the neither fish nor fowl interview was my favorite.

My favorite post of the year (so many to choose from), would have to be the Kevin Dart interview.

AMAZING prizes! i want them ALL. Thanks for the article on Hatch. I’m from nashville and love that Hatch Show Print is keep authentic letterpress design alive in such a cool way.

Hands down, my favorite post was the one about my good friend Mikey Burton. He’s the best!

Thought the illustrations by Jim Datz were wonderful!
I’m already a subscriber.

Two times…ftw!

neither fish nor fowl interview

I just realized, I’ve been using the wrong email on here. Whoops. Hope I win. And thanks for the opportunity to win some of this great stuff.

neither fish nor fowl interview was my favorite

I’ve been a subscriber for a long while now - Loved the interview with Matt Stephens and spotlight on his work. I follow him on flickr now and adore all the superb artists grainedit has introducted me to in 2009!

It’s got to be the “Neither Fish Nor Fowl” interview. I’ve forwarded that to so many people.

Loved the Little Friends of Printmaking interview! I go back to it all the time!

Hmmm that’s a tough one, but if I had to pick one I’d say the LITTLE FRIENDS OF PRINTMAKING INTERVIEW… Now, give the me prizes!

My favorite post was the little friends of printmaking interview. i loved the different perspectives within the two as a whole and the work is mind blowing…plus i still cant get over that awesome print set up they have (JEALOUS!!!)
thanks guys, you rock!

Oops! And my favorite post was probably the Dress Code interview too. Andre and Dan are the best. Also, anything Frank Chimero.

I think my favorite post this year was the one about the Alvin Lustig Vivaldi record album covers. That one stuck with me, and ever since I’ve been known to dig through the record album bins at thrift stores … even though we don’t have a turntable.

Hard pressed to choose a favorite. I would have to go with the Photo Lettering - Alphabet Thesaurus Vol.2, followed closely by the Stefan Kanchev post.

my fave has been the feature on dan cassaro/young jerks. but it was hard to choose, i love everything about this site!

Fav post was the House Industries interview.

i think that article about Alphabeasties book was the best.

Vintage travel posters!

dress code interview

Loved the post about the vintage Esquire magazine covers.

I loved the Neither Fish Nor Fowl Interview. Such amazing Work!

Three way tie between the Mark Weaver profile and the Cristiana Couceiro post.

Frank Chimero’s interview got me through a tough spot! Thanks grain edit!

Neither Fish Nor Fowl interview. Excellent work!

They were all good, though I liked the Jez Burrows post, and also really like the swell season poster

Favorite post was the Little Friends of Printmaking interview, very cool, thanks for doing that.

hmmm… i guess the one i keep thinking about is the little friends of printmaking ivu. but hard to narrow it down!

Two way tie between the Mark Weaver profile and the Cristiana Couceiro post.

Loved the Esquire Magazine covers!

i will like these, yes?

My favourite post is the one titled “Jazzin’ the Black Forest: The Guide to Saba/MPS Jazz Records” dated 07.14.09., because this is when I first discovered your blog! I still have it bookmarked (which makes me think that I should change it to the homepage… it would makes things much easier…). Anyway, I have the cd released on Crippled Dick Hot Wax Records. It’s a good one.

the vintage Russian posters were awesome

the swell season poster, or the Jez Burrows poster

Loved the Monocle feature

There was so much goodness, but the “Little friends of Printmaking” and the “Invisible Creature” interviews were the top for me!

I too, like the vintage travel posters! way cool!

My fave: Vintage travel posters

My favorite post was your interview with designer Frank Chimero!

http://grainedit.com/2009/03/12/frank-chimero-interview/

That’s a lotta loot! Consider me in!

Aah, so difficult to choose, I enjoyed so many! Recently enjoyed the Neither Fish nor fowl Interview, such lovely work <3
The Russian posters were beautiful too.
So many lovely prizes!

