mikey burton repost

(working on similar work & needed the inspiration so I'm reposting)

Totally in love with his work. If you're looking for inspiration, please do yourself a favor and visit his site. It's letterpress & ink porn for me: www.mikeyburton.com

Illustrator Tutorial • Create a seamless pattern

Back in the day (ahem, 3 years ago) Else Poo created patterns by hand - hand drawn most times, hand laid out and hand everything. Pain in the rear trying to make the seams match up so you can turn the pattern into a brush and/or wallpaper.

This is much easier. (read article here, via PeHaa.com)

Illustrator & designer. Some feel that this "style" is getting old but I never get sick of it. I think it's gorgeous and miss Alice is very talented. Awesome work, Alice. www.alicepattullo.com.

Here's some of his work:

My husband is an Evil Dead fanatic! If you get the movie and you're a designer, you're probably soiling your pants right now looking at this poster. How can you communicate so much w/ so little? Pure design brilliancy. I love you, Olly.
