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!

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.

Loved the Mikey Burton post: http://grainedit.com/2009/10/08/mikey-burton/

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!

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!

Frank Chimero interview was a highlight for sure.

Frank Chimero interview was a highlight for me.

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.

An amazing assortment of beautiful, creative, and inspiring work! Some real talented designers / artists involved. My favorite post, and there are more than one, but if I had to narrow it down I would say the Alvin Lustig Vivaldi record album covers. Love cd / album covers that is why I am excited for the Invisible Creature merch

Oh, it’s so hard to choose! The first one that came to mind though was the Kevin Dart interview. Love.

I loved the Tom Palumbo post recently. Such lovely prizes!!!

My favorite post was the vintage travel posters!! It seems to be a popular one!

I love Mark Weaver’s work…but pretty much everything on here is great!

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.

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

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

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

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

My favorite was the Photo Lettering, keeping my fingers crossed!!

My latest favorite is the Mark Weaver post. He rules!

This giveaway rocks!

My fav posts from you guys are always on graphic art, so I’d have to say my top fav is the one on Spike Press posters. The Devendra one is simply amazing ♥

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.

The Kevin Dart interview introduced me to his work and I have been a huge fan ever since…

i really liked Mihail Mihaylov’s work!

I really loved the Alphabeasties post. I just fell in love with that book and I was actually surprised when I received the book for my birthday!

I enjoyed the post about Cristiana Couceiro’s collage work.

I love the update on Jean David, and the other posts that highlight designers from places around the world we don’t normally hear about in North America.

i want that black bear t-shirt !

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

I really loved the orba squara feature, I look at it all of the time! I hope I win!!

I liked when you posted a fellow Vancouverites blog, booooooom.com

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.

This would be my favourite post of the year: http://grainedit.com/2009/08/11/hatch-interview/

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.

my favorite post of the year….
http://grainedit.com/2009/11/12/mark-weaver/

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
I love your blog very very much.
Especially I loved the Sollinero Illustration post.
Keep on the good work,
Gal

kevin dart vs travel posters….um, both.keep up the good work Dave.

Entered! I have too many favorites to list, but the Vintage Russian Posters post was the most mind-blowing for me, and the Mark Giglio studio tour.

My favorite post was the one with the vintage cassette tape covers!
and every post with great illustrations

my favorite was the post about coast modern

i think this might be my favorite post. i’m so excited and have my fingers fiercely crossed.

favorite post…. apart from all of them, vintage travel posters perhaps.

I loved the interview with Little Friends Of Printmaking and the Mark Giglio Studio visit the best

like the “Polish Book Covers”. awesome work.
in fact, there’s a lot of inspiring stuff out here. keep digging it out.
thanks.

I love the Spacesick’s Retro I Can Read Movie Series post. Awesome!

I loved Mark Giglio Studio Visit ! Man I would love a corner just like that Btw, you have so many great prizes you could have 10 prize winners instead of 5!!

I love the Christopher Lee ‘The Beast Is Back’ update post.

So much to choose from. Probably the Kevin Dart interview.

Hmm. Fairly new to this great website, so my choice is more limited as I have been through the archives fully… I really liked the polish book covers, buy as s visual beast I think I like the travel posters most. “Come to Africa” Yes please!

The Little Friends Of Printmaking interview was my favourite of the year - yeah!

I really liked the recent visit to Mark Giglio’s studio or the David Weidman from a little while ago.

the studiovisits are the best.
keep up the amazing work!
t.

oh and i agree love the little friends of printmaking interview; sorry i miss read the instructions

*coast modern post

My favourite post of the year was the vintage travel posters

There’s so much to choose from! Kevin Dart, House Industries, Bombo, Hatch……..Just to name a few.

I really really loved the Odilea Toscano piece + the interviews are always interesting & inspirational.

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!

tom palumbo photography! whoop whoop!

My favourite post of the year had to be the Little Friends interview. It gave me a warm glow inside. I want a design wife!

Holy shit, thats a lot of swag!

I thouroughly enjoyed the kevin dart interview btw.

I really enjoyed »Little Friends of Printmaking interview«!

thanks alot i hope i winnnnn =^..^=

i dug the fish fowl itw too, it was really nice seeing the work process the more the bettaaaaa

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.
AMAZING !

