Hot Dog Diary - Graphic Novel by Nathan Tolzmann

My lovely wife Emily, for my birthday, gave me this newly published labor of love from our good friend Nathan. It is the beautifully drawn chronicle of a bike trip from the NW coast to Chicago Nathan made 20 yrs. ago with his good friend Matt. The biking took about 4 months and the graphic novel took almost 4yrs. to complete.

The teaser is…there’s a fun cameo of me in it that was kind of exciting to discover.

2 additional things: a) find the book here b) and/or go here to see more of some of Nathan’s art

Russia vs Ukraine Illustration for Aid Donations

Polish illustrator Pawel Jonca depicts what is hopefully a perfect metaphor for the current conflict. Jonca writes, "You can get the digital poster here, by paying ANY amount to support Ukraine."

A-Frame X 2 w/ SkyBridge (Gisoom Cabin)

Fun concept from designer Soheil Kiani. This very convincing 3D model offers a clear vision of the tweaked archetype. More here.

Graphic Art (Prague)

“We created the logo of Kunsthalle Praha, this new art institution at Klárov, five years before its opening, and the Kunst font became the basis and an integral part of the future visual style of the orientation system and exhibitions. This font, designed by Mark Pistora, is based on a sketch by German typographer Jan Tschichold from 1930, the same time when the building of the former Zenger Transformer Substation was built.”

I love how backwards and cyclical this whole project seems - it’s a bit punk rock. Check out more by these impressive designers here.
