See all parts of the Luke Williams interview here!

Okay, so, I hate to say it, but there is a little bit too much coolness packed into this post. I am sad to think that some of you will not click on every single inspirational link I provide you with!

Alright, so hopefully you’ve examined Luke’s “Thanks for Nothing” cards and read about his work. Now, read about who he’s inspired by (um, plus some other great links that didn’t fit in Part II):

So, who is Luke inspired by?

  • His mentors & professors, including the fabulous Ellen Lupton (whose book Thinking with Type I spontaneously bought NEW one afternoon, something I hardly ever do).
  • His parents, who are both artistic. His dad even owned his own graphic design studio before he had a family.
  • Jessica, who I can only imagine is his girlfriend: “To be around someone with such charm, goals and motivation is contagious,” he says.
  • The “fellow designers” of his generation, including Alex Trochut, Emil Kozak, and Christopher Cox. (You will be sorry if you don’t visit the web-sites of these fellows, their work is so cool!)

By the way, Mr. Cox runs the graphic design blog www.changethethought.com, to which our new friend Luke is a contributor. (It’s a well-designed page with great content, and cheap art for sale.)

Other links to visit: It’s Nice That (exhibition where Luke’s work is being shown), and Destroy Today (in case you are wondering: “To destroy today is to make the most of the day — destruction as a form of creation”) the web-site of a fabulous web-designer I have come across many times before, who is apparently working with Luke to re-do Luke’s web-site!

If you can’t get enough of Luke you can order prints which will be “happily produced upon request.” Just send him an email at luke@lukelukeluke.com.
