One of my new favorite artists, Jon Klassen. I LOVE his use of color, content (lots of nature), and texture.

I first became aware of Evelin Kasikov last week when some of her work was featured on Black Eiffel. I was completely blown away and contacted her immediately to see if she was interested in being the first of our mini-interviews with artists, designers and crafters. Evelin graciously accepted. After reading her responses to our questions, I think I might love her work even more. I definitely recommend spending some time looking at her site and exploring some of the other pages of her beautiful books.

It’s always interesting seeing what design students are working on these days. Pretty nice colors and textures found on Under Construction.

Since I’m a big fan of silkscreen, gig posters and the Decemberists, here is a collection of some of their beautiful show posters.
Even more posters, and all the poster credits, after the jump. 3 comments Tags: Colin Meloy, Decemberists, etsy, handmade, Poster, print, printmaking, silkscreen | Category: Art, Crafty things, Graphic Design, Things we like, Things we want I am fantastically fond of felt. Needle felting, pressed-fiber felt, felt in all forms. It’s fuzzy and comforting, yet substantial and strong. Here are a few fabulous felty finds from Etsy.

Some really great prints I wouldn’t mind having on my wall. I especially like that the last two pieces have the words forest + girl in the titles! All prints are available through artstream.

It’s really gloomy out today and I was up early with a bunch of nervous energy for some reason. Oddly (or miraculously, rather), the only thing that helped me calm down was seeing this silly little thing that I made one restless night. It’s small and simple, but it made me happy, so I thought I would share.
We’ve just added our new Father’s Day card to the etsy shop. Owen and I are both really happy with how they turned out. The Father’s Day cards are available as a single card and also in a set with a Mother’s Day card for a little discount. Just a reminder: Mother’s Day is May 10th and Father’s Day is June 21st. Special: get 10% off any May etsy order from Design des Troy by mentioning you read theexpertsagree.
