Leigh Bagley creates some of most fun and vibrant geometric prints I’ve seen. The Edinburgh-based artist has a keen eye when it comes to color choices that he uses in his limited edition prints and greeting cards. The repetitive patterns and hues that he implements make my modern art-loving heart really happy.
Jerome Daksiewicz of NOMO Design has created a series of screenprinted posters featuring airport runways. He’s already created LAX, ORD, MSP, JFK, ATL and SFO, with more coming soon.
Remember Aaron Wood’s social media propaganda posters that went crazy viral?
Well, he’s at it again with some new propaganda posters about some of my favorite things: chocolate, cheese, bacon and zombies!
Ok, here they are… the absolute best of the best, crème de la crème, most popular posts of the year. If you read only ONE post on Design Milk, this is it!

Up-and-coming Taiwanese designers Chay Su and Rika Lin certainly have a bag full of tricks, literally. These may look like posters, but they’re actually three-dimensional, fully-functioning bags.
Our most popular Art posts this year tend toward the graphic in style, with clever shout outs to the social media realm as well as references to the historical. We’ve also included the crafty, like the insanely intricate cutting of leaves, the kitschy (hello My Little Pony), and some good, old-fashioned mixed media work. More than anything else, we find it’s a sense of humor that binds them.
The Positive Posters
Bisgràfic studio and The Positive Posters collaborated on a series of prints handsomely broadcasting optimistic phrases that can be downloaded from your own computer. There are iPhone and iPad wallpapers too.
I just discovered Dottir & Sonur and I love their first collection of colorful, graphic products.
Swedish designers Marit Lissdaniels and Angelica Utterberg are the creative minds behind Little Studio, a company that makes graphic prints, pillowcases, trays, and cutting boards. The duo is inspired by how children view the world and the way they think outside the box where, as they say, “a triangle could just be a triangle – but it can also be a mountain.” Their happy and colorful designs are playful enough for children but will work equally as well for adults.
Christopher Gray‘s simple graphic illustrations are just the pop of color my walls need. And they’re affordable starting at about $80. If you think you kinda recognize that top one, it’s Gustav Klimt’s “The Kiss.”
Jason Dean of The Best Part has done it again, releasing a creative new print that reminds me of a creepy movie I recently saw called The Orphan in which the little girl’s drawings dramatically changed when a blacklight was shown on them. Jason’s Day and Night poster looks like a pleasant town scene until you turn off the light. At night, the poster glows in the dark, revealing a completely different scene that includes zombies, robbers, and other seedy ongoings… what a fun idea!
