ADC YOUNG GUNS:
I am honored and humbled to be included in this years batch of the Art Directors Club’s: Young Guns. Young Guns is their annual award given to the top designers and visual artists under the age of 30. Thank you.

Will Staehle grew up reading comics and working summers at his parents design firm in Wisconsin. Recently, he was Art Director for HarperCollins Publishers in NY, and has been labeled by Print Magazine as one of the Top Twenty Under Thirty New Visual Artists. Will’s covers have appeared in various design annuals and he has also contributed to the AIGA’s 50 books / 50 covers exhibit. Currently, Will is Design Director for JibJab media in Venice, CA. He also has his own studio, Lonewolfblacksheep, where he uses his design and illustration background to create stylized posters, fonts and comics to ensure that he gets as little sleep as possible.
Wilhelm Staehle is a horribly disfigured gentleman who often frightens small children when he emerges from the seclusion of his sprawling estate on the eastern coast of the Americas. In his free time, between sporting for foxes and dressing his disturbingly broad collection of taxidermy, he finds time to hand-cut silhouettes. He begs you to enjoy them, or to at least refrain from informing him if you do not. He thanks you for your time.
