. Each card also features statistics for each font including: foundry information, designer, design date, special power and more.
