My “You’re My Blue Sky“ print was just featured on the cutest new blog! It’s called “Make Something Happy“ and it’s run by two Californian sisters who also have a cool colorful stationary company called Rock Scissor Paper.

I don’t know about you, but I would have given up my lunch money for a whole semester for this notebook paper when I was a kid (I’m still a kid, right?) They’ve got way more cool stuff than I could ever start to tell you about, so run over and see it for yourself!

I just received this beautiful photo from nepheliad in winnipeg and it’s really really lovely! The colors are perfect, very 70’s, and I love the almost dead center composition. Her shop is full of beautiful photos and even a couple of rad vintage cameras. Have a peek!

Well we’ve finally got new featured shops in the sidebar and a new Shop of the Week, yay! I was (cough cough) just a tad late getting things going this week, but I’ve been making lots of new work and sending out some cards and that’s always a good thing! This (and next) week’s Shop of the Week is Black Rose and her feature will be up on Monday, but until then enjoy the awesome artwork of 2ndcoming!

2ndcoming, who was my first “Shop of the Week,” is a talented illustrator based in NYC.

Her work combines clean lines with bright swatches of color for a bold graphic effect. Like her pop predecessor Andy Warhol, she often utilizes large blocks of unmodulated color which is reminiscent of his screen printed work.

In many instances she combines this effect with areas of painterly mark making. The two dissimilar techniques work together to enhance the succinct line work without distracting from it.

She has a beautiful shop full of really interesting work so check it out and be sure to check out her equally stimulating (read that as for mature audiences only) blog!
