Monsters Are Real ....

An agency that just keeps inspiring me on the basis of their classic work, and direct execution is that of Invisible Creature. i think ive mentioned them before, but if not heres a small recap. Invisible Creature is a graphic studio based in Seattle run by brothers Don and Ryan Clark. as well as being wizards of art direction, they also belong to a rock band by the name of Demon Hunter .... too cool.

cutting to the chase, these guys work alot around the music and entertainment industry, having created a huge amount of album artwork and promotion for the worlds leading bands and artists. seen the latest Foo Fighters record cover? yup they did it, along with countless others.

having worked with richard last year to visually conceptualise an idea for an album cover for the band Box, i recently came across a feature on Invisible Creature's work for the band Bleeding Through's album, "The Truth". it brought back alot of memories, fusing themes and issues relative to the music and band, cutting ideas to the core and executing them so simply as to push a powerful lasting message. Great designers, pushing a style i love. clean and straight to the point, no vector rainbows or swirls of bullshit to be found. trends are overrated. dig their work below. buy some of prints. support good artists.
