across the universe

When these constellation and nebula-inspired paintings by Elise Mahan appeared on my Etsy Activity Feed, I knew I needed to share them with everyone I knew. Here are but a few (and some of my favorites) of her paintings.

oh so lovely

I love Etsy. I'm constantly discovering new artists  that I might not have heard of otherwise. This week, I fell in love with Yellena James, an illustrator from Portland, Oregon. It's her use of color and the fluid rhythm within her work that, for me, make her illustrations so entrancing.
