Featured Designer | Ray Fenwick
Ray Fenwick...oh Ray Fenwick. He is my favorite non-traditional typographer/
illustrator/pattern designer of all time. I first came across his work while I was going through a mega Threadless phase. And I do mean MEGA. I purchased about 20 shirts from said website whilst going through said phase.
I was really drawn to the shirt
A. because it was typographicly striking
B. I love hand rendered type
C. it was awsome
I soon purchased another of his shirts and then looked into the man behind these amazing designs. And that is when I found Ray and fell head over heels. Not only does he do typograhic designs he also is a total wiz at pattern design. And not like your grandma's wallpaper patterns, but funny yet beautiful patterns. For example the picture to the left is actually a pattern. And no one can deny the awsome-ness of it. His site features loads of examples of his work including some prints that he made featuring the lyrics to a bunch of L.L. Cool J songs hand written out.
I really now regret not purchasing the Ray Fenwick bed sheet I found at Urban Outfitters. I thought they were too expensive and didn't get them. A few days later I decieded I really wanted them and by then they were gone. Oh well, that's my fault.
But visit his site if you have a chance. It always a really good time.
