I just discovered Herman Lee, aka freshfauxx, on flickr. Like, literally 10 minutes ago. I was so stoked that I needed to get the word out immediately.
Lee is a veteran of the t-shirt design community, with wins at Threadless and DBH, but it was his work for MSCED that caught my eye. His more recent work abandons the grunge, splatter, and animal motifs in favour of a simpler, geometric focus. In fact, if I hadn’t just been told not to describe these things as retro-futurism, I would.
Looks like he’s based out of Hong Kong now, but is originally from Toronto. Spreading love for home grown talent.
