Thumbtack Press

There's an absurd amount of amazing art on the Thumbtack press (newly redesigned) site, and, best of all, it's all really affordable. I think what they are doing is amazing- making great art accessible for all. Here's some of my favorites from (top to bottom) Mar Hernandez, Jeremiah Ketner, Irana Douer, Mark Frauenfelder, and Kimiaki Yaegashi and Chris Lyles.

Love this Irana Douer print!

Irana Douer's Etsy Shop

Irana Douer's illustrations look excellent on these tees. She also has some of her lovely hand-painted teacups available.

My Favorites so far #1

Monday morning will be my 1,000th blog post, so I was trying to figure out a cool way to celebrate. VBunny on Twitter reccomended I do a 'Best of' spanning my past posts, and I think that's a great idea!

I really love everything I blog about. If I didn't, it wouldn't be here! Every single one of my past posts was about something that was inspiring to me, and I hope my posts have been inspiring to you, too!

Here's the first of two posts about some of my favorite finds throughout the last couple of blogging years. This is a SHORT list- trust me, I could easily have posted my "top 100" favorites!

1.) Meredith Dittmar. Dan is actually the one who first discovered Meredith's work. I am in utter awe of the intricacy and delicateness she is able to construct. Her work is absolutely beautiful and lovely.

2.) Irana Douer. The illustration work by Irana Douer really gets to me. It's uncomfortable, colorful, and visually stimulating.

3.) Baby C. I think Baby C is going to be super duper famous. Her work is so creative and so much fun, and she maintains a sensibility about her illustrations that goes far beyond just cute illustrations. Watch out, Baby C is coming!

4.) Catalina Estrada. I have loved Catalina's work for a few years now. I was fortunate enough to meet her in person when she had a show in Los Angeles. She is one of the sweetest people ever! Her work is gorgeous, and I am so happy that she is being recognized all over the globe for her talents.

5.) Bubi Au Yeung. Bubi Au Yeung created Treeson, and Treeson is my favorite toy. He is so heartwarming and darling, all I want to do is hug him. I love Bubi's happy, friendly characters.

Makool Loves You

Cute girly little clothing and accessories can be found on the Makool Loves You site. I really like the added details on the tops!

They also carry Irana Douer's ceramic hand drawn cups, which I adore!

Irana Douer : Work for Sale!

The beautiful work of Irana Douer has been catching my eye for awhile now, and I am so excited to see these new pieces, for sale here. SO affordable (ranging from $50 - $150), I wish I could buy them all! I never buy art for investment purposes, but I would bet that Irana's work definitely won't be this affordable for long.

Thumbtack Press

Parte 1 by Irana Douer

I always buy art, and then wait until I can afford to frame it. This method has left me with a huge pile of unframed art that I totally love, but don't want to frame cheaply. I was pretty impressed with the Thumbtack Press site, they have great, affordable prints, and then offer to frame them. The framing isn't too cheap, ranging from about $69 and up, but professional, quality framing is expensive, so this is actually a bargain.
Here's a few of the pieces I was especially taken with:
