Dutch Door Press

The fabulous Chelsea of Frolic alerted me to Dutch Door Press. I love them. Their style is so decorative and clean. It kind of reminds me of Sanna Annukka‘s work (here’s one of her pieces on my wall).

Check out Dutch Door’s etsy shop.

Nina Braun part 2

I am a big fan of Nina Braun’s work. She totally blows my mind. Here’s where I’ve posted about her before but it was not enough so I’m posting again.

“Nina Braun is immersed in an analogue world, where the obsession with material and her devotion to each individual object emerges from her very personal imagery.

Her approach to materials like wool and fabric are the base for her sometimes child-like and naive objects that result from an intensive working process”.

Parasol Magazine: Yasmine Surovec

So excited to announce the launch of Parasol Magazine and blog. It’s a Design, art, and creative lifestyle magazine, um… my favorite things.

Yasmine Surovec of a print a day was getting up to 2 hours of sleep a night so she decided to launch, edit, and publish her own free downloadable magazine in addition to working as a surface pattern designer and blogging new designs daily on her fab blog. The first issue of Parasol is amazing. It’s full of fabulous art and interviews with some of my favorite artists including Christopher David Ryan and Jessica Gonacha.

I’m so happy and honored that Yasmine included an interview with me and her favorites of my surface pattern designs.

Check out the issue *for free* here. Did I mention it’s “FREE”?
