Kern and Burn recently interviewed Young Guns 8 winner Mikey Burton about his self-proclaimed Midwesterny design style and why personal projects are essential in his career.

Plus, its always nice to have another bit of income," said Mikey. Ready the interview in full here.

02/13/2012: TIM GOODMAN: VALENTINE'S TWEET MARATHON

Designer and illustrator Timothy Goodman (YG7) just announced that he will be drawing a unique valentine for each of his 1150 Twitter followers tomorrow from 7am to 7pm. "I have developed great relationships with people in my personal life because of Twitter. That being said, everyday I have conversations with designers and illustrators on Twitter that never go beyond the monitor in front of me. In spite of this, I wonder how I can honor these virtual relationships? Can it be done outside of technology? And besides the typical gifts we give each other on Twitter—like a mention or a retweet—what would it mean to make an analog gift for someone who is following me?" said Timothy. Visit Tim's blog to read more about this V-Day challenge, including a statistical breakdown of how many sharpies, cards, and sandwiches he'll need to accomplish his goal.
