A few of my faves:

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

Press and Photo

Some lovely work from port2port press, including both photography and letterpress.

Marimekko Happy

Always love just about anything Marimekko...but these make me especially happy.

JennSki

Came upon the delicate retro work of illustrator/graphic designer Jenn Ski. Her work includes original art panels, prints and stationery.

atmostheory

Came upon the work of graphic designer/artist Christopher Ryan at atmostheory.

"ATMOSTHEORY is the one-man design studio of Christopher David Ryan... a Brooklyn-based graphic artist, daydreamer, pseudo-scientist, wanna-be astronaut and untrained intellectual who tends to find inspiration in pretty much anything... especially music, the universe, the human condition and natural phenomena."

And somehow, I really, really relate to that description.

He also has a brilliant daily visual blog here.

Fornasetti Covers

Cool vintage Domus magazine covers from Italian designer Piero Fornasetti.



And a Fornasetti showroom interior shot...surreal.
