more stuff i like

Some of this stuff I really like, some of it is not so great.

Have you seen this?

old drawings from a true artist

Hesh up, I don't want to hear any arguing. These are great and you're too modest.

owl dance party!

Something fun for a friday afternoon.

(some) lovely things

I believe from Getty, but found again in my inspiration folder.)


Donkey!


(I wish I knew where I found this, but I love it.)


Tillus.


(found here)

And this lady has a lovely collection of work.

fun stuff

Not that I'm really into flowers or anything, but these crafts are pretty cute.

nom nom nom

We didn't do much this weekend, which was a welcome change, and I didn't craft at all. But I did make pancakes! Ricotta/ginger/coconut flake pancakes topped with bananas. Delicious and remarkably simple to make.

IWTSY Project #2

I think we'd both agree that typography's power is limitless.

Your project:

• Use some/all of this text

• Create a typographic "illustration" of this text (below are some examples), using only 2 colors (black + another color of your choosing)

projects

Working on some drawings based on OkCupid matches along with some wiener dogs for a commission.

sexy illustrations!

It appears as though I'm mostly inspired by animal illustrations...perhaps I'M 5...

Inspiration: patterns

My last post reminded me that I have a slew of patterns saved on my mac in my "inspiration" folder. Each is bright and fun and actually pretty simple. Do you ever draw patterns? I think I'd like to make some fabric from some of my patterns. I cannot properly remember the sources for each image, but I would guess they're from flickr, getty, google, ffffound, etc. Actually, one is mine. I'm sure you can tell which–it's the least professional/well-made. ha!

sometimes i play with crayons

I found this on my work computer while organizing. Am I five?

ta-da

root veg soup

This may shock you, but Jake and I are battling sinus colds so I decided to make some soup. I thought these colors were great, and was sad to see them vanish when the soup was puréed in the vita-mix. Note the tips of the veggies as I cut them off – dried up witch nipples.

Note: I need to save up for a new camera so I'm not using a point-n-shoot.

Tissue Paper Poms

A project I think I could handle. Thanks, Martha!
I think I'll try some of these this weekend. (Lots of tissue paper left over from the holidays. Thankfully Tillus didn't shred ALL of it.)

felt pillows!

if i had time, i'd love to make one of these pillows!

or one of these...

i command you (me)

a wild saturday night

I've been saving envelopes for some time. I think the designs inside are neat. Last night I decided to use some bits of them to cover pencils. I coated them witha varnish but I wonder if it will feel tacky when someone is writing with them.

project #1

You have one week to make something that includes:

• at least one eye from this image

• this color somewhere

• any or all part(s) of this landscape

• and something hand-drawn

best of luck to you, my fladbough! can't wait to see what you make.
