A favourite of mine: Mike Perry

After hearing from the manchester based graphic design duo DR:ME in a lecture recently, they metioned how they had visited america and managed to wangle some design experience with legendary designer and illustrator Mike Perry. After being shown some examples of his work and viewing his books 'over & over: A catalog of hand drawn patterns', and 'Hand Job: A Catalog of Hand-Drawn Type' i felt compelled to feature Mike on my blog, as i feel he is a big inspiration to me. 

He is as i mentioned before, a designer and artist from Brooklyn, who uses a variety of mediums. He also has a love for the hand drawn, which i feel is a very refreshing and innovative angle to his work in the highly digital world of which we live today. In particular, I love the huge impact of the bold shapes and forms he uses combined with bright, happy colours.
