Pier Gustafson

Pier Gustafson’s work is exquisite. Based in Boston, I caught mention of his name at the website for Barbara Lynch’s newest restaurant, Menton (he did calligraphy and illustration work for her) and ended up clicking over to happily peruse his online portfolio. Two projects of note were a custom flag commissioned as a Christmas present (love that he made a blueprint to give so the recipient could have input toward the final product) as well as an invitation and accompanying rsvp card to a party celebrating an important promotion.

Are you wondering what the final flag looked like? Here it is: I just love it!

Do click over to Pier’s website and have a look. This is truly only scratching the surface. In fact, I’ll close with one more clever design:
