The Morgan Gaynin Weekly Roundup

There are lots of exciting tidbits to share at MGI, so we hope that you’ll excuse our use of the ’roundup’ format – but surely this is a nice problem to have.

Anson Liaw’s conceptual illustrations have been featured in InPrint Magazine this month, featured alongside a short article about the artist and his distinctive views on the role of good illustration. You can take a peek at this terrific collection of Anson’s work here.

But that’s not all! Anson has also learned that his piece, entitled “Help Japan,” has been selected for the “Project Sunshine for Japan”  poster design show. Also destined for publication, the 100 pieces will be on display in Dusseldorf, Germany, December 1st.

And last but certainly not least, we were delighted to see these wonderful skin designs from Judith Drews. Created with ‘Paste’ in Argentina, the simple designs lend so much sweetness to some of our most commonly used gadgets.
