Skinny Ships

I really love this lettering by designer/illustrator Skinny Ships (aka. Richard Perez.) He illustrated his top 10 albums of 2010, you can see them all on his Flickr.

(Teen Dream was one of mine too... so good!)

February Six

Tomorrow is the Love & Rummage Trunk Show at the workroom. The vendor list is kind of nuts (in a good way!) including Deadweight, Coriander Girl, Bookhou, and Fieldguided. I'm sure there will be lots of cute valentinesy goodies.



^^ Over the Moon print (& photo) by Deadweight.

Tomorrow night Best Coast and Wavves are playing a show together in Toronto, so that will be fun too! I hope Best Coast has some kind of ridiculous cat t-shirt for sale.

Karen Barbé

Karen Barbé is a very talented textile designer from Santiago, Chile. She seems to work with a broad range of materials and techniques. i love her simple patterns and her colour combinations. And there is so much lovely texture in her work. (I guess that's what I love about textile design, in general.)

Here is Karen's shop & her blog. Click on any image to go to her Flickr account.
