head case






I am fan of Paul Graves. His work always makes me pause- with the whimsy, the salesmanship...
And he just sent me this image of something he's making for a client- out of 2 kilos of 24k gold... stay tuned. Who wouldn't love to have their portrait taken/made as a balloon. Lucky Ziggy Stardust!

Had to post these images I found on the dieline. I love the patterns!








this morning's finds

i found a few fun things this morning worthy of sharing. Most come from Print and Pattern. I'm in the mood to share illustrations today :) it's a little different from what i usually post, but i wanted to mix it up. and i'm starting to rework some illustrations to show to my editor friend at Little, Brown!

Lullaby

love this cover designed by Rodrigo Corral. i picked it up and decided to read it based on the cover alone...that's what being in publishing does to you! it's a great book so far though!:

Pearson Maron

These are GREAT!! I really love this couple's work. It's whimsical and sweet and very unique:
