As mentioned in our Paper & Ink post back in July, the brilliant Kev Speck has decided to push his work in a whole new direction. Known for his layered, textured and striking digital illustrations, Kev has ditched the jpegs in preference for the felt tip and pencil. His Blind Drawings are based on small snippets of Kev’s life, be they personal thoughts or references to obscure lyrics from songs, and result in fascinating little doodles. There’s now a new Blind Drawings site as well where you can explore the images and also order prints… or even request a bespoke creation! Oh and 10% of all sales go to the RNIB.

This week we’ve been inspired by a number of screenprints, ready to brighten the walls of anyone’s studio, sunhouse or shed.
Jon Burgerman took part in a show called Blisters On My Fingers (Beatles reference?), for which he produced this 2-colour print. You can still grab one of the 20 or so copies left from Print Club.
Ben The Illustrator also dropped us a line to let us know about his World Lovin’ Posters. All you eco-friendly designers out there will love these as they’re printed on FSC certified paper and only use vegetable inks. Each print is limited to a run of 100 as well.
And if you’re still looking for more screen-print inspiration then check out Boxbird, who launched last month. They have a great variety of silkscreen and Giclée prints and asked Stephen to put something together for them, which you can see here.
Other news this week:
Blind Drawings, Crayonlegs and TBFH
Kev Speck dropped us a line telling us about a project he’s working on to keep his creative juices flowing - Blind Drawings… The Boy Fitz Hammond has a new tee up on Threadless called Small Mammal Flying Machine… and we were introduced to a new illustration treat, Crayonlegs (check out their Literal Facial Hair illustrations… Goatee anyone?).
