Ben the Illustrator has teamed up with us at Thunder Chunky to create a new project selling exclusive art and design pieces to raise funds for UNICEF's Haiti Earthquake Children's Appeal!

'Renmen' (pronounced 'rainmain') is the Haitian word for 'love' and with The Renmen Project we hope to spread a lot of love throughout 2010, working with various world leading artists and designers to produce and sell exclusive pieces of work, all themed around 'renmen' or 'love'.

To mark the end of the decade we've built an interactive time capsule, full of work from a bunch of our favourite designers and illustrators. Each artist was asked to pick one piece of work to represent themselves to visitors in the future! :)

We here at TC have been big fans of Meomi’s cute critters for a fair few years now, so we were chuffed to hear that they’d landed the contract to do the mascots for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. And with only a year to go till the fuzzy fellas (including a Sasquatch!) launch the event, we thought it’d be great to sneak a chat with Vicki Wong – one half of the design super-duo!

For those who are uninitiated, http://www.blogactionday.org/ is an annual event that unites the world’s bloggers in posting about the same issue on the same day on their own blog. And we here at TC are very proud to take part this year, and introduce the issue of climate change. It’s an issue which affects all of us around the globe, but how can we as designers and illustrators make a difference? Who better to answer that than a host of our favourite creatives from around the world? So here we go with a bunch of top notch tips and awesome pics!

*New on TC* - exclusive (in-depth!) interview with PIXAR Graphic Art Director Mark Holmes :)

When you think about 3D animated movies, it’s easy to forget that they’re entirely man-made creations. From the characters, to the cities, to the weather, it’s all been thought up in somebody’s head. And add to that the huge impact of graphics. Every brand is thought up, every billboard, every poster, every interface. And Mark Holmes is a guy who’s had a big impact on a stack of these brilliant graphic treats!

We're quite excited to launch our first society6 grant! This first one is an opportunity for one of you budding artists out there to get your very own interview on TC. Fingers crossed it goes well and we'll more than likely have more grants in the future too! :)
