The intro to these videos is so funny (I think it might be my favourite part). Travis Millard tells a story and draws while he does it. Fully enjoying this series! Watch the first two episodes below! View the whole post: “Drawing Stories” with artist Travis Millard over on BOOOOOOOM!.

Saam Farahmand directs this short film, inspired by Daughn Gibson’s highly acclaimed debut album All Hell. After becoming completely obsessed with the album, Farahmand approached Gibson with the idea of creating a film inspired by the entire album rather than a music video for one song in particular.

My favourite letterer Jessica Hische just posted a fantastic article all about type. It is a must-read for anyone who has weaselled their way into a design position and hasn’t actually taken a type class (this woulda been handy when I worked at Electronic Arts). The post includes her favourite type designers, an unbiased list of font resources, and a whole slew of things to think about when choosing typefaces.

Jeremy Deveraturda is an illustrator and digital painter who studied at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and moved from his initial love of watercolor into the appealing freedom of digital art. His light-filled digital seascapes and landscapes have something of the feeling of gouache, and display his admiration for artists like Sorolla and JWM Turner. Deveraturda’s website has galleries of both personal work and illustration. In addition he maintains a blog, Paint My Brains Out. There is an interview with Deveraturda on STAMP magazine.

Like his remarkable Hare, Albrecht Durer’s study in watercolor, pen and ink of a clump of earth containing an assortment of wild plants, known as the Great Piece of Turf, is a remarkable example of the artist’s penetrating powers of observation and brilliant rendering. Like his Hare, the Great Piece of Turf has become one of the most well known of Durer’s works, in spite of — or perhaps because of — its unassuming subject matter. This work, along with 90 other watercolors, drawings and prints from the extraordinary collection of the Albertina, is still on view here in the U.S. as part of an exhibition titled: Albrecht Durer: Master Drawings, Watercolors and Prints from the Albertina, at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. until June 9, 2013