I’m brand new to grain edit so I’m still catching up on all the posts, but I’d say that so far I’ve been most inspired by the ‘Neither Fish nor Fowl’ interview. yep.

WOW ! awsome stuff !
i want somthing :) plzzzz

Fave post of the year would have to be Frederic Chaubin: Photographs of Soviet Architecture. Just amazing!

the Mark Giglio Studio Visit was great!
those wood works are amazing!

I started subscribing just a couple of months ago and still it’s impossible to choose! Right now it’s a toss up between the Frank Chimero interview and the Sollinero Illustration post.

My favourite interview… mmh, very hard to pick! I should say the Invisible Creature one, I read every single line of it :)

now, give me that Sol Linero print right away!!!

Too Many!!! But If I had to pick one, I’d say LITTLE FRIENDS OF PRINTMAKING… Now give me PRIZES!!!

there are so many great posts, especially the ones on vintage european graphic design… though recently i loved the Tom Palumbo Photography post you recently did. keep up the lovely eye candy!

Wow, this year’s giveaway is amazing! My favorite post this year would probably be your interview with Dress Code…I loved their book and I love their work! Keep bringing the great posts and inspiration!

My favorite was the Neither Fish Nor Fowl interview. But you guys have tons of incredible articles and interviews.

my fave post this year…
Eli No! Children’s Book

i LOVE LOVE LOVE Katie Kirk’s work & i SO want to buy this book for everyone’s kids i know & the biggest kid of all - me!!!

Modern See-Saw, no question. Hilarious.

Thanks Grain Edit!

Grain Edit = fantastadon.

My favorite was the Vintage Travel Posters.

too many great (and educational) posts. but i’ll say that the ones that had the most impact are all posts on books or products i might not have otherwise seen … such as “Graphic Design Referenced”, “Lars Muller’s New A5 Book Series”, “Bodega: Vinyl Wall Art Collection Curated by Arkitip” to name a few recent ones. (and yes, already RSSfeeding …)

Mark Weaver! Fantastic! :) As fantastic this giveaway is! :)
Thanks!!

My favorite post of the year was the Lumadessa prints. I went right there and grabbed the Chickadee for my fiancee, and she loved it. As two biologists, we really enjoy the nerdy stuff.

This is great. I need some prints to decorate my apartment.

The entry of Stefan Kanchev’s TV graphics would be my favorite, you’ve covered him August 24th. It reminded me of one of my alltime favorite pieces: Norman McLaren’s Le Merle (The Blackbird), a magnificent piece of stop-motion graphic art. Kanchev’s style also reminded me of Otto Treumann, a huge inspiration. I love this website, it’s part of my daily ritual. Keep up the good work!

jim datz work is genius. lovely excellent prints you have here!

Holy cow, what a great batch of stuff! How the heck do you guys not hoard it for yourselves??
Favorite post… hm… Well. I am a big Lab Partners fan. & I love any vintage children’s book illustration posts that come through every once in a while. So hard to pick a favorite!

I first learned about Josh Brill’s bird prints through a Grain Edit post, and I absolutely love his stuff, so, I’ll pick that post.

WOWWW!!! that’s WHAT I CALL a HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! I want ALL THE OPTIONS!!

My favourite post was the vintage travel posters! http://grainedit.com/2009/11/09/vintage-travel-posters/

Thanks for all the great posts though.

My favorite would have to be the Stefan Kanchev post. Great, inspiring work from someone I didn’t know existed. A wonderful surprise, and a site I go back to visit every now and then!

Frank Chimero interview was a highlight for sure.

Frank Chimero interview was a highlight for me.

the hatch interview!

Wow, I’d love to win any of these.

And the Kevin Dart interview, definitely. I’m a big fan of his work.

I love how you always feature so many good new illustrators, the Lotta Nieminen Illustration and Lumadessa / Josh Brill: Flora Fauna - Bird Editions posts are my personal favourites in that respect. I also really liked the story about the title designs för Where the Wild Things Are, about Geoff Mcfetridge.

