Illustrator Matt Green turns his hand to 3-dimensional merchandise with Brenda; a laser engraved, hand finished bamboo iPhone case made by Grove that is arguably more impressive than the phone itself.

I dropped Matt a line to let him know we featured him on the blog. He was happy to hear that, and sent this wonderful illustration in his email.

You shouldn’t give to receive, but when you do [receive that is] it really is quite nice.

A sense of humour is something you just can’t buy. Add a touch of self deprecation and you’ve got the individualistic work of illustrator Matthew Green.

We worked together on Volkswagen’s Incredible But True campaign a few years back, and Mr. Green’s new work proves he’s lost none of his touch.

Time Out magazine and ads for The Economist (bottom image) are other places you may have seen his distinctive wood cut style, but really Matt, with such a rich list of clients, I have to say icantbelieveitsnotbetter.
