Nate Williams was awarded a coveted Type Directors Club 2007 award in the hand lettering category for his work on the All Together Now Beatles CD compilation for kids by Little Monster Records. The CD is covered front and back with Nate’s wildly creative hand lettering and of course his illustration too. Look out for a new CD in the series from Little Monster Records who have recently gone independent, good for them!

Nate Williams’ dreamy poster announcing the Festival de l’Oh! can be seen throughout Paris and its outlying areas. The poster is for the annual river festival held in the small town of Val de Marne, France which is situated on a historically important riverway. The poster and a number of other illustrations were commissioned through an international artist selection process that reviewed artists work from a number of countries before a final decision was made to assign the project to Nate. Additional illustrations can be seen on the web link above.

Archiventure has included an illustration by Nate Williams in it’s launch of Re:Vision, the first in a series of ‘Competitions For Visionary Thinkers’. Eight visionary urban artists were commissioned for the project including Ricky Watts, Blaine Fontana and Ferris Plock.

The five current competitions Re:Volt, Re:Route, Re:Store, Re:Connect, and Re:Vision, challenge us all to be bold, think big, and imagine that we all have the power to change the world. Themed around urban development, transportation, economy, community and architecture, each competition encourages the exploration of visionary ideas for the design of urban space.

Nate’s illustration for Re:Vision accompanies a competition that will ultimately transform an actual run-down city block into a thriving mixed-use area centered on the family and local business.