It’s all about the Kevin Dart posters for me. Man, that guy is incredible. Everythign I’ve ever loved about art, design, typography, movies and women captured to near perfection. Sigh.

Little Friends of Printmaking interview was the bees knees.

Hope I win, this stuff looks incredible.

Frank Chimero interview and just about every other single post this year.

The Charley Harper post! I went to the gallery opening here in town because of it and got to see some of his wonderful art up close.

Great inspirational site all round but my favourtie posts were the Invisible Creatures and Kevin Dart interviews.

I loved the Meg Hunt interview, along with all the others of course!

Hard to choose, but I loved the TWA stuff. Also thanks for cluing me in to Mark Weaver’s excellent work.

Little friends of printmaking interview is my favorite ;)

*Sigh* I salivate at the beautiful illustration and typography! Wonderful! Pick me, pick me!! ;)

An amazing assortment of beautiful, creative, and inspiring work! Some real talented designers / artists involved.

Love cd / album covers that is why I am excited for the Invisible Creature merch

Ooh, either the Fish nor Fowl interview or any post that featured wonderful vintage design (board, I know).

Hard to pick a favorite, but the House Industries interview was pretty great.

The vintage travel posters post rocks. Just a great roundup of old art porn.

I enjoyed the Hatch interview. The owner is a fellow UW-Stout grad. Always great to see what fellow Alumni are up to.

Oh wow wow.

My favourite post was the Hatch interview, I love love love their JAQK work.

I think I liked the Frank Chimero interview and the post about Skinny Ships (he’s been one of my favorites ever since) best.
The architecture posts were awesome too…

found lots of wonderful stuff through your website, thankyou!

Tough choice, I’m going with the Jim Datz interview. No wait, the Invisible Creature interview. Hmmm…maybe the Hatch interview. Shoot…too many good ones!

The alphabeasties and other Amazing Types made me subscribe.

I really liked the Frank Chimero interview. I absolutely love the stuff this man does.

The Kevin Dart interview, without a doubt. I loved seeing the drawings from his childhood. Like everyone else, I also really enjoyed the Neither Fish Nor Fowl interview.

enjoyed the HATCH interview! top stuff!

The vintage travel posters were a nice find!

i’m mildly obsessed with mark weaver at the moment, so im going to say your mark weaver post!

The Hatch interview is definitely my favorite post, what an amazing group of people!!!

Is it fair to say that this is my favourite post of the year?
Look at the talent on show - you’ve pretty much curated a show of the most talented people working in print today.

Beautiful work.

I’ve been a fan of the RSS for a while but many thanks for the ‘follow on twitter’ idea. Keep up the great work!

euh oui moi j’aime!! et mon post préféré a été celui de “18 Dick Bruna Book Covers” yesssssss…incroyable!

The Kevin Dart interview was pretty cool

Man oh man oh man, I want that Weaver print! Such a killer collection of prizes, you guys have really outdone your selves.

My favorite post was the vintage travel posters!

My fav post of the year was: 18 Dick Bruna Book Covers

Mark Weaver is the TRUTH! Best post, ever.

In general Grain Edit is awesome! However, if I were to choose one it would probably be the Frank Chimero interview! He certainly is a wise man!

If I have to pick a favorite (there have been some exceptional posts), I’ll go with the 18 Dick Bruna bookcovers. Whimsical, beautiful, books I’d buy for the cover art alone. Love the man.

Oh man, this is awesome. There’s going to be some very happy people.

The designer in me wants to say the Little Friends of Printmaking interview. The Vinyl collector wants to say the Mike Cina mix. I guess its a tie.

Mine was absolutely the interview with Kevin Dart, creator of Yuki 7: http://grainedit.com/2009/06/03/kevin-dart-interview/

Good luck to everyone!

Hard to pick, but I loved the vintage travel posters.

so many great posts, but picking one randomly off the top of my head is adrian johnson’s. but there’s a heck of a lot of good stuff around these here parts.

this giveaway is amazing. i thought i was going to scrolling through awesome prizes forever!

