A slow, slow week for the Bunny.
Grunge-Mail [Issue 04] - Chatting about my new texture pack, Checking out Peyton Webber's design work, and more...
Howdy, and welcome to another thrilling edition of Grunge-Mail, the weekly newsletter where I, Grungiest Bunny, touch base with you good people and share cool ongoings with me, Graphic Design, and more!
For those who aren't in the know this past week I released my new texture pack (use the cheeky code: ‘BUNTACULAR’ for 20% off) there’s some great stuff in there that I often use in my own work, so go give it an oogle.
This has admittedly been a pretty unproductive week for me, between the release of Threads and getting sucked back into cowboying on Red Dead Online (whilst screenshotting everything for an upcoming poster based on that.)
Designer of the Week: Peyton Webber (@oneeye.design)
Webber’s work is really fun. I’m very keen on their digital hand lettering in particular that always makes their designs pop out in a very illustrative way. Their range is also crazy, and seemingly never too latched to one particular aesthetic throughline but rather experimenting with different vibes to fit each given design and the story they’re trying to tell with it. All of their compositions are articulate, rich with detail, and good on the eye(s)! The two posters I’ve decided to highlight are some of my favourites but go check out their Instagram and print store to show some love to the rest of their stuff!
My recent work:
I’d seen this ‘Barbenheimer’ mash-up idea going around on the internet as a bit of a meme recently regarding the shared release date of the two films. But I hadn't seen anyone do anything beyond very grifty-looking t-shirts. So I threw this together! It’s blown up a little bit on a few of my socials which is always funny.
This Poker Face design might not look like much but it really took it out of me! I did about three different takes on it until I was satisfied enough to just put it out into the cosmos so I may move forth with new things. As always I recomend you try practice the same philisophy or risk being trapped!
What I’ve been consuming with my eye’s and ears:
Secret Invasion: I’m sorry. I have to tap out with this second episode. This show feels very much directionless without anything to really make me care to watch it. Wake me up when Daredevil comes back and then we can talk again MCU.
Red Dead Online: One moment you’re in a scenic cowboy horse ride, the next a 15 year old with a hacked game client is zooming about burning down full civilisations with a plane. Expect nothing more or less if you try this one out, the developers have abandoned it for better or for worse.
Cool Things Corner:
Posterspy is doing a kickstarter for a neat art book of Aleksander Walijewski’s design work.
A free ‘Rockies’ font from Brandon Nickerson Studios, nice and retro.
For those who don't know, Twitter has been melting itself to death recently. So in addition to it and Instagram I’ll also begin posting my work and updates on Threads also under @grungiestbunny. It's effectively Twitter but owned by Mark Zuckerberg. See you there?
