So it goes in this fun, whimsical 2-color print by Allan Peters, a Minneapolis based art director. Allan’s print work is bold and engaging, with a strong emphasis on identity and typography. I feel that his work is elevated through the attention to detail and unique typographic choices.
French illustrator Blexbolex is killing it with the illustrations for his latest book Dog Crime, published by Nobrow Press .

Printed using three spot colors, Blexbolex’s illustrations are bright and punchy as they use an array of overlaid forms.
