A Beer-Themed Screenprint

I’m starting this week off with a bang, and it comes in the form of a screenprint! This hand-pulled Nitro in Action print features “one hell of a brew” and fantastic (as always) hand-lettering and illustration by Mary Kate McDevitt. I can think of a few beer connoisseurs in my life who would love to receive this as a gift.

I love me some anthropomorphic food, so I’m getting a kick out of the fun art prints in Teo Zirinis’ shop . I mean, how could I not be completely enamored with congo-ing breakfast food, ninja toast, and zombie broccoli?

Check out all of Teo’s cutie patootie illlustrations right here, and have a peek below:

Silver Foil Stamped Disco Print

Akimbo Silver Foil Disco Print

Akimbo’s new, silver foil stamped “Midnight Fever” print pays homage to the era that brought us “Saturday Night Fever” and so much music that still makes us want to get down and boogie the night away. Just pretend that the silver letters are the facets on a mirror ball, turn on some music, and dance, dance, dance!

Speaking of dance music, here’s one of my favorites from the era:

NSS ’12 : Booth Details

Several booths that I spotted during my NSS adventures not only held great collections, but they also contained little, eye-catching details that made me think, “ooh, that is SUCH a clever thing that they did there.”

Kristiana Pärn’s booth not only displayed her darling cards and art prints, it also featured playful paper cutouts of her characters here and there:

Studio Olivine’s oversized sign instantly caught my attention, as did their lovely letterpress cards (more on those later):

The Everything Little Miss team executed the chalkboard theme so well, and I loved that they blended tradition with trend by hanging neon paper cranes in the corners of their booth:

The ladies of Paper Lovely & Fat Bunny Press were also rockin’ the chalkboard look, and they cleverly changed up the color of the chalk “awnings” to reflect whose side of the booth you were on. Great signs, too!

Old Tom Foolery’s booth was slick. Great signage, and it was so smart of them to build in custom areas where they could display framed versions of their new “Words of Wisdom” prints:

Leah Greenberg’s bold and whimsical fabric backdrop was the perfect compliment to her fun line of illustrated paper goodies:

And, of course, Wild Ink Press’ ombré booth walls were showstoppers:

Yours is the Earth

Yours is the Earth

After I featured Yours is the Earth’s lovely new wedding invitation collection on Invitation Crush a couple of weeks ago, I popped over to their Etsy shop and, boy, am I glad that I did. I have a feeling that foodies, farm stand fans, gardeners, and home canning connoisseurs will become instant fans of their seasonal food-inspired collection, which includes posters, canning labels, gift wrap, recipe cards, postcards, and more featuring Yours is the Earth’s whimsical illustrations and lettering. Here’s a little taste of what you’ll find in this fresh shop:
