Tomi Um
by Jeremy Lehrer
Tomi Um's personal illustration projects have a decidedly Buddhist flavor. In the lusciously screen-printed foldout comic The Feast, images of the Buddha and other members of the sangha appear in a joyful riot of color, line, and ink. For an upcoming project, Um is illustrating a narrative called The Noodle Monk. "I've really liked the shape of those curly noodles my whole life, and they're fun to draw," she explains....

The Sicksystems
by Charlotte West
When he was 18, the Russian graffiti writer and graphic designer known as "Aske" founded the Sicksystems, a graffiti crew that gradually--as is happening more and more frequently these days--evolved into a creative collective and began getting work from high-profile clients like Miller and Nike.

Nikolay Saveliev
by Marlow Riley
When Russian-born designer Nikolay Saveliev was still studying at the Rhode Island School of Design, he came to New York City and worked in an unlikely field: go-go dancing. "It was the worst way to start everything off," he says. "I made some good money; it was all in wadded-up dollar bills. I did it for a week. Then I got an internship at Landor and got to do that instead, which was a good thing."...

Lotta Nieminen
by Jane Lerner
The Helsinki-based designer and illustrator Lotta Nieminen entered her first design competition when she was 12 years old; she won the grand prize--a hulking PC--by creating an entire issue of her very own fashion magazine. "My magazine featured self-staged fashion shoots modeled by friends, and epic stories about seals and Spice Girls," Nieminen says. "The whole layout was made by hand with pencil illustrations, hand-lettered type, and cut-and-pasted photographs. I guess they saw I really needed that computer."...

Katrin Schacke's work arises via unusual means: She designs by stacking. Her 2008 thesis project at the Hochschule fuer Gestaltung in Offenbach, Germany, was called "Stanley: The Open Question Magazine." The project visually represents the seven biggest questions in science, using things like white lamps, umbrellas, rubber boots, and an enigmatic sphere reminiscent of Albrecht Duerer's Melancolia I....

by Steve Dollar
Accomplished in multiple formats and technologies, Karim Charlebois-Zariffa has the spirit of a jazz improviser: By the time he becomes recognized for a particular signa- ture, he's already ripping it up to start again. "My favorite thing is experimenting," says the 26-year-old, Montreal-based designer, who has produced openers for Canadian television shows such as La Liste, and titles for film directors like Philippe Falardeau. "I like to say that I don't have any style."...
