Some really great work by Stuttgart, Germany's L2M3.There is a ton of work to explore on their site, so get to it.
Book Worship is a new site by graphic designer Shawn Hazen that features his growing collection of books from the 50s, 60s and 70s. I actually need the book pictured above, and not just because it looks great!

Bauer Concept & Design from Vienna does some really fantastic identity work. Pictured above is work for architecture firm Sputnic (including a custom typeface), and work Syntax Architektur.
Ah, the joys of minor milestones. Thanks to all of you who continue to read Labor&Curse... leave a comment to let me know you are out there! Oh, and follow me on Twitter if you haven't already. Keep on keepin' on--
Very nice collection of print work by design studio Annis, based in Copenhagen. (Top photo: Cover of "Interrupted Game"; Bottom photo: Spread from SUM magazine)
Flipping through the latest issue of Art On Paper, I came across the work of León Ferrari and Mira Schendel, which according to one review "deal with the intricacies and ambiguities of language". I would have loved to have seen the exhibition at MoMA earlier this year, but this interactive gallery will have to do.
Great motion graphics work from Portugal-based designer Filipe Carvalho. Watch the 2 sequences pictured above here and here (Load times are a bit slow).
I used to follow Slovenian designer Mina Arko's work at her old blog Playground15, so I was glad to see that she has a proper site up now at arkomina.com. Pictured above are samples from a specimen book for her wonderful typeface Nouvelle... Now, how does one get a both a copy of the book AND the typeface?
Bulgarian designer Stefan Kanchev (1915-2001) was known for his clear, folklore-inspired work. Visit the ongoing archive to view a collection of his logos as well as his work on postage stamps, posters, and book covers.
Chicago-based artist Cole Pierce works in various mediums, including video, painting, sound, and installations. His "Tape Epiphany" (2007, pictured above) is currently installed at Antena in Chicago until September 5th. Go check it. (Update: Cole also has a blog...)
Spanish illustrator Álvaro Domínguez Gámez dropped me a line to show me some of his work... very nice!
I love this identity and promotional book for a property developer by London-based designer Matt John Gill. Go check his portfolio for more great work...
Excellent work from BachGärde, based in Stockholm, Sweden. Be sure to read Marcus Gärde's essay on grid systems, too.
Brooklyn-based artist Chris Ballantyne's paintings offer a new look at the seemingly mundane American landscape... pictured above are "Untitled, Lot (Bus Stop)" and "Untitled, Neighborhood (Tight-knit)".
Very nice work from Italian illustrator Lorenzo Petrantoni. He has done work for The New York Times, Harper's, and Urban Outfitters, among many others. Oh, and this cover for Newsweek.
Some excellent work from San Francisco-based designer Bob Dinetz... You can read about the print process of the Mika Tajima/NewHumans poster (pictured above) at FPO.
Great Sternfeld-esque work by photographer Tom Fowlks. We just ordered a print of the top photograph, "Perimeter Road, Winnipeg Canada", too!
When in Austria last month, my friend Milica presented me with this awesome book of typographic goodness from around Vienna: Stadt Alphabet Wien, by Martin Ulrich Kehrer. You can see more photos here...
Some pristine (yeah, that's right!) work from Geneva, Switzerland's Gavillet&Rust. They are also the ones behind Optimo, the type foundry responsible for Dada Grotesk.
Beautiful work by French designer Hugo Roussel. Be sure to check his flickr!