Hard to chose from all the amazing features and posts, but i loved the Dress Code interview, very inspiring!

Spacesick’s Retro I Can Read Movie Series

I adore everything that Frank Chimero does and loved taking a peek into his process. Thank you, thank you.

hatch interview

frank chimero or mark weaver

The book cover posts are always my favorite. I especially love the kids’ books, like the little tiger and his zoo animal friends. But I will take any Grains you want to feed me!

SWEET PRIZES!

as far as picking my favorite grain edit post for ‘09, I’d have to say that I really enjoyed reading both the Frank Chimero & Invisible Creature interviews. Thanks for being such a great source of inspiration!

Brian

gorgeous stuff! I’m following you via reader. love the alphabet book!

My favorite post was about the Methane Studio.

My favorite was the Mark Giglio studio visit. Love the way he works and the way the place was set up. Made me wish I had a studio like that. Very inspiring.

Loved the Frank Chimero interview. I even bought a few prints afterward.

It was the vintage arcade game graphics that first caught my attention when I stumbled upon this blog this year, and it was the vintage russian posters that made me drool and know that I had to stay and nourish myself with yummy fresh grain feed every day if I had any hope in all hell of staying inspired and motivated with my own make-something-cool-everyday project. Having just graduated with a degree in fine arts, I’m feeling a little lost out here in the world and your blog keeps me in tune with all the beautiful, eye-pampering things I need to sustain myself!

Gotta be the Neither Fish Nor Fowl interview!

My favorite post was the international travel posters

Favorite post would be Neither Fish Nor Fowl interview.
Great work!

My favourite post was Lisez, Jouez et Decouvrez La Scandinavie avec Andersen!

I’d have to say it’s a tie between the Mark Giglio visit and the Vintage travel posters. :)

Thanks for a great year and great giveaway!

Favourite posts? Lab Partners, Kevin Dart, Chad Hagen, Mark Weaver… too many to choose.

Keep on editin’ that grain

Hatch interview was great. This giveaway rocks!

I loved the Andrew Bird poster with the bull.

The Frank Chimero interview introduced me to Frank Chimero and a deeper way of thinking about design.

I always enjoy the various book cover posts an interviews, but the Polish book covers was my favorite.

Awesome prizes. I drool.
Favorite post:
Kevin Dart interview
But I have to say, looking through the comments reminded me what stellar posts you have had all year long. Keep up the excellent inspiring work!

My favorite was the Kevin Dart interview — it was the first I’d seen of the book, though I’d been a regular visitor to his site a few years back. I wound up trading him a rare-ish Japanese superspy flick for a copy of Seductive Espionage, thanks to Grain Edit!

wow, wow, wow. Dave, you guys are always coming up with such good giveaways and this one does not disappoint! Count me in.

My favorite post was the one on Evan Hecox—such a great talent.

The Ken Leung interview is what brought me to the Grain Edit site and so must count as my favourite post.. For without it I would have missed some fantastic vintage posters and would not have known about that great photolettering alphabet blocks set..

cheers on a wonderful site..

Neither Fish Nor Fowl interview was beyond great.
Thanks for the chance :D

The travel posters and Polish book covers were just some of my many favorite posts here.

Hi, what an amazing giveaway - a friend of mine told me about grain edit a few months back, I always enjoy your taste in graphics. My favorite post from the last year was the Tom Messenger post, I love his colour choices most of all - super sweet! Thanks for the great feed.

Mark Weaver & Autografik

Wow, what incredible prizes! My favorite post was the ‘Neither Fish Nor Fowl’ interview. It was really inspiring to read about someone making a professional shift from something that turned out to be not as fun as it was in school…I know the feeling! I also love seeing all of the vintage travel ephemera and luggage tags. :)

great stuff!!!

The interview with Hatch was fantastic. Loved their entire packaging design for JAQK Cellars.