Hi there. I love your blog and I love the fact that it celebrates anything vintage. It makes it very hard to choose a favorite post because a lot of them were so good. But, if I had to choose, I really liked the interview with Kevin Dart. Thanks for another great year of blogging!

Mine was Paige + Modern, I love the photo of the Centenary Pool in Brisbane, I now subscribe to her feed as well

Difficult to choose among so much good stuff but I will go for the Vintage Travel Posters just for the Hunting in Poland poster.

Way too many great posts to choose just one, but i always love the interviews and studio tours as well as all the lovely vintage ephemera!

‘Little Friends of Printmaking’ was definitely my discover for 2009 through this colorful and grainy site!

Cheers from Spain!

Love Always With Honor ’s work and I’d pick the post about them, though I greatly enjoy everything you write!

My favorite post was on Mark Weaver. Thanks!

There all nice and dandy, but the winner must be the post about Stefan Kanchev.

Wow, those are some prizes! My favourite post of the year was the Little Friends of Printmaking. A great run through of their printing process, and a really inspiring array of art!

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.

My second try to post: I liked »Little Friends of Printmaking Interview« very much.

I may have fallen in love with the Russian Posters and Stefan Kanchev, but generally I am always amazed by the things you guys dig up!.

One day i would love to feature on your pages

I loved the Frank Chimero interview, but everything this site has to offer is wonderful.

My favorite post this past year was Richard Perez. I love his clean design style and colors used in his designs!

I really enjoyed the Mark Weaver post as I had also been following his Make Something Cool Every Day Flickr account and thought it was great to see it had been recognised on here

Hi, I’m a reader from the other side of the world. We are waiting for our very warm Christmas here in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I really enjoy the site, it is difficult to choose one favourite post, beside this of the giveway, but I think I liked Neither Fish Nor Fowl interview.
Best!

hey hey, thats a massive giveaway! good luck everyone!

I guess the interviews are always my favorites. cheers!

second try at posting…

My favorite was the Vintage Travel Posters

I enjoyed the Little Friends piece.

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.

I really hope I win! These prizes are amazing!! I look forward to my Grain Edit update in my Inbox each morning. A nice way to start my day.

I love all the designer interviews! Very inspiring

Ken Leung Interview! No Grain Edit post can really be favorited, I always love being introduced to something new and most posts are fairly informative. But as a huge fan of Monocle it was great getting to know about Ken Leung, and learning that he was happy with his decision to stick with print.

Darling Clementine’s lovely posters and ‘Hide and Seek’ by Dan Matutina were up there with the best for me x

Vintage travel posters, hands down

My most favorite post of all year was Lumadessa / Josh Brill: Flora Fauna - Bird Editions. Posted on September 17

Vintage travel Posters fo sho’. Some sexy pieces of stock right there.

The post on the Lots of Bots book (featuring Wall E) was awesome. I ran right out and bought one, for my nephews of course. It really is a gorgeous book. I get the feeling one of your editors has kids, ’cause I’m constantly getting great ideas for my nephews from you and they are getting lots of fabulous artistic gifts… gee I’d love to win that magazine subscription for them… fingers crossed!

My favourite is your post on the Kurokawa Nakagin capsule hotel - it was fascinating!

Darling Clementine made me smile lots

loved the vintage travel posters and dress code interview!

my fav was the interview with the Little Friends of Printmaking. Now I’m a huge fan of their work!

Vintage Russian Posters - Real 1970s Proper Like!!

AMAZING!

the Mark Giglio thing was mighty fine

Tough one, but probably two of my favorites were the Hatch interview and the Little Friends of Printmaking interview.

I can’t pick just one! Little Friends of Printmaking interview definitely or the Mark Weaver feature. Both were absolutely lovely, but if I had to pick one, I’d go for Mark Weaver. His prints are magic.

Pretty much every post here gets my creative motor running. Too hard to choose just one!

My favorite postS are the ones that remind me of design of decades gone by that still continues to influence what we’re doing today - the vintage travel posters, the esquire mags . . . .

My favorite post was the one with vintge travel and airline posters! I want them all!

I am a follower!

Wow, what an AMAZING giveaway! Tough to decide on a favorite post from the last year, but recently I enjoyed the Neither Fish Nor Fowl interview.

So many great choices - I love the Brooklyn posters!

