Book Lust: Sign Painters

Faythe Levine is at it again. I already have her awesome Handmade Nation book and now I can add her new release Sign Painters to my holiday wish list. I'm so envious of anyone who can paint like this. So. Cool.

Japan Inspired

I will be purchasing both of these items in support of Japan. Both are so lovely, it's a no brainer.

Etsy Love: Katherine Watson

Lovely wood block prints–that bright cyan is creeping in as my favorite color, and I'm always on the lookout for great tea towels!

The dudes I used to work with at Spunk just opened an online store! Yahoo! Go check it out and grab some merch. I've already got these two posters framed up in my house.

Beautiful. 'nough said.

Like I need more posters...

I love posters. Love. By far the best part of being an adult and owning your own place is the ability to cram in as many lovely prints as possible and then switch them out to your hearts desire.

Stumbled across these on Etsy and of course am now debating how much heckling from friends and family I want to endure about the purchase of more prints.... but at only 16 bucks each with 4 dollars shipping, they're a steal of a deal!!

yes please: Pantone espresso cups

Yes, I realize the cheese-factor of a graphic designer coveting any Pantone product, but I can't help myself! I use my Pantone book daily (at work we only match to PMS colors) and swill coffee like there's no tomorrow, so really these would be perfect... if only I could choose which set I like best.

found via the A PLUS R store and I'm sure many other places...

Yes, Please: Posters

LOVE LOVE LOVE this poster by

(Burlesque of NORTH AMERICA)

Yes, Please: Posters

If anyone needs any ideas on what to get me for a housewarming present, look no further than the latest from Adam Turman (one of my uber fav local designer/illustrators).

I hadn't been to his site in a while, but a post over at rockstarwantabe led me back and oh how excited I was to see some of his new stuff.

I already have this rocking test print that I snagged during the Art Attack at the Northrup king building last year, and I would love to expand my collection.

(the test print I already own... and LOVE)

A few of my favorites (all images from Adam's site):

(San Fran!)

(Target Field, the Twins fan in me wants it... a lot)

(Isn't this a perfect way to collect them?! Postcards!)
