This Wednesday, July 28th, DesignChat welcomes Illustrator & Graphic Design Professional Kate Bingaman-Burt — Author of “Obsessive Consumption” and Assistant
Hey, my name is Sharon Milne and I go by the moniker ChewedKandi. I have a passion for vector art and have been creating digital art portraits and illustrations for the past decade. I’m self taught in the programs I use and especially love teaching others the benefits and wonders of Adobe Illustrator. All the vector work I produce is 100% vector with no raster effects.
I now write tutorials and articles for sites such as VectorTuts+ and produce a variety of pieces for commercial and private clients.
The wallpaper of this week is a beautiful illustration from Chris Halasca, an Art Director from Sydney, Australia and an Abduzeedo reader. We highly recommend you visit his website at http://www.chrishalaska.com/. Also we've received some really cool wallpapers from other readers, thank you very much and you will publish them soon. If you have a great image for our wallpaper of the week let us know.

Inspiration is everywhere, I believe everyone knows that but each one of us has some preferences or things that inspire more than others, in my case it's skateboard graphics. That's why the book suggestion of this week is about Skateboard Graphics. It's called New Skateboard Graphics. If you remember we ran a giveaway of this book 3 years ago, but I was checking it out again and had to add to our book suggestion list.
