I love Radiolab. I also love gocco. So the new print series benefiting Radiolab, In Radiolab We Trust, is right up my alley. The series, curated by Jez Burrows, includes prints from Always With Honor, Jim Datz, Jessica Hische, Lab Partners, and Richard Perez. Grab your copy from the edition of 100 here.

May 13th, 2009 by samanthatroy I’m back at work today — making the rough mental transition from vacation mode to work mode. I thought some of these items from Etsy might brighten my office, and help make the transition a little smoother.

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.

Owen and I are members of the etsy team Etsy Greetings. It is a pretty active group of greeting card designers. One of the things I like most about selling on etsy is the sense of community and support you feel from other sellers. Etsy teams are a really great way to help build those connections.
Etsy Greetings is running a free shipping for Mother’s Day promotion from April 13th – May 5th. We’re offering free secondary shipping (to the US and Canada) on cards from our Cards for Mom section.

We’ve just added some new Mother’s Day card to our Etsy shop. We’ve been having a lot of fun with hand-drawn type lately, and while there is a lot going on on the card, but we are pretty happy with the results.

Click here for a few other Mom’s Day appropriate cards.
Mother’s Day is May 10th (in the US and Canada, at least).

Without a doubt one of my all-time favorite etsy shops is Lab Partners. Owen and I already have a bunch of their prints, but I am really excited about the one I purchased last night. It is an artist proof of one of the prints from their Hunt & Gather show.
I think they do really great work and love the ways that they use gocco. Plus, Owen and I are both total suckers for a visible halftone.

If you get a chance, check out Kirsten’s new etsy shop. So far, she is selling beautiful watercolor paintings of feathers and gocco-printed cards.
