When the Dragon Noodle Shop in Vegas needed a a new eye-catching campaign, the LA-based company David & Goliath came to the rescue. These prints play up the classic cliches found in most Chinese restaurant ads and definitely catch MY eye! Great stuff.

Studio 1482 has started One Drawing a Day, where you can find daily doodles from the desks to the internet. What a fun project! I’ll find pages and pages of thumbnails and strange sketches strewn all over my desk, but I’m not sure that they are worthy of posting. Sometimes I don’t even remember what they were for! That’s the best… Studio 1482 has some nice work on their site too. Happy doodling!