My favorite post is the feature on Ed Nacional. Even though I am inspired by all your posts, this one hit me upside the head. The Terry Shop logo has been the screensaver on my Mac for a long time. He is a talented designer and I was happy to learn of him through your post!

Look forward to more great stuff.

Loved the alpha-beasties! added it to my 5 year old’s Christmas wish list immediately.

Loved the Neither Fish nor Fowl interview. Great to see the process.

I still go back and look at the covers of Jauna Gaita magazine all the time.
http://grainedit.com/2008/05/12/53-years-of-latvian-magazine-jauna-gaita/

My favourite post was the Dress Code Interview.
Thanks

My favorite post of 2009 was the Interview with Frank Chimero (March 12th). I’ve felt such a charge reading it and was inspired by Frank’s generosity in sharing his process. Too often we guard our process as if it was some sort of “special sauce” when in reality none of us has reinvented the wheel. I’ve since referenced this interview and shared it numerous times.

Thanks for a great year of content Grain Edit!

Well, I’m new to Grain Edit, but I just read the Dress Code interview and it was great, so I would have to say that’s my favorite !

My favourite post was the awesome Dress Code interview!

Favorite post by far: Hatch!

Little Friends of Printmaking for the win!!

If I say the Hatch interview was one of my favorites am I just a sheep? I also really enjoyed the Herb Lubalin Archives post. That guy is a freaking genius.

my favorite grain edit entry was this year was definitely:

lisez, jouez et decouvrez La Scandinavie avec Andersen -by Paul de Roujoux, Pamela Labonnelie and Mireille Ballero. Illustrations by Martine Bourre

loved it!

Hello,

I would have to say the neither fish nor fowl post. Really enjoyed the content.

Charles

Wowsa!!! What a haul. This is my favorite post currently, just to see all of the goodies.

Gotta love on the Neither Fish Nor Fowl interview!

Hard to pinpoint a single post as being favorite.
I do especially enjoy when you feature vintage ephemera. It makes me want to “touch people’s dusty things”.

Everything MINE does is FTW! So nice to see a post about their studio; it’s one of my favourites!

wooot!

I’m pretty new to Grain Edit, but what an amazing place it is. It’s become one of my daily visits. Vintage Travel Posters is my favorite post so far. Blew me away!

http://grainedit.com/2009/09/04/eric-smith-i-draw-all-day/

first time on the site . . . for the contest. but i linked in from a Mark Weaver flickr upload, so his feature is the only one i’ve read . . . so far . . .

bookmarked. looks like a great site for inspiration and resources.

My favorite post was the Dress Code article because it was how I stumbled upon Grain Edit in the first place and then proceeded to become a dedicated follower. Keep up the great work.

http://grainedit.com/2009/08/14/we-are-the-friction/

My favourite was the Kevin Dart interview. thanks!

Little Friends of Printmaking, favorite interview and amazing work.

i just love to find a new article in my feedreader every morning, and you guys have been inspiring me a lot over the last 2 years…so, i just like to say thank you for that! my favorite article from the last year was the feature/interview on house industries. i really enjoyed getting a look behind the scenes of my favorite type foundry.

There are so many wonderful designs to choose from, but I enjoyed seeing the vintage travel posters. Thanks for putting a little sunshine into my inbox! It would be incredible to receive all of this work.

Look at all that cool stuff– this has got to be my favorite post of the year!

I truly enjoyed the interview with Dress Code. I am interested in seeing great design work from all corners diving into many styles, but hearing experience and advice from a studio I very much admire is what I enjoy about grain edit. Great writing and good questions are the things that separate good interviews and bad, and you guys hit the nail on the head.

i wanna win!

i loved the house industries interview! love all things alexander girard.

I like everything! But I especially loved the vintage travel posters post.

I agree, there were a ton of great posts, but since I have to choose a favorite it would be the Mark Weaver post. I love his work and am now hooked! Plus that post lead me to the Ken Leung Interview which was a great read because I have always been a fan of Monocle.

Wow - what an amazing give-away. Just followed/tweeted about this on Twitter. My paws are crossed that I win!!!

I loved the posts about Kevin Dart’s Yuki 7 project; the interview was especially interesting.

I think the Frank Chimero interview was done this year. He’s one of my favorites so that article was one of my favs too!

So many favs! The one that pops into my mind first was the Drop Cap. Excellent!

Love the little friends of print making interview.

but lets just say all of your interviews, they are always fantastic.

