I get such a kick out of seeing the artistic process behind the work of designers that I admire. Seeing what they do and the steps they take to create prints (or cards or any papery goodness) inspires me. It gives me hope that some of the manual processes of days gone will survive past this moment in time where we embrace technology too readily. True art, to me, is more than moving pixels around on a screen. Creating it means getting your hands dirty.

Christopher Harrell from Brotherfire provides the perfect example of what I’m talking about. Not only did he create this kick ass poster, but he also shares a video of his process. It provides an interesting look at what it takes to create a unique piece of art.
