Jenny

This is me when I'm angry, -'the look', as it is known to my familia. Digital can never replace the swoop of the artist's hand. Check out Jenny's blog, The Blackwing Diaries.

Diane Duda


This is the self taught, mother of three artist, Diane Duda. Her work is fun and she uses parts of old books (my favorite) sometimes. Just being at the library book store, I satisfied my fix for 1950's books.

Jaime Ursic

Jaime Ursic reminds me of one of my favorite artists, Mark Rothko. Her paintings are so simple and full of feeling.

Paper Dolls


Paper dolls are wonderful. I recently found an envelope of paper dolls I played with when I was little. I remember my mom helping me cut them out and how delicate they were. Yesterday, I bought a birthday card for someone with little paper dolls that punched out. I bought one for me too! These dolls are from Demarco Designs.

Silvia Stella



Illustrator, Silvia Stella, draws playful figures and has a musically pretty myspace.

Color Blok


Web sites with animated movement is childhood Saturday morning all over again! The above illustration is from Color Blok, where there is colorful still and motion illustrations. Another fun place is Zefrank.com that has a huge list of things to create with the click and swoosh of your mouse, flower gardens to snowflakes!

LockWasher Design


This makes me want to go to a thrift store or a junk yard (or my garage!) and see what I can put together. I am sure I could make nothing as cute as LockWasher Design. I love the whole recycling idea and the creativity of these robots!

More Letter Pressed genius! See the evolution of the above Presston Plush at the Letter Pressed Blog. Not to mention two artist series letter pressed card packs from Letter Pressed are traveling via the Post Office from sunny California to me in cloudy New York. Yeah!!

Una Flor de Papel


In an attempt to become more one with nature (mmm), this year we got a surfing calender with the phases of the moon as a major feature. Today, I saw this calender by Cecilia in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She features the calender on her blog, Flor de Papel. How cool is this! It organizes and simplifies the whole moon phase thing.
