DJG Design (aka Danny Gib­son) is an artist/designer I’ve been admir­ing since I was in high school. He was the artist doing the show posters and local album cov­ers in my home­town and has since expanded his pop­u­lar­ity to more than just the mid-west United States.

DJG’s media of choice really varies. He uses col­lage, draw­ing, paint­ing, and also plays around with typog­ra­phy to cre­ate his images. There is a lot of con­sid­ered hap-haphazardness in his work; some pieces look chaotic, but they are always eye-catching and make sense. He holds back at the appro­pri­ate time to make sure a mes­sage is communicated.

DJG’s work is full of non-sequiturs and the pair­ing of images that don’t nec­es­sar­ily go together. It is very rem­i­nis­cent of a lot of local show-poster cul­tures I’ve seen, but I think that his work is smart enough to go beyond just that, to some­thing that’s a work of art.
