I’ve been a huge fan of Always with Honor for a while now and I’m falling in love with their illustration style. My all time favorite illustration is this stack of pancakes and syrup. They’ve been doing some stunning illustrations for GOOD magazine here.

Here’s a witty blog about the real Mick.

“The name’s Mick. Mick_23. Seems I’m not number one anymore. People think they know me. Idiots. My turn now. Need to show what’s real.” — Mick_23
