Feeling Inspired

So, I've spent my day off trawling the internet for new illustration/graphic design...and I've managed to find some really good stuff! Here are some favourites...making me feel all inspired!

First up is Mogollon, an art direction studio, specializing in branding, graphic design, typography, illustration, motion graphics and pretty much everything else design wise! My favs are the editorial and self promotional stuff. Check it out here http://www.mogollon-ny.com/




Janine Rewell is a helsinki-based illustrator and graphic designer who has recently been nominated as one of the twenty hottest new visual artists of 2010. And you can see why...her work is amazing!! Defo one of my new favourites, off her website I choose the Nokia and some product design for Sporks!

Next up is Ginette Lapalme, a Canadian illustrator who's work is wonderfully weird, I really like her colour palette and the different mediums she uses. The Silkscreen prints and the animations are lovely. Check it out for yo'self... http://www.ginettelapalme.com/




Lastly is London-based King Noir a lifestyle/streetwear brand. They hand draw and hand print there apparel. I really like the design on the tees and there reasonably priced, they also sell bags and prints! They have a cool blog too http://www.kingnoir.com/

Mumps on the move

Well, hopefully. Oli and I will be making the move back to Liverpool soon, and moving in with one of our good friends and fellow designer Ash Spurr! We will mos definitely miss the RYL...but with us moving into a HOUSE this time round, we're getting all excited at the prospect of decorating and putting our own touch on things on a bigger scale, rather than just a few rooms of a flat. So here's a list (a rather ambitious list) of some stuff we would love to own to make a home.

Fafi x Adidas...

New Kicks!! This is one of Adidas' recent collaborations with french graffiti artist Fafi. I've been a big fan of her work for a while now and always looked to her for inspiration in illustration, she has a real talent for creating a whole world with her beautiful characters. This the third collection Fafi has done with Adidas, I've missed out before...but I got my chance this time round in the shape of the Honey Mid...





Perfect for some Ryff Rydin' in the RYL...Check out Fafi's blog http://fafi.coolcats.fr/ lovely stuff.

Malcolm and the Machine snapps

Here is why Mumptown has been very busy for the past few weeks. We had the opportunity to illustrate a lovely (if not strange) story written by John Dredge for Anorak. The issue is out now (find it in magma, whsmiths...plus many more) Once we get our copy we will post some pics, for now here are a few snapshots of the SIX pages Mumptown created! We had so much fun doing this, and we hope you like it!

Throw your W's up!

Us at Mumptown got very excited when we heard the news that Wu Tang were doing a reunion gig in Manchester this August. It's safe to say we will be purchasing our tickets pretty sharpish, I don't know exactly how many of the clan would show up to a gig these days, but needless to say it will be a good show anyways. Oli and I have chosen one each (of many) favourite Wu tracks...enjoy!



Teee's

Mumptown have been busy the last few weeks with some work for Anorak Magazine so we havent done any blog posts for a bit. But more will come soon with shiz we like and also the work we have been doing.



There's some good Tee's out and about...
