This Paper Ship Prints

April 11, 2011 // kristen // 1 replies

I’ve been looking for a few prints to hang on my kitchen walls, and these awesome giclee prints from This Paper Ship are right up my alley. The illustrations are a little bit retro and a lot of fun, just the vibe I’m going for to coordinate with my ever-growing collection of Fiestaware, and I’m completely taken with all of the wonderful hand lettering. So sweet!

Jason Munn Gig Posters

Incredible work, as always, from Jason Munn (The Small Stakes). All of these gig posters are completely awesome and so very visually clever, but the Ben Gibbard “camera” poster has got to be my favorite. What’s yours? – via French Paper

Such an uplifting message, and such a gorgeous new art print from enormouschampion.

On My Wishlist : Paper Cutting : Contemporary Artists, Timeless Craft

April 04, 2011 // kristen // 3 replies

For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been seeing sneak peeks from what looks to be an incredible new book about contemporary paper artists. Paper Cutting : Contemporary Artists, Timeless Craft features work from so many amazing creatives, including Elsa Mora, who designed the gorgeous paper cut cover, and Rob Ryan, who also provides the preface for the book.

Also featured are a number of my personal favorites, including Yulia Brodskaya, Patricia Zapata, Su Blackwell, Matthew Sporzynski, Cindy Ferguson, Helen Musselwhite, and Emma van Leest, as well as many artists whose work I’m excited to learn more about.

The book is available for pre-order now through Amazon.com, and it looks like it will start shipping in mid-April, and you can find some great sneak peeks at Elsa Mora and Patricia Zapata’s sites. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on this book so I can pore over all of the amazing work that’s certain to be found within its pages!
