Under the Weather

I am feeling extremely under the weather this week. One thing that makes me feel better... pictures of cute animals. Cheesy? Maybe.... but I would be willing to bet you all agree with me. 

Video Tuesday

Yes, I know... more Adele. I can't help it! I could listen to this girl all day. What I love about this video [aside from her doing a great cover of Cheryl Cole's Promise This] is that you get a glimpse into her great personality. If you'd like an even bigger Adele fix click here to listen to her covering Brandi Carlile's Hiding my Heart.

Emma Lee

I hope you all had a great weekend! To start this week off I wanted to share with you the work of photographer Emma Lee. Enjoy!

Design Crush

Recently, I came across the work of designer Alvin Diec and a major design crush quickly developed. Wow.

Jon Klassen

How amazing is this illustration style? It is the work of Canadian born John Klassen.

Layer Mayor

This is a fantastic website for any designer out there in need of a little reference when designing web sites. Humorous but so true [and helpful!]

Packaged

Very pretty packaging for a line of fragrances at Anthropologie. The inspiration came from vintage science books.

Rik's Bikes

These wonderful illustrations of famous cyclist's are by the illustrator, cartoonist and painter, Guasco Riccardo aka "Rik".

Spring

Spring is here! Well sort of... we just need to get rid of the snow that is still on the ground.

I came across this beautiful image on this fantastic blog.

Help Japan

It's pretty incredible to see designers and crafters using their talent to raise funds to help Japan in the wake of the disastrous earthquake that occurred one week ago. Designer James White of Signalnoise designed the poster below and all profits will go to Japanese Disaster Relief. To donate directly to the Canadian Red Cross click here.

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

If drinking green beer doesn't really interest you today but you still want to jazz up your drink for the festivities, head on over to Benign Objects for free printable Lucky Brew beer labels.

Dear Sapling Press

Maybe it's just my sense of humour but I think these cards are so funny! For even more entertainment head over to Dear blank, please blank where you can find even more hilarious Dear ___. I must warn you to not look at this is you have a lot of work to do!

Marina's photos

Love the work of Marina Aurora. Especially these food story shots.

I am Right Brain

There are so many left brain vs right brain campaigns out there but these may be my favourite to date. Executed beautifully, they are print ads for Mercedes Benz.

Lonny Love

Happy Friday Everyone! Try to find some time this weekend to enjoy the new issue of Lonny!

A Cup of Tea

I couldn't agree more! 

New from Rifle Paper Co.

I am currently drooling over Rifle Paper Co.'s new spring pieces.

Up!

National Geographic has a new series in the works called How Hard Can It Be? One of their projects was to re-create Mr. Frederickson's house from the movie Up! More than 300 helium-filled balloons were able to raise the house to about 10,000 feet for an hour!

Print and Pattern

Since I recently started doing linocuts [a post on that later] I have been really drawn to graphic prints and patterns. Skinny Laminx creates some of my favourites!

Anthro's New Surroundings

Happy Friday! I hope everyone has a great weekend! These are just a few of my favourite spreads from this month's Anthropologie Catalogue. See you Monday.
