the paper lunch bags you wish you'd had in elementary school

Loving these illustrations on paper bags of famous people (and cats) by Californian Chris Crites. I wish my paper sack lunches from elementary school had been this cool.

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.

burned

I first saw Japanese artist Etsuko Ichikawa's work on AllSaints' website several years ago, and was instantly enamored. Using molten glass, she creates abstract images by touching the tip of the melted glass to the surface of the paper and allowing it to catch fire and burn. Extraordinary.

so lovely

These drawings/water colors by Melbourne artist Emma Leonard are so lovely. I'd like to own them all.
