Why we love kime…

 
One lonely day ago, one month ago, I checked the Moldy Doily, hoping to gain some sense of stability in this crazy world, only to find a fresh post that she was awarding Holiday card Paper dolls to the first 20 who reply.  I jumped to life and replied, and checking my email a short [...]

Lina Peterson’s jewelry.

                
 

Lina Peterson makes these amazing brooches and rings.  I love her organic shapes, varied textures, & drippy skeletons,– which she makes by dipping the wire forms in some type of bright-colored liquid rubber.  Many of her designs include crocheted pieces and other metal materials.  She’s been award with [...]

Your demise is inevitable… their condolences.

 
I first heard of Eve & Josh’s Icecreamlandia project on Book by its Cover, which featured their gothic-comic-conceptual art illustrations Your Demise is Inevitable– a handmade, sealed envelope containing prints of comic and graphic death scenes. 
 

 
This week Book by its Cover featured pages from their new book, Their Condolences.   According to the synopsis, the book [...]

Sneak peek…

 
If you haven’t heard, Kime Buzzelli has been working on a new graphic novel project, which I’m super excited about, as I love visions of the future as seen from the 60s,70s, & 80s.  She calls it an “intergalatic space drama”.
Shhh… she’s given us strict instructions on her blog not to tell anyone else about [...]

Mel Kadel’s zine: Honey Pool

 
The first time I saw Mel Kadel’s work, it illustrated an ad in Nylon Magazine (maybe you’ve seen it too). I had no idea who she was, or that the little drawing of the girl with butterflies escaping from her belly was an artist’s signature style. I only knew that the drawing caught my [...]

Julia Rothman milk jugs

I love Julia Rothman’s designs and her Book by Its Cover art book blog. She’s student of the month at Reform School and featuring two super cute milk jug designs ($65 USD). The images on the jugs are very similar to drawings from her sketchbook pages, which she shared on the Book site. [...]
