If you like monochromatic interiors and furnishings as much as I do, I believe that you’ll appreciate this recommendation. Melanie Mikecz, otherwise known as Two Ems, creates prints which would add a colourful pop to any wall, any room. HER STORY: Melanie Mikecz likes to consider herself a designer slash starving artist. So that means she only starves half the time (Just . . .
This Is Not A Toy
Not too sure if it's my love for quirky toys or attraction to bright colours and patterns (like sparkles and magpies), but I've now got a slight obsession with this exhibition... THIS IS NOT A TOY: An exhibition at Design Exchange in Toronto, curated by John Wee Tom and DX Associate Curator Sara Nickleson with Guest Curator Pharrell Williams. It showcases comtemporary sculptures, figurines and . . .
Bright Colours & Baby Hedgehogs
The illustrations I just stumbled across are seriously adorable. And when I say adorable - I mean the type that makes you all warm & fuzzy, even when it's freezing outside and you're in desperate need of a hot chocolate. Probably the same reaction as when you first saw a baby hedgehog (just to refresh your memory, have another look at it). Okay back to the illustrations. via Laura George . . .
Sharing Bliss: Decorate
Next on the list are ceramics with a touch of whimsy. As I always say, we all need some whimsy in our lives - put some of these on your tables & walls and you'll be all set for the day. Introducing...VICKI HARTMAN. Her story: STATEMENT: Ordinary environments are my source of inspiration. Since I was a child, how people create homes has captured me - what we choose . . .
Toast Gradient
I'm not exactly sure of the meaning behind this, but I do like the idea of toast & gradients. via Present & Correct . . .
Whimsical Treats
Andy Warhol. We all know him for his Campbell soup cans & pop art but I'm discovering some of his other works little by little. Am particularly taken by my most recent discovery – these sweet illustrations of cakes: These drawings by Warhol and recipes by his friend Suzie Frankfurt were a whimsical take on the haute cuisine cookbooks of the 1950s. The book never quite took off in . . .
Dream a Little Dream
A different kind of underground art scene...This home near the Czech border in Poland features a drive-through an art gallery. The owner is able to drive up to the house, open the gates and cruise through the subterranean tunnel that runs under the garden directly into the property - admiring his collection of artwork as he goes. Created by Polish architectural firm, Robert Konieczny - KWK . . .
Love Letters
Apparently I've become quite the design-nerd since starting work at my agency. Perhaps that is true, as I found this proposal kinda cute. San Francisco-based designer Will Geddess recently proposed to his girlfriend through the use of typographic posters. Titled 'love letters', 19 posters were created by Geddess and his fellow graphic designer, illustrator and tattoo artist friends. Together, . . .
Balls of Colour
What are these curiously coloured circles - a newly discovered planet or perhaps some flavoured candy? You'll be surprised to find out that these are actually the insides of golf balls. This series of photos were taken by Ohio–based photographer James Friedman (who ironically does not play golf). However, curious to find out more about the unknown, he cut golf balls in half to see what the core . . .
Pencil Magic
Perhaps it is because I am quite the Daft Punk fan but I was rather blown away by the works of Ontario-based illustrator and tattoo artist, Andrew Wilson. He creates magic just using ordinary coloured pencils on paper, and his illustration actually managed to catch the attention of the French electronic music duo themselves. Impressive, I'd say. The man at work: Some of his other . . .
