Short has a way with his illustration work that makes illustrations one wuld normally find lame and childish pretty darn cool. I think a lot of that has to do his “Rat Fink” style of illustration. I mean who else could make a picture of a soccer loving hog look cool? Not a lot of people, that is for sure. Check out some more of his and let me know what you think!
Check out Shorts Blog to see more of his work.

The last 9 months we’ve been working hard on the financial parts of our system. During this time we’ve been building a better, more bulletproof accounting system into the app. It’s the kind of super important work that for the most part nobody notices, but ensures everything is working as it should. Along the way we’ve also been working on some other aspects which WILL be noticeable, and I’d like to tell you about three of them:

OK, I promise it is only coincidence that both this weeks and last weeks featured authors are named David. It isn’t some sort of conspiracy, I promise. Davids work caught my eye after he uploaded his most recent file that includes a wide assortment of useful graphics for web design. Whats great about Davids other files is that any sort of web design elements you might need that aren’t included in his web element pack, are probably in his other files for sale. Need some login screens or more menu options? David has got you covered. I’m sure he is bound to come out with even more over the months to come.

Today’s discussion is more of a light hearted one than a serious one. Really, I would just like to hear what everyone’s favorite font is and why? You don’t have to have a complex reason for liking it, it could just be pretty! I’m no typophile, but I still enjoy a good font. I couldn’t tell you what makes a font good or bad, but I know a bad font when I see it.

I don’t even really know where to start when trying describe the work of Lois van Baarle. Its like a modern version of vintage childrens books. At least that is the best way I can think of how to describe the majority of her work. What is cool though, is she has a style that can transfer over into various mediums and within other styles. that isn’t something a lot of artists can do. But, I will let her work speak for its self. Many of these images are for sale as prints, so be sure to support the artists if you like her work!
I decided to feature these U.S. Letter Editorial Samplers by GraphicRiver author, blankartist, because I think they are a great idea for a file. I have had the idea for a while now that some website wireframes could make for some good selling files. Seems like some good wireframes that were well made and properly organized could do really well on the marketplaces. While blankartist hasn’t creating any website wireframes, they did create some really nice looking print layouts.
While I haven’t seen any of these files full size, they look pretty good from the previews. If I could make one suggestion to the author, it would be to link to some full size previews of the files
I guess this question is geared more toward web designers or anyone else who has ever tried to craft their own portfolio website. Why is it that we as web designers can design client websites all day long, but when it comes to our portfolio site we constantly draw a blank?

I really like Davids work for a number of reasons. First off, his attention to detail is great. He really spends a lot of time polishing of his images and it shows. If you are a fan of Apple web design or Meta Labs, you are sure t be a fan of David’s work. The other reason I enjoy his work, is that he really breaks the mold with some of his designs. Take his latest menu submission for example, this is a great file. It is innovative and original, two great qualities to have in a stock file!

Joseba Elorza is a freelance illustrator whos specialty is to create some outstanding collage style works. He has certainly made a very unique style for himself. The works he creates all seem to have a retro and dream like feel to them. They seem nostalgic and fresh all at the same time. Joseba is based out of Spain and has a portfolio site here.
In my opinion, it is nice to see a Photoshop artist create a style for themselves, rather than just follow along with design trends and the most recent tutorials. What do you guys think about Joseba’s work?
