I have just been introduced to the amazing work of Richard Lohse, who started off creating systematic oil paintings and later went on to produce some killer prints. I love how his work looks like the dither on a low resolution digital image yet it is created by manually placing blocks of colour with perfect registration.
Wow, these guys got in touch with us in regards to the new Jiro Bevis t-shirt they have printed, but it doesn’t end there…just go take a look for yourself. Rad.

Hannah is an old classmate of mine and probably one of the best drawers that I know. Then she started translating her drawings into huge lino cuts and other large scale prints. Totally mind blowing.
One of the biggest trends in graphic design at the moment is the use of bold, overlaying colours and lots of warped / scanned typography. Pretty much everything that I love. This post is the work of Amsterdam-based design studio Drawswords, which was founded by Rob van den Nieuwenhuizen (NL). The studio’s work is characterised by visually strong, clear and refreshing content-based typographic solutions. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Gabriella likes to draw detail and experiment with pattern. At the moment she is working on screen prints onto different fabric applying the patterns to garments. She mainly likes to hand draw fine lined and plans to use her prints for a T-shirt business that she is setting up with her sister in Brighton.
The post lady keeps on bringing us wonderful mail here at 129 Bethnal Green Road. Today we got a lovely package from Amy Leigh, who sent her ‘baise-moi’ zine along with some posters. From what I can tell she is a graphic designer with a sense of humour and a passion for cinematic smut. Please keep sending your wonderful printed matter to us via mail and we will create a feature page for all things posted.