I really enjoyed the Dress Code Interview, and all of the studio visits! I love seeing the environment designers/artist create their work.

I also loved Kevin Dart’s Yuki 7 interview, but my favorite was the Hatch interview.

Frank Chimero interview was a good one!

wow….
LFOP was a pretty good read

I’m so happy I came across this website, I look to it almost everyday for inspiration. My favorite update of the year would have to be the Dress Code Interview, I loved it so much I went out and bought their book “Never Sleep” which is amazing. Cheers!

So much good stuff this year.
I really like the friends of printmaking & the photos from Tom Palumbo Photography were really good.

i love everything herb lubalin related. thanks for feeding my addiction!

This is a FANTASTIC give away! Wow! I have to say my favorite post from this year is from a few weeks ago w/ the Sollinero Illustration. So much great stuff on the site!

I want i want i want!

Dear Grain Edit, please give me a wonderful gift for the Holidays. Thanks for the constant inspiration and delight.

The recent Dress Code article was probably my favourite.

Lumadessa for sure. The simplicity and restraint in those pieces is inspiring.

I’m quite fond of the Kevin Dart interview, however I find a majority of what’s posted on here to be inspiring. Keep it up Grain Edit!

KROKODILTARAR!!!

Frank Chimero’s little how-to was awesome!

Kevin Dart was my favorite!

What a truly tremendous giveaway! So many faves this year, always look forward to the Grain Edit email… particularly enjoyed the visit to Mark Giglio’s studio and the Kevin dart interview. Thanks!

WHOAAA! This is the mother of all giveaways! I loved the Little Friends of Printmaking interview, they are super talented and so much fun! And as a fellow Argentinian I have to mention Sol Linero’s illustration post too.

My favorite was Jim Datz post!

My favorite was the Hatch interview, but I haven’t seen a post that I haven’t liked, yet. Thanks.

Favo(u)rite article of 2009 = Dress Code interview.
But my all-time pick is still the Invisible Creature interview, 2008.

Thanks for all the inspiration.

With love from Toronto,
Jaywall

The best posts where the frank chimero & the jim datz!!!
Booooyahhhh

Sneak Peek at Rilla Alexander’s Studio was by far my favorite. Great display of work space.

The Hatch interview was my favorite.

My favorite post of the year was the Frank Chimero interview. I had seen his work and completely spaced on his name and couldn’t find him anywhere. Grain Edit, you really saved me the day I saw that post. I thought I would never see his lovely work again. So thank you.

Definitely the best one was Jazzin’ the Black Forest. Great art visually and aurally. Keep up the killer posts on here.

The Frank Chimero interview was my favourite and most inspiring post. Thanks!

Thank you for introducing me to Darling Clem!!

My favorite post of the year was the Frank Chimero interview. I absolutely adore his work. I had seen some of his prints at one point, but completely forgot his name. Until the day of that post, I thought I would never find him again! So thank you Grain Edit.

I love the interview series with all the different graphic designers. So many cool creative cats!

Pick me!

(hmm, first comment does not appear)
my favourite: post(s) on Dick Bruna, i’m a fan since i was a baby (still am?)
(also liked the Vette Annonce post, use it way too often)

me likey mogwai poster - my super fave
(maybe biased as i am a big fan of the band also!)

Little Friends of Printmaking interview; hands down the best post of the year.

This is a great giveaway no matter which prizes! The Ward Jenkins print? The Destroyer chart poster? The Mark Weaver print? The great AWH shirt?

I really enjoyed the Jim Datz feature. He has such mastery of that particular 60s/70s graphic style.

vintage travel posters! i love the paris one…

Invisible Creature + Mark Weaver + Aesthetic Apparatus = yes.

I loved the “neither fish nor fowl” interview! fantastic!

Invisible Creature + Mark Weaver + Aesthetic Apparatus = yes.
My favorite article would have to be that Vintage Poster one from a few weeks back. Such a great collection of images!

As a fan of Mark weaver I have to say MArk weaver’s profile. But I also love your entry Designer’s Bookshelf: Michelle McCormick.

the Hatch interview was my favorite….probably because I wish I had designed that stuff….the font choices were beautiful and the color choices fit so well… i assume that they labor in love

Loved the article on Hatch Show Print in Nashville. We have been huuuge fans of their work for years, and finally made it over there last Xmas. There’s not much letterpress work in Australia so we really appreciate it when we see it! Keep rockin.

