Spring Cleaning Paper Illustration by Zim & Zou

May 10, 2016 // kristen // 0 replies

Zim & Zou continually blow my mind with their incredible paper illustration and sculpture work, and these cover and spot paper illustrations that they created for the Washington Post Local Living Magazine are simply wow. It’s so easy (and fun!) to get lost in all of the little details, which include everything from the bristles on a dust broom to “dust” covered letters to the little holes in a cleaning sponge.

You can check out more of Zim & Zou’s wonderful work from this project and more right here. Who knows? You might even get inspired to do some Spring cleaning of your own after looking at all of these bubbly, squeaky clean illustrations.

Fox & Fallow Spring / Summer ’16 Collections

May 09, 2016 // kristen // 0 replies

The National Stationery Show is less than a week away and, even though I won’t be there in person, I am SO excited just thinking about all of the wonderful paper goods that will be on display!

Stationers like Brisbane, Australia-based Fox & Fallow (booth #1545) are most certainly adding to my excitement, with three collections that will be launching at the show, including the awesome Summer Vibes collection, which features a perfect pastel palette, totally tubular geometric pattern, holographic foil details, and ’80s-inspired illustration. How rad is that calendar (above)?!

In addition to the Summer Vibes collection, Fox & Fallow will also be launching Aloha, which has a lovely, tropical vibe, and Totem, a must see for anyone who loves chic, modern paper goods. The full launch includes four calendars; beautiful, fabric covered journals plus a 2017 planner (Fox & Fallow’s first!); clip board packs that include super cool, engraved clipboards and cedar wood pencils; and an array of goodies with holographic foil details.

I’ve gathered just a few of my faves from the new collections below, and be sure to keep your eye out for all of the fantastic, new paper goods over on Fox & Fallow.
