another family affair

Tom's cousin has a children's music class in Chicago (via Music Together). I just did a quick logo for her.

two great designers

I discovered this beautiful iPhone app on BloesemKids. Finally ... a well designed kid's app. Most of you already know it is not common. The illustrator of these adorable animals is Ryan Clark (who works for Forge in Dayton, OH). Be sure to check out his other animals (and get your free iPhone wallpaper).

And through GrainEdit I found local Denver designer, Justin Fuller. Goodness he is good. It is nice to see that great designers are everywhere.

unbelieveable dalton ghetti

Would you check out these pencil tip sculptures?!? I am in awe of the detail.

blanket and books

I can kind-of knit. I wish that I had the time and patience to make this gorgeous blanket. Then I could curl up in it and read one of these books. All covers are designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Her sense of the nostaligic is wonderful. I feel like I just picked them up off of my grandmother's bookshelf ... but the colors aren't as faded.

not quite a fashionista

My sense of what is "in style" has slowly diminished since I became a mom. Most fashion mags leave me feeling frumpy and way out of touch. So I am probably behind the eight ball in discovering Fly London. Oh my ... what awesome shoes. With a belly that looks like I am carrying a large globe, shoes are about all I can dream about until I get my bod back.

raw art letterpress

I love the irregularity of type in these prints.

kindergallery

Finally someone has taken amazing artwork designed for children and put it in one place. Unfortunately it is out of Sydney. The Kindergallery needs to move stateside and all would be perfect!