Nice Giveaway!! I want some free stuff so I can actually show up with gifts for people this year. I liked the Frank Chimero interview post.

wow. these prizes are amazing. LOVE.
so many great posts this year to choose from, but i’d say one of my favs was the Little Friends of Printmaking interview. keep up the good work!

The Sanna Paananen Illustration from March is really cool.

Through your posts Skinny Ships is now one of my favorite artists!!! Thank you!

Oh, that`s an amazing giveaway… I’m certainly in!
So, let’s see… My favorite post was “Eli No! Children’s Book”.

My favorite post was the Sollinero post, just a month ago. It’s how I found you and put you on my readers to begin with. I think I saw it posted elsewhere but the linkage lead me here.

So, it goes without saying that I have my heart set on that if I were a lucky winner! Or Pen Pals. Or Mobile Zoo. Or the Tanager.

Definitely, the article on Cristiana Couceiro Modern Collage Work. Great discovery.

Shoot, how to choose! I enjoy all your postings, but i guess i’m a sucker for anything of a vintag illustration bent.

Super giveaway ps!

I bookmark this website, everyday i love to start my day by viewing many cool design in this website. My favorite article is Mark Giglio studio visit.

I enjoyed the one about the Alphabeasties book!

I loved the Eli, No! children’s book post!

my fav post of the last year is “Matte Stephens interview”

I love anything you’ve posted about Mark Weaver or Dick Bruna’s work.

That would be so hard to choose. please let it be me.

Little Friends of Printmaking interview! Loved seeing the process from start to finish.

Fish Nor Fowl!

Vintage Travel Posters is my FAVORITE post from this year! Especially the one for Poland! Oh please, oh please, oh please pick me!

My favorite post was Charley Harper Illustrations - Giant Golden Book of Biology, what a flippin’ inspiration!

Too many great posts to choose just one. Loved the Cristiana Couceiro, Frank Chimero, Mark Giglio, Stefan Kanchev and the Finnish illustrator posts, among many others!

Ah, favourites, so hard to choose. I liked seeing Stefan Kanchev’s work. And the interview with Frank Chimero…

I really like the post about “Little friends of Printmaking” I am from milwaukee and live out of state right now, so it was nice to hear about some people from your hometown coming up! There is some crazy work by them.

i want anything, and everything mark weaver.

i loved the sets of vintage travel posters.

this is always my favourite post of the year!
(i do love many of the posts through the year too though.)

I’ve been loving your interviews this year and your great vintage finds.

The Frank Chimero post was awesome!

Hard to pick a favorite, but I’ll go with the Jim Datz interview. Very inspirational. Thanks for ALL the posts, and for all the great loot that I’m sure I’m about to receive.

Hey guys, I have only recently discovered your fantastic blog, but my favorite post would probably have to be the one featuring Jim Datz of Neither Fish Nor Fowl. His work is awesome. I also enjoyed the Mark Giglio studio visit… very interesting artist & work. I look to your blog to find really good inspiration… as an illustration/design student it is always thrilling to find new sources of inspiration! Thank you!

The Frank Chimero interview was fantastic. I love that dude’s work like fat kids love cake.

i can’t decide which is my favorite… but i’m going to say little friends of printmaking because i immediately bought one of their prints after seeing them on here. that was the first time i’ve bought a print online!

So many wonderful postings! I love the vintage travel posters,fabulous!
Thanks for the chance

There were two that I remembered right away. The Vintage Cassette Tape Covers (http://grainedit.com/2009/02/09/vintage-cassette-tape-covers/). I used to have a bunch of those. And the second was the Vintage Kids Book Le Vaillant Petit Tailleur with illustrations by E. Probst (http://grainedit.com/2009/07/30/guest-post-at-vintage-kids-books-my-kid-loves/). I went right out and found a couple of other books with this illustrator. Amazing work. Thanks for letting me know about them.

18 Dick Bruna Book Covers is definitely supremely awesome.

I found Mark Weaver’s work through Grain Edit, THAT was my favorite post of the year.
Mark Weaver BANG BANG—gimme gimme…

I thoroughly enjoyed the Vintage Travel Posters.

Can I win them all?

So many great posts and interviews; loved the Hatch interview; specifically the JAQK process.
