New Regan Smith Clarke Line OUT NOW

In case you did not know, Regan Smith Clarke has released a new line. There are t-shirts and longsleeves, which focus heavily on clean and simple graphics. I do not mean simple as in crappy designs, but the simplicity gives the design a certain elegance that only leads to positive feedback. Take a look and maybe there will be something you would like to purchase.

My personal favorite, The Highest Quality Seal 

On a side note, I've noticed other companies using a seal as well. Maybe this type of design is very effective for business.

Old Inventions Longsleeve It is a unisex shirt.

Great Anti Smoking Ads

I came across this site and they had a bunch of ads that were not boring anti-smoking ones. Some of these are pretty damn good. You can see them all here, but here is a preview of what you will see.

How to Approach Art Directors WITHOUT being annoying by Mike Byers

Mike Byers, a Canadian illustrator, writes a couple points for approaching Art Directors without being annoying. Some people may call persistence annoying, but here's 5 bullet points that may help to not be thought of as "annoying."

1. Target Your Audience

The absolute first step you should take is to narrow your contact list to the Art Directors who are actually looking for the type of work that you do. You’ll only be wasting their time, and yours, if you are soliciting clients who have no interest in hiring you.

Examine the work that they’ve done in the past and consider whether your work or approach fits within that scope.

Having some knowledge of an Art Director’s work is obviously a good practice anyways when building your mailing list, but it’s also the best way to make a good first impression.

King Noir - The Story So Far Video

King Noir is a a clothing that is influenced from tattooing, music, and the skateboard culture. Tom and Lawrence, the owners, hand print everything. Here is a video of their story so far. They went with the HBO show feel of "How to make it in America". It's a little too long and watching the video makes me think this brand is more for Brooklyn hipsters than any of the counter cultures they're going for. It's funny that I say that since they're from Britain. The design I do like is their dead doll, which comes in three colors. http://www.kingnoir.com/store/

Never as it seems by Zerobriant now available

This shirt designed by Zerobriant is now available for purchase. I personally thought this was the design that would've won the whole 10k competition, but I'm wrong. I honestly thought this was the best design and competitions like these always never happen as you expect. Pick up this shirt, before it's sold out.

This is so true, because these type of clients do exist.
