adorableoverload.com

that's what this etsy shop should be called. i can't even think straight when i look at the plethora of ADORABLE that is girlsavage. AND she's a fellow blogger! why should i not love her?
and yes, i will at some point definitely be treating myself to a chocolate bunny. yes i will.

HOLY CRAP.

Natsko Seki. Wow. Definitely check out her animation and book work.


Guess who's my new desktop background at Quirk?

blueflip art

WOW! Blueflipart.com is pretty much the same thing as Tiny Showcase (in terms of cheap prints with charitable contributions), but they have a wider variety of prints (as far as sizes, prices, and availability go).
Either site, it's a win-win. Before the day is done I MUST make this print by Victoria Maderna MINE!

fingerstaches

So I had no idea that apparently "fingerstaches" are a huge deal. there is a fingerstache.com, and also...
HISTORY OF THE FINGERSTACHE.
Prepare to be schooled.

new blog

Little Paper Planes is a new find off of D*S (duh). It's amazing and has a surprising amount of work for sale, all at very reasonable prices! Like I needed something else to occupy my time with!!!
They also have a blog that is worth a little look-see. Here is one of their artists Brendan Monroe, who has so much cool stuff I am just sickened. Really.

first friday at quirk

As some of you may know, I've been working on an illustration exhibition at Quirk for about a year and a half. Tables to Walls will feature 9 of the best illustrators from around the world. Go to Quirk on Friday, Sept. 7 from 6-10 pm for the First Friday opening! Seriously though, if you're my friend you'll go.
And if you're worried you might forget, don't you fret. I'll be updating this again and again so you'll have no excuses!

new stuff!

just purchased this skirt from etsy seller lazerbeanz! i can't wait til it comes in. the diamond skirt is too cute for words!

bunny madness

This is a weird painting I did last year. My professor told me it was ridiculous and cliche. I'm probably going to title it that.

BFD6

Best Friends Day 6 starts in TWO DAYS! Get stoked!

design!

Generate has an amazing selection of well-designed goods for the household and people of all ages. I saw the tooth light on D*S (a.k.a. the Design Bible) and it inspired me to check out more. It's well worth checking out! See this clock here.

this is what i did in maine.

back to the grind

first day back at work after vacation! a tough time for anyone, to be sure. to cope with my thrust back into productive society, i've taken the time to introduce you all to my workspace here at quirk.
so this is the back office:

this is the desk that at any point in time you can find either maggie or i tirelessly working for the greater good of the artistic community:

this is the board that we put important, and sometimes silly, things on over our desk. also a clock:

this is diana's desk. she faces us:

this is what kathy sees when she peeks at us from behind her wall:

this is the cacophony known as katie's desk. i know it's pretty much the same picture:

these are kathy's dogs. one is shaped like a potato:

this is my terrarium. it's pretty much terrarium madness here at quirk.

he is just too cute for words:

that's pretty much it. we like a lot of stuff here.
