The Haystack Dept is “a curation of usable, high resolution, found and original graphics, textures, type and patterns.” Some offered free, others very cheap. Interesting concept. I also love their transparent, rough logo (scroll for the effect).

James Gulliver Hancock has been drawing with his brother Tom, who was born in 1981 with Downs Syndrome. As they describe it, their continued collaboration allows them share experiences between the “outsider” and “insider” art world, as they skate between abstract form and confident technical line-work.
