Happy Valentines Day
I hope you all have a very Happy Valentines Day. I felt it was time to step away from the computer and break out my nibs and ink. It’s nice to make things on paper instead of the screen. I hope today you will take time to step away from the computer and spend time [...]
TEAGAN WHITE and the beginning of fall
This week I found myself having to break out the hoodies and scarves. There is a chill in the air, the leaves here in Maine are starting to turn magnificent colors and I have started getting ready for the holiday season (crazy I know). Autumn really is my favorite season, I love being able to [...]
May flowers desktop wallpaper
I’ve been playing around with textures in photoshop this week. So I decided to mix a little illustration in with some fun textures and create a new desktop background for May. You can download this fun illustration right here for your favorite screen size: 2560 x 1440 • 1920 x 1200 • 1600 x 1024 [...]
Nature Etchings by Marina Terauds
I love finding new amazing artists by complete accident. Today I was google-image-hunting (its a thing) for a transit map of Walt Disney World, and I found a really great one on wolfstad’s flickr stream. So then I decided to check out what other cool things they might have pictures of, and I stumbled upon [...]
A letter from Roald Dahl

HARRY POTTER and the deathly flowers?
In honor of a very Harry Potter weekend I leave you with this!

If you didnt’t get to watch the season finale of Madmen last night, don’t worry I won’t spoil it for you. But i did think this would be the perfect time to show you these amazing pieces I scored at an antique show earlier this year. It was one of those finds that you just [...]
THE MOST AWESOME school stickers ever
Check out these back to school stickers by Illustrator Jennifer Bell. Seriously how cool would these have been in third grade. If you are thinking the same thing, you can get a printable version along with some other cool back to school stickers, from a few other artists as well, at the We love to [...]
THE WONDERFUL WORLD of paint chips
I’ve been using paint chips from Home Depot to display my brooches at outdoor craft fairs for the last few summers. But this pales in comparison to the new Sherman Williams TV ad by the amazing people over at Buck. They have animated an entire world created only with paint swatches. Seriously you have to [...]
MORE ILLUSTRATION that makes me smile
I found Alex Dukal’s portfolio site while tromping around the internet looking for something completely unrelated. I just love those happy little accidents don’t you? Born an raised in Patagonia, Argentina, Alex’s style is like a breath of fresh air. I just feel that his work is really fresh and isn’t laden with other artistic [...]
