I’m torn about this new company Inkd. They are billing themselves as the first market for original print design. Their business model is similar to istockphoto.com. At istock you can be a contributor, purchaser or both. You upload your photos, illustrations or video files that get added to their database for user to search and purchase your file [...]
I just thought these mutant stuffed animals from Lucy Roberts were a riot, and I had to share them with you. These little critters might even go unnoticed in a pile of toys, ala E.T. Artistic statements or playthings for the imaginative child? Either way I can’t wait to see what creature she concocts next.
If you are anything like me, you have quite a few record albums sitting on your shelf. While I really love the way some of my favorite songs sound when they are played on my ancient record player, I don’t really love the way they look cluttering up my shelves. I spent some time searching [...]
This year I’ve been doing some design work at the agency for a high end jewelry company. I don’t personally wear much jewelry, which is probably why I don’t often feature much on the blog. I often find things beautiful that have exorbitant price tags to go along with them, which just turns me off from the piece all together. Don’t get me wrong I know [...]
my boyfriend was joking that i need a new project to work on, (I currently have 4 rather large projects going on currently, one of them is of course my product line.) But that got me thinking about all the great things that are available on etsy, and all the wonderful kits you can buy [...]
I’ve never really been a big fan of decorations just for decorations. I think things you have in your home should have meaning and a story behind them. With that being said, I ran into these little stoneware creations from iktomi yesterday. Some of course do have deeper meaning, like this raccoon spirit guide, which pretty much [...]
So I had to do a photo-shoot for my new felt trivets and I thought the best way to show the colors off was to contrast them with a bowl of strawberries. So now I have some great shots of a new product and got to eat some tasty berries once the photos were taken, along with [...]
How pretty are these! I’m sure by now you know how much I love good typography. Which is only in part why I’m drawn to the new spring collection from Take Me Homeware. Made in Brooklyn by May Luk Ceramics, these little beauties would look amazing as a set, but also look just as good [...]
In passing yesterday I made a comment that people shouldn’t be writing on single sheets of paper, everyone should have a notebook. After all a very wise person once said, its not about being a good drawer, it’s about being a good thinker. Then today i get an email from Moleskine Asia, informing me about [...]
I love avocados. I get one in my salad almost everyday for lunch. So finding an illustrator who goes by the name Miss. Avocado, proves as no disappointment. Her style is a little bit country, with maybe a hint of steampunk. I mean really, robots and professors in hot air balloons, this has to be on one of my [...]
