This week we’ve got the illustrative work of Katie Kirk. I stumbled across Katies work a while ago, and loved the clean vectors, creative patterns, and just overall awesome work.

To start the week off, I’ve got a cool freebie pack for you. It’s Confetti! My nephew recently won some school contest, and they wrapped the prize in newspaper and confetti. He’s a smart kid, and he knows what I do, so he suggested I check it out. It was very cool. So I decided to make some Photoshop Brushes, Vectors and textures out of the confetti. I wanted to give yall a variety.

For this weeks inspiration we have the work of Design & Coder Nick De Jardine. He’s got very cool, clean, original style. He also has some very nice photography pieces in his portfolio. So check out the below work, and make sure to visit Nick’s site for more.
So typography is awesome. From the popularity of my Quality Free Font posts (serif, sans-serif, script, and even dingbat) I’d say yall enjoy type a good deal too! :) Free fonts are nice, and there are some very beautiful, well-crafted free fonts. But, there are also a whole lot of great type foundries out there creating beautiful, unique premium fonts. So today I’d like to show yall five very cool type foundries, and some of the work that they do.
Another week flies by, so I’ve got another Tweets of the Week for yall. This week we’ve got a bunch of different graphic/web design-y goodness, so be sure to check it out. Hope yall have a very nice and relaxing weekend! (Either that, or get a lot of work done ;) )

This weeks inspiration is some awesome character designs from Wayne Harris. Wayne is a freelance illustrator & graphic designer living in Cardiff, Wales.

One day a couple of weeks ago while I was hanging out at my printers, he showed me a very awesome classic car that they had in the back. I love classic cars, and this one was especially cool. Lots of cool textures, patterns, etc. So I went back a couple of days later and took a whole bunch of pictures. And here they are! :)
The end of another week is here. I swear, time goes by ridiculously quick. :) Anywho, I’ve got your weekly resources for you today. As always, it’s a mix of useful, helpful, and inspirational links that I think yall will like.

For this weeks inspiration post I have some very cool Vintage Advertisments for yall. I’m a big fan of most things old-timey and vintage, so I really love these. The vintage ads also often have some very cool typography, nice illustrations, and much more to draw inspiration from.
