Friday, October 10th, 2008When did it get so cold out? I was just hitting my stride tan- and A/C usage-wise when suddenly, it was fall. Alas. Though I prefer summer, at least the change in season means I can have pumpkin pie (best pie ever) and take my fierce boots out of storage.
It also means [...]
Draw draw draw.
Friday, October 3rd, 2008The drawings at draw draw draw make me smile - the style reminds me of the illustrations in some of my favorite books growing up, and the blog is like a kind of droll graphical diary. Artist Liz Tjepkema says:
Computers frustrate me, but I like blogs. This blog will feature drawings documenting my stuff [...]
I Am Still Alive.
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008Remember the We Are So Good Together print I loved this spring? Here are more great prints from Dylan Fareed’s Brooklyn design practice, I Am Still Alive: I Can’t Get No, Gravity’s Rainbow, The Seven Rules of Astronomy (”shit be hot, shit be not hot” - ha! loves it), and Holler.
A few cool prints.
Monday, September 29th, 2008From London design agency SampsonMay - Radius ‘09 (a radial 2009 calendar), Dirty Bird, and Use Two Hands. Though they work primarily on design projects for corporate clients, the people at SampsonMay spend their non-work hours on great art prints like these, among other things. Take a look at their online shop, Justgonesix.

Tabletop Baskerville.
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008Too cool… plywood coasters fashioned from carefully cut Baskerville letters, from New York design student acd. You can find these on Supermarket here (and a version in clear frosted acrylic here!).
Toys.
Friday, September 12th, 2008Tap into your inner kid with these beautiful hand-sculpted wooden animals from Romp, made of made of pear, walnut, beech and other woods and finished with beeswax. So carefully and beautifully done…
Via elephantine.
The abc’s.
Monday, September 8th, 2008Love this alphabet chart from The Small Object, created wholly from their line of rubber stamps. Goofy little creatures - from underdogs to dust bunnies to teeth - cavort in rows across the chart, illustrating their letters. Available in sepia and green.
These posters don’t suck.
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008Check out this array of seriously awesome original posters from The Poster List - a little bit vintage and thoroughly, well, rockin’. I’m especially tickled by their take on the ubiquitous Keep Calm poster…
Via Design Milk.
Sitting pretty.
Monday, August 4th, 2008Even more sweet songbirds, this time in three dimensions. Those handy with a needle and thread will find plenty to keep them occupied at Spool, including a pattern for this mobile. I like the real branches - a naturalistic touch.
Boids.
Friday, August 1st, 2008Indulgent little birds with sweet teeth from illustrator Kate Wilson. Having smuggled a jar of confiture d’abricot home with me, I’m with Lily on this one… though mine wasn’t free or from the hotel.
Also check out Kate’s gallery, flickr, or etsy shop for more of her sweetly quaint drawings.
Gallic globes.
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008I have to admit that I am still feeling some Paris withdrawal (come on - the food, the architecture, natives who linger over coffee at all hours and believe cabbages to be the epitome of cuteness - can you blame me?), so this vintage-style French globe from the beautifully curated Rian Rae is especially appealing.

Egg pants… and the Supermarket.
Monday, July 14th, 2008First off, these are amazing.
Egg pants! Ok really they are just egg cups with feet, but sometimes it’s all about what you name your product. Egg pants! The world has more joy in it now, thanks to Kegan Fisher and Liz Kinnmark’s Design Glut.
I found this on Supermarket, an online shop chock-full [...]
