Valentine’s Day Paper Cut Art by mrYen

January 17, 2011 // kristen // 0 replies

mrYen’s shop is bursting with Valentine’s Day lovelies, and I have to say that I’m completely enamored with these sweet, hand cut initial heart keys. Order one with your sweetheart’s initial, or order multiple letters to spell out words. I love how the key looks when it’s framed. What a great gift idea, too, for anniversaries, weddings, or birthdays!

Other Valentine’s Day papercut pretties by mrYen include hand cut prints and cute hand cut heart and bow tags. You can purchase any of these items in either the mrYen Etsy shop or at the shop on the mrYen site.

Gig Posters from Two Arms

January 11, 2011 // kristen // 2 replies

I have got some serious lurve going on for these peachy Ra Ra Riot screen printed gig posters by Two Arms. They’re kind of gritty, kind of retro, and completely awesome. Downside: they’re making me hungry for peaches, which aren’t readily available in New England in the middle of winter. Ah well, I’ll just dream of warmer days and juicy peaches while I admire Two Arms’ work.

Custom Graphic Novels Featuring Your Story by Rigel Stuhmiller

January 11, 2011 // kristen // 2 replies

Okay, so I realize that most of us don’t have $40,000 to spend on a custom graphic novel that tells the story of our romance, our family, or our wedding, but if money were no object, then how totally cool would it be to have Rigel Stuhmiller create a custom graphic novel just for us? Yeah, pretty cool, I know.

Rigel is currently offering to create a completely custom, 32 page graphic novel of your story. She’ll come to where you’re at and will spend five days with you, collecting reference photos and making sketches, and when she returns home from her visit with you, she’ll develop a storyline, write a script, and transform all of the information that she’s gathered to create your custom graphic novel. When she’s finished, you’ll receive 40 hardbound copies of your book, a unique keepsake that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Rigel has extensive experience storytelling and illustrating, and her storyboards have been used in commercials and film. Her illustrations have been featured in Daily Candy, Town & Country Magazine, and The Today Show.

Here are just a few examples of the styles in Rigel’s portfolio:
