My favorite page from "What Colour is Your World?", by Bob Gill (founded what would become Pentagram)...a lovingly restored 1960's classic children's book from Phaidon.

Sweet little poppy from Polanoid gallery.

Pretty Information

I love information design (via typography.com)

Little Paper Planes

Some nice artwork from Little Paper Planes shop...I'm thinking I like birds...
and chairs.

Minakani

Found on one of my favorite blogs, olivelse, the sweet prints of design studio Minakani.

Baby Girard Blocks

Our little angel boy just turned one and he received these Alexander Girard baby blocks (by House Industries) as a gift from his uncle, very cool...great colors, typefaces and pictures. I'll definately play with them!

Butler's Little Stitches

And when I get around to using my sewing machine, I'd like make my little guy a sweet kimono from Amy Butler's new book, Little Stitches. Signed copies available from her site.

Josef Frank

Vibrant textiles from Scandinavian designer Josef Frank.

P & C

Beautiful poster of Endangered Species in the British Isles by Present & Correct (via Design Museum Shop).

Lotta Sale

Nifty sale on Lotta Jansdotter's site...and how badly did I want to go to her print workshop in San Francisco? BAD

PrairieMod

Sweet desktop wallpapers from PrairieMod. Can't wait to see what they'll have in their store.

blissen

Some bits of pretty from Jill Bliss.

The Small Stakes

Great poster art from Jason Munn. Love the muted tones...coincidence, my husband just introduced me to the music of The National.

MOO MiniCards

Sweet little sets of mini-cards (calling cards, business, etc) from MOO ...choose from pre-designed or design your own.

A few of my faves:

Bruno Munari

Munari's books for children (and adults) are delightful. Such great graphic art.

M83

M83 can really do no wrong. The latest album gives a nod to the teen angst inspired by John Hughes movies...the 80's through a new lens. I was there...and I love this song.

May + Belle

Beautiful hand lettering from Maybelle...and her medium (gouache) isn't exactly cake to work with.

Posts...

will be back after next week

THUSSFARRELL

Photography is fun.
Design is fun.
Especially when you're husband and wife duo THUSSFARRELL.



Some of their work in Book 2 of Lines & Shapes : Blocks

Anton Corbijn

Have always liked Anton's photography and album cover work...have yet to see his directorial work for the Joy Division film Control.
Being a graphic designer, I guiltily admit to sometimes having "designer fatigue" from work produced by other educated designers...it's always refreshing to see great design and creative works from people that didn't receive formal training.



and a happy birthday to Mr. Gahan today.