My favorite post in the past year was the highlighting of Christopher Lee’s work. I really dig his style and had forgotten to bookmark his site and had forgotten his name. Thanks.

http://grainedit.com/2009/09/30/christopher-lee-illustration/#more-2843

The mobile zoo print from this post was pretty memorable for me, I loved it: http://grainedit.com/2009/10/21/meg-hunt-illustration/

My favourite has to be the most recent Mark Giglio Studio Visit. Love his scope of work from 2 dimensional to 3 dimensional design.

I love much of what you post here, but in a pinch, I’d have to say Kevin Dart’s work comes out on top.

I’d have to say the dress code interview

The Swink promo piece was awesome and memorable. But there’ve been many great posts!

Thanks for good daily reading

Took a while to find it, but “Loto de Socorrismo: The Morbidly Funny Game for Kids” is one of my favs.

Merry Christmas!

I’ll say the David Weidman post a few months back just because I’m glad to see him getting this much-deserved attention. Keep up the good work!

I liked the ‘Hatch Interview’ post because I love their work and it was interesting to read about them.

My favorite post was the Jonas Bergstrand Illustration Post, it made remember of many things, besides the illustrations are fab.

I love you guys for ALL of the original content. So it’s hard to choose, but my personal favorite, was the interview/mix with Mike Cina. As a self confessed record geek (who loves spiritual jazz) and designer, the interview brought together the best of both worlds for me. I find it incredibly interesting to learn what inspires other artists. Thank you!

New reader to Grain Edit, but I read you guys because of the Little Friends of Printmaking interview. I’m studying printmaking now, so it was a good article for me.

I liked when you posted my fellow Vancouverites art, design, film, music, misc blog, booooooom.com

Toru Fukuda Illustration - What a gem! A fantastic retro style.

Oh man, so many great articles to choose from… but I’d have to say the Neither Fish Nor Fowl interview gets the #1 nod.

Being a big collector of photographic ephemera, I will have to say that anytime a vintage poster or catalog shows up I go B°nKer$.Although I would love to see more of the designers library . Maybe make that a section. I have turned on many of my friends and students to your blog. Education in a snap!

I love all the studio visits this year. The site is an amazing read everyday.

hatch—hands down the best interview of the year. It was so inspiring to take a sneak peak within the cracks of their daily routine and studio. I was so inspired and thrilled to learn much more about their creative process and fine details between each hatchling. It’s nice to see that even smart creative individuals such as Joel and Katie even go through a long development process. A peak of their creative space was an added bonus. Love, love, loved this interview and looking forward to many more alike.

I’m new to the site but I really enjoyed the Little Friends of Printmaking interview. I love their work

My favorite post would have to be the Kevin Dart interview.

I really enjoy every post, but especially love the studio tours. My fav from this past year has to be Chris Bettig’s tour.

Thanks for all you do, and happy holidays! :-)

Dunno about one favorite but I really enjoy all the visits in artist’s studios.

The Vintage Travel Posters!

Wow, there are so many awesome posts from this year, but I must say I really enjoyed the Little Friends of Printmaking Interview!

Oh, wow! I’d have to say the Tim Gough interview, with House Industries as a close second, although it’s oh-so-difficult to choose.

Its hard to choose one really, but the interviews are always some of my favorites! I especially enjoyed the Neither Fish Nor Fowl and Little Friends posts this year.

there are too many fab posts to pick from but I did like the 50+ Designers on Twitter….kept me busy!

Like a lot of people, I loved the “Neither Fish Nor Fowl” post, great stuff.

I think my favorite post of the year might be the Jonas Bergstrand Illustration stuff. That alligator esepecially.

Hi, Grain

Amazing giveaway, I haven’t got a hope in hell. Favourite this year was the Little Friends of Printmaking one, I’d seen their Fantomas poster years before but didn’t know who did it, finally the mystery solved. I went straight to their site and bought a poster - keep up the good work, always a beautiful start to the day with Grain Edit.

