Thomas Porostocky

rom ACAD grad Thomas Porostocky's website: Previously the creative lead at the magazines I.D. and Seed, I currently run a multi-disciplinary studio here in New York City. While ever flexible, the work focuses mostly on art-direction, identity/branding, and infographics. Some of my career highlights include being included in Print Magazine's Top 20 Under 30 selection, getting the chance to captain the highly respected I.D. magazine, and having my work included in a Milton Glaser book and exhibit. Multi-disciplinary is a very apt description for Thomas, check out his range of creative endeavors on his website: porostocky.prosite.com

Byron Eggenschwiler

yron's been a busy illustrator of late for clients such as The New York Times and the National Post, but he has taken the time to post some great new work. This ninja illustration is one of my personal favorite illustrations of the year. What could be better than being hired to draw a ninja - maybe having such a great concept too! Visit his site here: http://www.byronegg.com. Also if you are walking through the main mall at ACAD try to pick out his student work in the current ACAD Illustration and Character Design Exhibition.
