Dan Stiles

Printeresting has excellent coverage of Flatstock 24, which was held at this year’s SXSW (South by Southwest) design conference, and the gig poster fangirl in me is in full swoon over a number of poster artists whose work they’ve featured, including Dan Stiles. I love, love, love his graphic style and use of color and would probably buy a copy of every one of his gig posters and art prints if I had more wall space and my wallet would allow!

Illustrator Alberto Cerriteño has just released a gorgeous limited edition giclee print called Sora the Winter Angel, and I’m loving his wonderfully surreal style coupled with an oh so beautiful, subdued palette. The print is available as a limited edition of just 20 prints, so head on over and check it out before it’s sold out!

Weekly Wrap #16 : Polka Dot Elegance

Polka Dot and Feather Gift Wrap

I found this week’s inspirational gift wrap via a wonderfully inspirational, new to me blog called A Gift Wrapped Life, which features many great tips and suggestions for gift giving, and plenty of gift wrap ideas, too. I love the use of polka dot paper in such an elegant fashion, and the feather just gives the package an ultra luxurious feel. Beautiful!

Unfortunately, the blog which originally featured this wonderful wrap idea doesn’t seem to exist anymore. How I wish I could’ve seen what other inspiration it surely held!
