Grady McFerrin, and I almost crossed paths during art school. So close! Same school, same art program, same years of study. I would've loved to see his work in person. Luckily I discovered his illustrations a few years ago through Chronicle Books, and have been hooked ever since!
Now he's based in Brooklyn, and besides his amazing work with Chronicle (as seen above) he's also rockin' out some amazing Band Posters, Wine Lables, and other beautiful projects.
In his interview with Communication Arts, he gives us some great quips about his process, inspirations, and how he overcomes blocks.
He also gives some stellar advice from Max Fischer's character in "Rusmore".... “I guess you’ve just gotta find something you love to do and then do it for the rest of your life.”
