Andrea Russo

April 04, 2011 // kristen // 1 replies

I am utterly amazed by Italian paper artist Andrea Russo’s paper folding and origami work. Wow. Just … wow. Andrea’s pieces are incredibly innovative, and some have an almost industrial look that could be mistaken for cast concrete or porcelain.

I imagine the collection of pieces below, made from paper and nylon, as the most beautiful cogs ever made for a clock.

Prepare to be mesmerized by all of the stunning work that you’ll find in Andrea’s Flickr stream.

Puffed Peonies Geometric Art Prints

March 22, 2011 // kristen // 2 replies

I’m really digging these geometric digital art prints by Puffed Peonies. The stylish prints feature clean and colorful groupings of shapes, plus a little bit of texture, for a result that would be right at home on the wall in any mid-century modern or contemporary style room, don’t you think?

Each print is signed and dated, and custom print sizes and colors are available on request.

A new batch of spring paper goodies from Rifle Paper is just the thing to bring a little warmth and cheer to a dreary Monday morning. From citrus prints and cards in sorbet-colored hues to adorable Easter greetings, super cute insect note cards (and I never thought I’d describe anything featuring an insect besides a ladybug as cute, but these are!), and thank you cards featuring Anna Bond’s trademark floral illustrations, the new collection has really got it going on!

Elephant Umbrella Letterpress Print

I’m such a big fan of Alberto Cerriteño’s illustrations, and this Elephant Umbrella letterpress print is simply awesome. The three-color limited edition print is part of Grincket, a new collaborative collection of art and clothing from Alberto and photographer, Luisa Vega. The super cute, wood mounted robot prints in the Grincket line are a must see, too!
