Like pages from a sketchbook much more elegant than mine, there’s something that feels personal and inviting about the work of Cassandre Montoriol. I have a thing for drawings that look loose and unfinished.

Tim Walker is one of my favorite fashion photographers. Here are some nice wintery images.

This year, he released a book of his work, which would make an amazing gift: Tim Walker Pictures

I love these posters from Nikki McClure, available at Buy Olympia.

I have been waiting patiently for Fifi Lapin to start selling prints of her fabulous bunnyness again, and finally they returned to her etsy store.

Today, I received this print of Fifi wearing Luella’s spring/summer 08 collection, inspired by Enid in Ghostworld.

I love Enid, I love Luella, I love catwoman, and I love bunnies.

Hi all. Sorry I’ve been MIA lately. I have been busy busy, sewing up a storm, working on business plans, and playing with my new serger.

In the meantime, I wanted to share the work of this Australian artist/illustrator, Caitlin marie Shearer, aka pepperminte. I just bought a handful of her incredibly inexpensive prints. I really like the Jugendstil-esque style of them, like Egon Schiele paper dolls.

Last night, we checked out Oakland Art Murmur, a regular art event on the first Friday of every month. We saw some wonderful work, including photography, paintings, video, and large installations.

There were several paintings I was really drawn to, but not having that sort of money to spend, I was happy to come away with a patch for my hoodie, a sticker for my bike (both from the Rock Paper Scissors collective), and best of all, several posters from The Small Stakes!

I especially love the Noise Pop poster.

I’ve long loved the work of The Small Stakes, so it was really a dream to find a large selection of slightly imperfect silkscreened posters for $5 each! Pretty incredible. I don’t mind the little imperfections at all, it only emphasized their hand-pulled beauty.

Every day, I grow more and more happy with the decision to move back to the East Bay from SF.

I am loving these images Julia Rothman posted over at Book By Its Cover, which is an amazing blog, if you haven’t read it.

I love illustration, but I’m particularly into fashion illustration right now. There’s something about the way it melds the ideas of creating identity, and telling a story visually that really sparks my interest.

It’s times like this that I wish I still lived in NYC. I missed the Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting exhibit at The Museum of Art and Design, and now there’s Pricked: Extreme Embroidery. This show looks amazing.

This last piece reminds me of The Two Fridas.

Check out many more of the pieces at we make money not art.

It may be chilly and grey, but these images from illustrator Lucy Vigrass perk me right up. I wish I had some of these as prints for my new sewing studio.

Lucy Vigrass’s portfolio site appears to be under construction, but check back.

Aren’t these images from the photographers at IJM beautiful?
