eye candy for you

so, i've been pretty sick for a couple of weeks. very sick for a few days. it's messed with my make something every day goal, which is fine, because i do prioritize rest and self-care and don't want to pressure myself. i've done some doodles and some projects and it's been fun. but since i don't have a lot to show (you don't want to see my ugly doodles, promise!) i wanted to take the opportunity to share a couple of rad graphic treats i've been enjoying lately.

rodney and i were at the pub several weeks ago (which is connected to our favorite bookstore, Kalapuya Books) and i spotted this treasure in the window display. i had to have it! rodney scrawled a note on the back of a bar ticket for hal and betsey (they own the bookstore) imploring them to hold it for him, which, of course, they did. Three bucks and it was mine!

i love this style of kid-book illustration. i love that it is typeset in futura (my favorite typeface right now). and i love that it is pop-up (and that someone lovingly replaced the king's head by scrawling him a new face on the backside of a lunar calendar). the whole thing is awesome.

a while back i shared a link on facebook for this interesting hanging nest seat things. they're designed by DEDON, i believe they call them the restnest or something like that. i just thought they were so awesome. i signed up for their mailing list and promptly forgot all about them.

a couple days ago this amazing catalog arrived. over 300 pages, full color, beautiful heavy-weight matte paper. it's gorgeous. when i am wealthy enough to furnish my outdoor living spaces with their completely rad products, i will be a very happy girl.

i am grateful for:
