I had to really think about your question, because I don't think that I follow any outsider designers/artists. My interests are pretty mainstream, but I'd like to expand them. I do however love to look at other graduate students' work. I don't know if any of you have ever checked out the graphic design work done by the grad students at MICA, but some of their stuff is really fantastic. Here is the link to all of the graduate work: http://www.mica.edu/Browse_Art/MICA_Artists/Graduate_Students.html. I'm not an illustrator by any means, so I find the illustrated work really fabulous. I really like this piece. I almost can't tell if the pieces of paper are actually there or not.
