The Woofer

The Woofer is from Dutch design studio Buro Vormkrijgers. 

A smart, young gentleman sent me these two images today.  They made me smile, then giggle, then want them.  I don't think they're creepy and although it may kill me, I'll spare you from the 100+ puns. 

Missed Connections

T:  We Are All Connected print by Jen Renninger,  B:  Visionary print by Shannon Rankin

You: looking for inexpensive print and wanting to support independent artists.  Me: "an on-line store bringing together a community of artitsts" wearing a green e-cardigan on the train last Wednesday.  Did we have a moment?

Prints (and loads of other great stuff) available at Little Paper Planes.  The past couple of years they've seemed to carry a lot of thin-line weight illustration.  A little place I go when I'm looking for something new.  It's been nice to see them grow.

The votes are in!

And in case my bookmarks folder wasn't already handsomely full. . . I naturally decide to go through all the runner ups just to fatten her up for 2010. (runners up?)  Please note, Fullington, that your blog crush Pink Loves Brown was a finalist.  Huzzah!  Please try not to note that Ikea Hacker trotted away with "Best Home Tech Blog".  I want to like it I really do.  I think it's all the poorly lit photos.  I'm such a jerk.  Ogle the winners here.

cover from Peter Bjorn ad John's Living Thing

Great color palate and lighting.  Takes hand drawn and animal-theme to a whole new level.  Fits well with the tone of this "new" album released March of last year.  Can I also add that, sweet jesus Writer's Block was a fantastic album?!  I can.

A Collection a Day. . . keeps the (ok I won't)

images via A Collection a Day, 2010

Artist (and fastastic shop owner) Lisa Congdon is doing something cool for el ano nuevo.  Her new blog A Collection a Day will be an addition to my weekly reads.  Why do I like 365day projects?  I'll have to look into that -- someone get me a magnifying glass.
