The talented triple-threat (designer, illustrator, writer), Mr. Stefan G. Bucher, turned 35 today. Stefan has been a good friend to me these past 2 years, & he’s been kind enough share his work & keep me company during the wee hours of the morning (seeing how we share similar sleeping schedules).

Today, NvP had the pleasure of celebrating Stefan’s birthday with the man himself!

Before entering his cool apartment, we were greeted by his flock of festive flamingos.

Oh, and here’s the birthday boy with plushy monster number 80. I commissioned Wenny to crochet this little guy, after all she did such a bang up job making amigurumi versions of us!

It’s a lovely, snowy day in Jersey. Being that I’m sort of stuck indoors, I thought I’d take some time to share about another designer/illustrator that I love, Mr. Stefan G. Bucher. I first came across his clever work while at uni.

Born (1973) and raised in Germany, educated at the Art Center in Cali, and now living out of LA, Mr. Bucher started his design career as an art director for Wieden & Kennedy. He’s currently the man behind the curtain of the 344 Design Studio. He is responsible for CD packages for KCRW DJ Jason Bentley, the Solar Twins, Linda Wang, Whitney Houston, and Sting.

From 1999-2001, he served as He was the vice-president of membership for the LA chapter of the AIGA. In September of 2004, the Art Directors Club of New York selected him as one of their “Young Guns,” honoring him as one of 35 outstanding creatives age 30 and under. And his illustrated column ink & circumstance appears inside the pages of STEP magazine.
