These are the coolest stickers ever!!! Cafe con Leche sells lots of amazing art stickers featuring the art of Roi and Ines as well as artwork from some very talented guest artists. I’m definitely buying some to put all over my notebooks for next semester.

I love love love Retro Whale and couldn’t resist post some of their newer stuff. Their artwork is so fun!

Being a huge Wes Anderson fan and also a lover of coasters, these seem too good to be true. The Royal Tenenbaums is definitely one of my all-time favorite movies. Ah so good!!!

Loving everything from Fine Little Day. “Fine Little Day is a multidisciplinary art and design platform and brand. Sprawling, impulsive and inconsistent. It is not faithful to any single line and does not have the ambition to be cohesive or even well thought through. Fine Little Day specializes in playful creating based on pleasure and joy.” What a wonderful philosophy!

Figured I’d share what I’d been up to in printmaking class this semester. These are two prints gone mixed media pieces that I was really happy with.

Happy Monday! I’m heading into my last week of classes (finally!) so soon I will be a real person again, and blog posting will be back and better than ever.
Andy Siharath and I went to Millikin together for a little while. He’s an amazing photographer and I adore flipping through his flickr photosteam. Here are a few of my favorites. Check out his work!

Sorry friends for the inconsistent posting. As the end of the school year draws nearer things just keep getting crazier. I promise to be back to daily posting this summer. I love this series from This Years Girl. Foxes, and bunnies, and lambs, oh my!

Sorry for the lack of post yesterday, I was en route to my home in Arlington Heights for the weekend. It’s going to be a very busy weekend, I’m working on a big paper-cut project for the band The Great Waltz, I can’t wait to show you how it comes out!
Your eye candy for today is a gorgeous print and wooden birds from Sanna Annukka, I love her style!

Happy Monday! Thought I’d share some cute fungi themed finds. I think the combination of start of spring and the local flora biology class I am taking this semester have me extra fascinated with botanical specimens! The beautiful print above is by Dana Ray and available in her shop Groundwork. These cutie mushrooms are from Handy Hand’s Corner!
