:: Snippets that tickle my fancy
This book cover is actually entirely digital, which bums me out a little because I would love to track down the nonexistent original and run my fingers over it. Texture and layers, how I love thee!
The colors are fantastic, the textures of the papers are fantastic, the edges and patterns created within each layer are fantastic, and yes, the typography… mmmm! faantastic!

This is mouthwateringly gorgeous.
I love how it melds an organic hand-drawn feel with a crisp digital finish, and how the muscles weave in multiple tones below the skin. (I could do without the 2 circles, but I didn’t even notice this quibble until I was already drawn in and drooling!)
Created by John Mark Herskind to raise awareness for TOMS’s A Day Without Shoes.

Look at this gorgeousness!
Oh how that S nestles and curls within the B!
Look at the delicious negative space within! *Happy sigh*
