Okay, one last calender suggestion. Although, technically these illustrations aren’t calenders…just monthly illustrations. Sarah Jane Studios is a local artist with some fantastic talent. Check out her etsy shop here. I want these in our next daughter’s room. They’re so adorable.
Santa used to get this daily calender for me every year. I love the whimsical illustrations and fun quotes.
Alex Ostrowski is awesome.
In one way or another we are all looking for happiness. Some people even say that man’s sole purpose for existence is to hunt down and capture this intangible and elusive treasure. In 2006 researchers at The University of Leicester concluded that Denmark is the happiest country in the world - this was good enough for me. In March 2008 I made the decision to visit happiness, and embarked upon a pilgrimage to find it. My experiences are presented in this book.
Only one copy exists.
Some interesting work at Poladoodles.
The idea formed when I started exercising spontaneous drawing and found that I had a bunch of less than perfect Polaroid shots that I couldn’t let go to waste. Each of these photographs became a tiny canvas for me to doodle, and Poladoodles were born!
Some amazing graphic design work by Mitchell Paone. Be sure to check out his site.
Worth1000 challenged photoshop users to hide an elephant. Some of the entries are pretty funny.
I like these cup designs. Very nice illustrations from the portfolio of Paulina Reyes
Check out all these wall vynil decorations. My wife can tell you when, where and how to use them. I’m not the interior designer. But as a graphic designer, I can appreciate this stuff. Tado’s work is amazing.
