London’s Calling….
Today’s post is brought to you by the letter U. From The London Letterbox – which I love because I am an Anglophile – well I am also a Francophile and I hope those two philes (?) can get along. If these posters from Obey Magazine don’t make you smile then I’m very concerned. A [...]

A Question and Modern Day Camp

I’m looking forward to spending some time on artwork tomorrow because now that I am working again Saturday is my day to create and it’s a day to savor, drink coffee, take McGuyver for a walk and enjoy the hills that are turning green. And it’s always a time [...]

Emerging Artists and Creative Minds
You’ve probably all seen this poster right? Now look at the little typographic change. Hilarious….(and isn’t faking a British accent so – decadent?) Need a place to Doodle? I found just the right space in this adorable little book on the Gadanke site. I know I mentioned Gennine’s shop last week but if one mention [...]

Wildlife Wall Decor
Deer in the wild are beautiful. Deer on the walls – well real ones – are wrong on so many levels. But faux ones?? Damn! They are the coolest! When we remodeled our downstairs powder room I took a mat white resin deer head and painted it gloss white and positioned right above the toilet. [...]

Handmade Books and Assemblage
I originally was just going to write about handmade books because they draw me in so much. I find them simply magical in the art that is enclosed in a small space but then I found collage work on my search so I felt it only right to share these as well. I was inspired [...]
