TREASURING HAS MOVED!
I've moved Treasuring over to my website, so you can now find it new and improved RIGHT HERE. Please update your readers and subscribe if you haven't already. Thanks!(You can get email updates from the new site, too, if that suits your fancy!)
I'm seriously digging these pieces by super_furry on flickr. But who are you, super_furry? What's your real name? Do you have a website? I gotta know!
Gosh, I really love these. If anyone knows the designer's real name, please do pass it along to me! His work is making me very happy this morning. Check out more here.
I came across Sarah Palisi's work on flickr recently, and I loved it immediately.. Her line work, the detail, her use of color, all of it.
And isn't the internet just so cool, Sarah and I have struck up a friendship now-- a girl in Georgia and a girl in Germany. So far apart, connected through the internet. Amazing.
If I were an art director, I would scoop Sarah up to do some work for my magazine-- her illustrations are so visually stunning, I can imagine they'd add so much depth to stories in magazines. (Art directors, don't you agree?)
You can find Sarah's gorgeous work in a number of places: on her website, on flickr, on her blog, on the Behance Network, on her facebook fan page, and on twitter! Oh, and she has an etsy shop and an Envelop shop. This girl is busy! And oh-so-talented.
Brittni Wood (who you may know as the lady behind papernstitch) recently sent me some images of her paintings, and I was excited to share them with you because look! They're awesome!
Brittni's originally from Stockton, California and now lives in Jacksonville, Florida, which makes me jealous, because I bet it's warm there right now. (Is anyone else insanely ready for spring time??) She's beginning to get her artwork back out into the world after spending the last year and a half building up papernstitch. Check out all the places she's already exhibited, though-- she's only 25 and already amazingly accomplished!
I am always so intrigued by artists' color palettes, and Brittni's is no exception-- I love the muted tones, and I especially love the piece below with all that white. You can see more of Brittni's beautiful work on her website and in her etsy shop.
Brittni has kindly offered a 20% discount in her etsy shop to all of you who read this blog, because she is awesome. And you are awesome. Just enter the code 'TREASURING' when checking out, or convo her for a special listing.
Thanks, Brittni!
All these textures that Emma Hanquist uses in her work are just fantastic. And combined with the pencil drawings... well, it just seals the deal for me. I love these illustrations.
Oh my goooooooodness, I'm majorly drooling over these fabulous paintings by Gabe Brown. Aren't they beautiful?
Holy moly, I'm in awe. Gabe: new favorite artist for today.
Sometimes I wish I could step into other artists' heads to see what's going on in there-- this is definitely one of the heads I'd like to peek into. So creative.
The piece above is what started it all. I was browsing ffffound.com, and I saw it. It was love at first site.
So you can bet your bottom I clicked right over the bee things etsy shop, where my love continued to grow, fiercely and quickly.
I mean, look at this stuff! It's the best, right? If I all of a sudden found a pile of $100 bills sitting on my desk next to me, I would use them to buy everything from this shop. I'm not kidding, I love it this much.
But what really sealed the deal for me are these:
The most adorable screen-printed lunch bags I've ever seen in my whole life. Agh! I've actually never seen screen-printed lunch bags, which makes them all the more genius in my eyes. Can you imagine how cool a kid would feel when pulling this out of his backpack at lunch time? Oh my god, I would feel so cool using one NOW!
Please please please, if there's one thing you do today that you find recommended on this here vast internet, please make it visiting this shop. I think you're going to freak out at its amazingness.
And if you get really excited, you can visit their website as well. It's just as good. And you can follow them on twitter! I love the internet.
I found Nathalie Otter's work over on the Behance Network, and I love her ideas and sense of humor.
I mean, look at these illustrations!
I think I wish I were Scandinavian. I think all the artists and designers there have the most fantastic sensibilities about them, and Lotta Nieminen is no exception. I love her work.
She's represented by the super-cool agency Pekka, based in Helsinki, Finland, and you can find more of her work right here.
Aren't her textures the BEST? Wow.
I'm digging these die cut gift tags by Cape Town, South Africa-based artist Jordan Metcalf this morning. Aren't they great? I would definitely use these to dress up my gifts.
i reaaaaaally like this image by candice leick. a lot.
she has a lot of cool packaging design on her website, too, that's worth an oogle. so pretty.
Check out this amaaaaaaazing work by Kime Buzzelli. Holy cow, the color and looseness and feeling of spontaneity is killing me. KILLING me! I love it.
