Philip Kennedy is a twenty-something designer and writer from Ireland. He enjoys living in new cities, watching old episodes of Seinfeld and working on fun projects with exciting people. His favorite film will always be Back to the Future.
I recently discovered the work of Marinna Muun and I love it! Born in Bulgaria, Munn says that she “grew up all over the place” and now is currently based in the UK. To me, her work feels quite mystical. Her acrylic paintings and digital illustrations mix the unnatural and the supernatural to create characters and illustrations that feel somewhat spiritual or ritualistic.

A Friend of Mine recently updated their website and shared a whole host of great new work. I particularly love their branding for a new bar-cum-restaurant in Melbourne called The Town Mouse. This multidisciplinary design studio from Australia did a really great job in creating an identity which harks back to a bygone era and yet still feels very fresh and modern.

Daehyun Kim is a graphic artist from Seoul in South Korea. Since 2008 he has been working on a series called moonassi drawing. These are mostly small sized pictures which are painted in black and white using pen, marker and occasionally brush. Daehyun studied fine arts at a university that specialized in Traditional East-Asian Art and Painting and it’s clear to see that this traditional practice has gone on to influence his work.

I featured the work of the Finnish illustrator and designer Janine Rewell on The Fox Is Black nearly two-years ago. Since then it would seem that her work has only gone from strength-to-strenghth. Jaine studied at both Helsinki’s University of Art and Design, as well the Rhode Island School of Desgin, and she now lives and works in Helsinki where she is represented by the wonderful Agent Pekka.

Poppy & Red is the collected work of friends Anna Deegan and Paula McGloin. The two joined forced back in 2011 and have been developing some really wonderful pattern-based illustrations ever since.
