Yee-Haw Industries’ Old-Time Forest Pickers series is so much fun! I’m loving the illustrations, created by Bjorn Rune Lie, which include Fiddling Fox, Banjo Picking Beaver, Guitar Strumming Owl, Backpacking Bunny, and Washtub Bass Playing Coon. The illustrations are available as letterpress art prints, letterpress greeting cards, and super cool 2010 letterpress calendars:

Nora Aoyagi Notebooks and Prints

I’m really digging these sweet Musical Animals pocket notebooks by Nora Aoyagi. The simple black and white palette makes the illustrations pop, and who doesn’t love a bunny with an accordian? A set of three mini notebooks is $10 over at Nora’s Etsy shop, where you can also find super cool prints like this one:

Aesop’s Fables Posters by Ink+Wit

August 13, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

Ink+Wit just launched a line of posters featuring stories from Aesop’s Fables. The first published poster is inspired by The Hare and the Tortoise, and I’m enjoying the whimsical illustrations and mix of line drawing with lovely pops of color. I’m a fan of anything with a fable or fairytale theme and can’t wait to see the other posters as they’re released!

I discovered the work of Courtney Khail via Once Wed last week, and I was instantly smitten. Courtney creates hand painted stationery which incorporates hand drawn illustrations, printmaking, and watercolor. No two cards are exactly the same, and the result is a beautiful, handmade work of art. Keep up with Courtney through her blog, and see more from her portfolio here.
