Illustration: Magic creatures from the world of graphic designer Samuli Saarinen
We at It’s Nice That are big fans of moonlighters. Did you know that Ryan Gosling moonlights in a band called Dead Man’s Bones and Erykah Badu is also a midwife? Anyway, Samuli Saarinen is a moonlighter which basically means his website indicates he’s a graphic designer but it transpires he’s actually a very talented illustrator. Enter through the dark doorway to his Flickr account via his main site and be welcomed into a world of funny, sometimes manic, very impressive illustration. Mystic creatures, red-nosed businessmen, aliens and well-composed squiggles make for a really enjoyable bunch of work. Nay bad for someone still studying their degree!
