old macdonald had a press

you can't help but love these graphics coming out of eiei-o's litho press these days. lots and lots of groovy designs for all your gift wrapping paper needs.

eiei-o is comprised of two friends who became frustrated by never being able to find well designed gift wrap. immersed in the graphic design world, they put their heads together and came up with a line that would appeal to people like themselves.

available online at luxe paperie.

more luren

last november i posted about luren jenison, a recent rhode island school of design graduate from the department of textiles and her beautiful wall hangings. it's so interesting to watch artists emerge and develop.

her bio reads, "she has been working within the scale of environment creation through interior design and textile design, as well as installation. her interests in the decorative arts lie mainly in the intersection of the surreal and the conventional. she collects images and examples of the bizzare, the grotesque, and the unexpected in designs for the home, and filters them through her personal style and color taste to create new works."



i just found out she has a new print and t-shirt out at art in the age (love the reds) and also has some silkscreened pillows at the cabin comforts store at secret project robot, 210 kent avenue, in williamsburg, brooklyn, new york.

luren is currently living and working in philadelphia. her site.

shoes for your walls

it looks like a shoe weekend here without even planning (read previous post) with the works of shoe designer, mark schwartz and his shoes as idea.

original art, limited edition prints of none other than shoes. love the black and white ones and of course who can resist a red shoe?

very unique and whimsical!

elefant art

elefantart is a design partnership between graphic designers alexander turvey and paal ariel hofstadd. i just love their combinations of graphics and illustrations and all the layering that completes their works. they recently designed images which were printed directly onto a range of shoe soles for a uk based company, prior 2 lever.

big heart blogger

such an adorable gocco print by jessica of insurgent muse. love the message, "how does god fit such big hearts in such small bodies?" with a line drawing of her dog, fidel.

100% of the proceeds go to the humane society of the united states..

such a thoughtful idea.
