We can’t attest to the fact that Brooklyn-based illustrator Dust La Rock (a.k.a Joshua Prince) is either a gentleman or a scholar, though we certainly don’t doubt it, the least we could do is vouch for his being an absolutely awesome graphic designer. As designer-in-residence at Studio B and art director at Fool’s Gold Records and Syintific Skateboards, this extremely talented being lends his incredibly deft and imaginative eye to quite a few visual arenas. The best place to take a gander at just what beauty is in the eye of this beholder is by checking out his site. There you can revel the splendor of the oodles of web, identity, and print work that have complemented brands such as Missbehave Magazine, SeedNY and various NYC area DJ/Promoters. Dust La Rock is about to blow up, so best take cover. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Italian Laurina Paperina’s character illustration work was a breath of fresh air and light humor while walking through Pulse Miami today. The project she was presenting was called The Amazing Pape– an impressive collection of drawings and paintings that made us laugh and smile. The characters ranged from Travolta and Jackson in Pulp Fiction to Mario and Luigi (Luigi caught with his pants down and leopard underwear showing).
