Ilovedust create a taco truck for Armenco Catering’s line of bespoke trucks. After spotting several taco trucks while traveling through California, the design boutique was inspired to create one of their own.

Ilovedust outfitted the exterior with a colorful array of facts about the truck and how it is produced. For example, the custom refrigeration in the truck could store 4480 pounds of packaged meat and it would take the average American 66.8 years to consume that amount.

The truck is currently en route to Chicago.

In the wake of the devastating March 11^th earthquake and tsunami in Japan, five B&A artists have created original work to benefit relief efforts. The Selby, Tim Marrs, Ilovedust, Paul Oakley and Tatiana Arocha have submitted designs to One Thousand Cranes for Japan that can be downloaded and made into origami cranes. A donation to the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund offers up a downloadable design with instructions for how to fold it into a crane.

The project is inspired by an ancient Japanese legend that promises that any person who folds one thousand cranes will be granted a wish. The project’s creators hope that participants will display their cranes prominently so as to inspire others.

The Toyota Prius is celebrating its first decade with an illustrated history. Ilovedust created 10 comprehensive illustrations depicting key facts and events. Starting in 2000, the year the groundbreaking car debuted in dealerships, each narrative highlights milestones from the car’s history as well as world events. The Prius’s global expansion, technological advances, awards, and its place in pop culture are all highlighted.

Ilovedust also inserted stories and incidents in each. As Toyota prides itself on the Prius’s environmental benefits, important milestones relating to environmental concerns or events are also shown in the illustrations.  For example, 2002 was both the first year that the city of Los Angeles offered free-metered parking to Prius owners and the United Nations’ International Year of EcoTourism.  But the narrative also notes that 2002 was the year that Australia’s Great Barrier Reef began experiencing “coral bleaching.”

Users can also log online to set up running challenges with friends and compare each person’s progress. At the completion of each challenge, listen to a recording of encouragement from Nike athletes and celebrities.

Nike celebrates the unveiling of their new iPhone app with a new campaign by ilovedust. The graphics by ilovedust are displayed in Nike stores internationally. Sarah Worthington of ilovedust says, “ilovedust has been working on the Nike+ GPS iPhone App campaign for some time and are very excited it’s finally happened. The artwork was to support the launch of the new Nike+ iPhone app campaign. A lot of ideas, a lot of hard work, but definitely worth it! A proud moment for ilovedust as this has now been rolled out across Niketowns worldwide!”
