I recently discovered the work of UK-based illustrator, Moira Millman, and am completely taken with her fun and quirky style. These are a few of the limited edition gocco screenprints available in her Etsy shop, and you can check out her portfolio of illustration and hand lettering work at moiramillman.co.uk. More of her fantastic work can be found on her blog.

Gifts for Paper Lovers 2009 : Art Prints

December 02, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

The other day I realized that I’ve never done a holiday gift guide on this site. I know, I can’t believe it, either! And it’s a shame that I haven’t, because there are so many awesome gifts out there for paper lovers. Well, my gift guide eschewing ways are about to change because this year I’m doing my first (what will hopefully be) annual Gifts for Paper Lovers holiday guide.

Art prints are always at the top of my holiday wishlist, and I could fill my own gallery with the number of prints that I’m coveting at any given time. Digital, letterpress, gocco, screen printed — I love them all! Here’s a selection of what I’d like to see on the walls of my home this holiday season and all year long:

Clockwise, from top left: The Enamored Mico by Alberto Cerriteño; Alice in Wonderland by Elsa Mora; Owl by Von Glitschka; Winter Doves by Dee Beale; Street Parade (from the City Floats series) by Bumble Ink; Partridge in a Pear Tree by Byvik Ink; Llama Penpal by Labpartners

Clockwise, from top left: Barriers by Frank Chimero (get it while you can during his Hamilton ($10) Sale); Weather by Harry Diaz; Fuzzy by Louella Press; Pen and Paper City Prints by Karen O’Leary; Wilkintie Gift Box (for the very good boys and girls on your list); Live What You Love by Hijirik Studio; Some Bunny (Pink) by Two Trick Pony (save 20% on this and all of their other goods during their Holiday Sale!)

Mindy Wilson Poplar Leaves Gocco Print

August 31, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

Like it or not — I definitely like it — fall is on its way. The weather was a bit chilly here over the weekend, and a touch of autumn was in the air. It made me think of all of the wonderful things that are to come in what is one of my favorite, if not my favorite, seasons. Spiced apple cider, pumpkins everywhere, warm and comforting foods, Halloween, and beautiful falling leaves, like those found in the colorful Poplar Leaves Gocco print by artist Mindy Wilson. See more of Mindy’s wonderfully evocative photos and prints over here.
