The Incredible Mr. Moss

I recently re-discovered Olly Moss, a graphic designer from England. I first learned about him when he'd post his work in the Penny-Arcade forums years ago. Even if you've never heard of him, you've definitely seen his work. He's responsible for, like, half of the shirts on Threadless (maybe that's a slight exaggeration). Like this one (spoiler alert):

And one of my brother's personal favorites, "In Case of Zombies" (I can't find the higher-res version on Threadless):

His latest project is a collection of re-imagined movie posters, which I'm really digging. Check them all out here.

And (of course) my favorite:

Your homework assignment is to go check out his work at his website, www.ollymoss.com, and his Flickr page. He's only 21, which means (a) he's going places and (b) I haven't accomplished much in the same amount of time.

Over the course of my winter break, I have had zero motivation to do any graphic design. Maybe TOA killed all the fun I had with it. But checking out Moss' work makes me want to get back to designing. I think I'll take a cue from him and start by re-designing some of my favorite album covers.