Hi all, pff… hard to choose. So many great posts and some of them so different that you can’t compare. Love so many. All interviews, studios, all things with letters are great. Love the vintage posters, and love Mark Weaver… he is just brillant!

Tnx for all the great content and inspiration. Enjoy the holidays!

Gimme gimme gimme.

Awww I have been eyeing off that Boston poster for ages on Three Potato Four but the postage cost is outrageous to Australia.

Fingers and toes crossed. One Question. How on earth do you guys pull such fab prizes!?

The Neither Fish nor Fowl interview was my favourite - love Katie Kirk’s work.

Wow! Almost everything here on grain edit is very, very beautiful, but the 2 posts i liked much, were Birds of a Feather and The Little Friends of printmaking.

As always loving the interview bits… particularly the Hatch interview. Keep up the amazing stuff guys!

Stefan Kanchev’s logos, TV graphics, and stamp designs. One very cool Bulgarian.

I was very much intrigued by the Little Friends of Printmaking interview- especially good to see the step by step process of working up the sketch to finished print!

It’s impossible to pick just one. How can I, when in every post you discover some great artist, illustration, link, book?

I really liked the alphabeasties post, because it combines some of my favorite things: type, children books and illustration (http://grainedit.com/2009/10/08/alphabeasties-and-other-amazing-types/), but there were also many other amazing ones.

Thanks for another INCREDIBLE giveaway :-)

My fave post o’the year was about a german book for kids, no text, just a series of picture and a green cover - yeah, I know

My favourite post : Lumadessa / Josh Brill: Flora Fauna - Bird Editions. I love this illustrator that I discovered because of you. Thanks!

Holy cow, what a selection of prizes. Thanks Grain Edit for a year of fantastic posts. The internet needs more (better) selective editors of material. Thanks for helping to swing the signal/noise ratio in the right direction! Hard to choose a favorite post, but I’d have to go with the Lumadessa-Brill bird prints. Novel, yet timeless. Kind of like Grain Edit…

I love the Neither Fish Nor Fowl interview because i love his stuff !
But this article rock too …

My favorite post was about Typografische Monatsblätter, a typo-magazine.

I love any post with typography but I love the vintage Esquire posters the best!

I love the interviews/features that you do because they help me “discover” designers like Little Friends of Printmaking and Frank Chimero.

The ‘Neither Fish Nor Fowl’ interview is one of the highlights for me this year, I love to read about the way in which designers work. Grain Edit inspires me throughout the day at work! Keep them coming.

My favourite was the Cristiana Couceiro post, because it’s one of the first things I looked at when my friend told me to check out grain edit. I love her work. :-)

favorite post, that’s a tough call. but among the many great posts, the LFOP one was sticking out.

Love the site. It keeps me from being too cynical about my chosen profession. Keep inspiring.

there were so many…very hard to choose but loved the Kevin Dart interview. Always inspiring to see the process from brain cells to final product and all the thought and work that goes into one project. keep up the great work grain edit!

I love Grain! And my favorite interview was definitely Hatch. Tough call, but Hatch! And I want that Paris Print so bad!

my favorite post was the one with Richard Perez and Skinny Ships

i think THIS might be my favorite post ever…

I wanna win stuff! :D

My favorite post of the year was the interview with Little Friends of Printmaking (although, I must say, it was hard to choose!)…

Happy Holidays, Grain Edit!

my fav was the neither fish nor fowl interview.!

I’m now officially obsessed with Jez Burrows thanks to you guys, by far my favorite designer of this year. The Little Friends of Printmaking feature was pretty amazing as well. As was the Neither Fish nor Fowl….too many to name. Love this site!

The interviews are always my favorite (especially Hatch and Neither Fish Nor Fowl). Keep ‘em coming- thanks!

My favourite post was the Lumadessa / Josh Brill: Flora Fauna - Bird Editions.
I loved so much the vectorial images of birds.

Ummm…I really loved your interview with Little friends of Printmaking. They are really rad and such talented screenprinters. Kudos to Grain Edit for a great year!
