Yao Cheng Watercolors

May 13, 2014 // kristen // 0 replies

Yao Cheng’s watercolors are absolutely stunning, and I love the mix of more traditional subjects, like the beautiful rose bouquet above, with modern abstracts and geometric pattern that you’ll find among the lovely art prints in her shop. Each original watercolor is printed on archival 192gsm paper stock with fade resistant ink.

Depeapa

The sweet and slightly surreal humans that populate Depeapa’s illustrated art prints instantly caught my attention. What can I say, I like nerdy dudes with cupcakes on their heads. They make me smile.

You can check out everything that Depeapa offers, including tea towels, tote bags, and darling wooden brooches, in their Etsy shop.

Telegramme Studio

London-based design collaborative, Telegramme Studio, are purveyors of some badass paper goods. Gig posters, art prints, greeting cards – they’ve got a little bit of everything, and the retro modern style found throughout their collection is right up my alley. Here’s a taste of what you’ll find in the Telegramme shop (they have an Etsy shop, too) :

And I have to give a shout out to their Conversation Cards, each of which contains lined note paper that’s been stitched inside to help get the conversation started. Clever concept!

Citrus Prints by Sarah Abbott

February 10, 2014 // kristen // 0 replies

I spotted these fresh, modern citrus prints by Sarah Abbot on Pinterest recently and was instantly taken with the beautiful simplicity of the illustrations. They also remind me that warmer days are ahead, which is a real pick-me-up during this seemingly neverending winter. Go away, snow!

Available in a set of three A5 (8.3″ x 5.8″) sized prints or singly as A3 (16.5″ x 11.7″) sized prints. Cute citrus badges/pins are available, too.

Love for Sale by Dirty Bandits

January 27, 2014 // kristen // 1 replies

Dirty Bandits is certainly living up to their name with Love for Sale, a series of art prints inspired by the desire we all have for love. The naughty, gold and white matte foil stamped prints take their inspiration from vintage showcard paintings that could be found in store windows and grocery stores advertising their sales and specials. Just the style needed for a no-nonsense marketing campaign!

The sometimes sweet, sometimes dirty, and sometimes just plain silly prints were lovingly printed by Coeur Noir Specialty Printing in Brooklyn.
