To everyone celebrating today, Happy Independence Day! Paper Source locations across the country broke out their Silhouette Cameo die cutting machines and plenty of red, white, and blue for the occasion to create vintage-inspired subway art poster window displays. Teams at each location were provided with a list of words and phrases that they could include on their posters, and the results are red, white, and blue-tastic!

Check out all of the vintage-inspired subway art displays over on Pinterest.

I am so digging these folksy screenprints by Alexandra Snowdon. Each individually hand-pulled print features sweet illustration and whimsical hand-lettering and is printed onto archival quality, acid free paper using solvent free ink. Prints are signed on the front, and the reverse has a small “hand printed” stamp made with archival quality ink.

I’ve been meaning to share Sarah Yakawonis’ incredible work with you since it popped up in my inbox a couple of weeks ago. The Portland, Maine-based illustrator and graphic designer discovered the art of quilling in 2010 and has been passionately pushing the medium into new and unexpected territory with creations like her amazing, quilled drop cap series.

Head over to her blog for additional shots/details of her latest projects, and be sure to drop by her shop to pick up prints of some of her quilled creations. Don’t miss her headshot – hint: it features a quilled beard!
