The Wikipedia definition of Big Data is: “a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools…”
Thom Sevalrud has a way with taking just this type of complexity and in his very unique visual vocabulary communicating the idea clearly, like no other. That’s why Brian Donahue of Be Design called upon Thom to illustrate Why Big Data is a Big Deal for Macalester Today. Brian is also a big fan of Thom’s hand lettering so he also asked him to illustrate the headline for this feature as well.

Mark Hoffmann has been having big fun creating smallish art for the Enormous Tiny Art Show #13! His naive visual vocabulary is, as always, full of wit with an underlying deeper wisdom. Of his art, Mark says, “The work is meant to be perfect through its imperfections. The boards I paint on are warped and frayed around the edges. Perspectives, proportions, compositions and colors are intentionally left awkward to add to the conversation.”
The show runs from February 1-25. Check out the huge selection of art (no larger than 10″ x 10″) for sale at very reasonable prices here. Better move fast because some have already sold before the sale has officially begun!
If you’re local attend the opening at the Nahcotta Gallery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Friday February 1st, 5-8pm.
Here are a few of our faves from the featured Mark Hoffmann collection:

Tracy Walker created this map for Middlebury Magazine, working with design director Pamela Fogg. Looking for a non traditional approach to map making Pam wanted Tracy’s flare for taking complicated imagery and making it harmonious and simply beautiful. In the map below, Tracy depicted all of Middlebury College’s ski facilities in a double page spread for the Winter 2013 Issue. Tracy was in her element creating this piece; as she says, “It’s not often enough that I have the opportunity to create maps, luv ‘em…more maps please!”

Philippe Béha illustrates 5 Bogus Reasons Why You Can’t Lose Weight. Working with VIV‘s art director, Vickie Vidana Ellman, Philippe injected a healthy dose of whimsy and humor into his depiction of the mythical excuses women make as to why they are unable to lose those extra pounds after age 40.

At this time of year it’s all about sharing the season’s delicious treats with our friends and family. This lovely fresh image created by Alanna Cavanagh for her holiday surface design collection, was chosen by designer, Margaret Dyer (who has such good taste), of Austen Eliot Communications. It was sent out to her clients as part of a limited edition gift basket presentation. Printed on a beautiful matt stock, the colour just pops!
Wouldn’t you just love to send this greeting card out next year? In 2013, i2i art will be exhibiting at SURTEX and one of our stationery clients is sure to snap this image up for their holiday line, so stay tuned.

Working with Erin Martin, marketing manager at Sunriver Resort, Doug Martin continued (for the 7th consecutive year) illustrating the 2012 Traditions Guide. The guide outlines over 100 activities families can take part in at the Resort over the holiday season. We think the retro twist to the design emphasizes a return to good old fashioned family fun! Wish you were here?

Don’t miss the annual Holiday Sale at Nook in Kensington Market, Toronto, this weekend–Saturday Dec 8th 1-8pm, and Sunday Dec 9th, 12-6pm. Tracy Walker and a handful of other top Toronto illustrators will sell their original art and crafts at NOOK in Kensington Market. Last year I did most of my Christmas shopping there and family and friends were delighted with their ‘one-ish-of-a-kind’ gifts! Tracy will have some lovely new tea towels, greeting cards, buttons, prints and shadowboxes for sale (for a sneak peep see samples below).
Prints of this stunning new image will be available.
These are two of Tracy’s latest surface designs–featured on beautiful linen tea towels.

Sneak peek: Rémy Simard, working with editor, Alison Kooistra, has brought Anna Fienberg’s words to life in Annick Press’ latest Graphic Novel, Horrendo’s Curse. Horrendo and his young friends enter into the dangerous world of swashbuckling pirates, where they are captured and worked to the bone. In the meantime, they are even busier as they conjure up their cunning escape plan! We’re sure you’d love to find out what happens next, but I’m afraid you’re just going to have to wait until the fall of 2013 when Horrendo’s Curse hits bookstores! More to come…
