Collage Artist: Catherine Dudley

Catherine is a good friend of mine that lives here in LA. Unfortunatly, she is leaving soon and moving to Austin. Catherine and I studied at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago together. Her work is so graphic, beautiful, and inspiring. I love her use of found objects, text, and color. You can view her work now at the Stellar Somerset Gallery in Palo Alto, California. In the meantime, check her out at CatherineDudley.com. PS> I'm hoping she's going to give me a piece of her art for our wedding gift.

New Identity for Saks

The designers at Pentegram are the best. I love what they've done with the Saks logo. Basically, they sliced into 64 components that are arranged in different configurations on bags and boxes.
