Last year, I made a New Year’s resolution. To draw more and open an Etsy store. It’s taken a lot of work but I’m very proud to say I stuck to this goal and made it happen. As I start 2012, I’m proud to say I’ve made 63 sales in just over 3 months to countries all over the world. I just want to thank everyone who has supported me in this and to everyone purchased an OON print for an awesome kid in their life! THANK YOU.
To start the year off, here is the first in my new series of Alphabet prints! ENJOY!

Found this amazing website that I could waste hours perusing. Feels like you can tell a lot about someone based on their personal letterheads, like rummaging through their medicine cabinet.

Frank Llyod Wright – I can’t imagine how hard this would have been to read!
Andy Warhol – Could have been done yesterday. Amazing.
Paul Rand – of course.
Saul Bass – _______________
Robot Salesmen – I’ve seen this in research before and I always thought it was a current design. WishI knew what they sold.
Marilyn Monroe – Beautiful.
Marlene Dietrich – Love this so much. Especially in comparison to Monroe’s.
Star Wars 1976 – A year before the first movie premiered. Interesting logo.
Ray Charles – Hard to read…totally worth it.
Charles Manson – REALLY??

Teamed up with La Carnita last night for the latest Toronto Underground Market at the Brickworks. Such a great event. All my old crew from OneMethod was there making tacos, the boys from Westside were sporting some pretty awesome shirts and my husband was fryin’ up some amazing fish tacos below a giant hand painted version of his logo aka. Meatface. The line up held strong all night until the last 700th taco with a full line of people still waiting. The art prints were gone within an hour. If you weren’t able to make it to this one, get your tickets early next time!

After a week off at the cottage and the labour day weekend to finally get my life in order, test prints have been made, merchandise photographed and store policies written! The Shop is set to open at the end of the month and I couldn’t be more excited!
To start, I will be offering my Truck Series of 9×12 prints but HelloLucky! is also gearing up to launch their new site with 4 card designs I did for them so I’m hoping to make those available in the Fall for christmas orders as well. Not to mention my brain is full of ideas for new work I’d like to make like “prints for girls” (whatever that means), recipe cards, and maybe even bags!
It’s an exciting time and I can’t wait to go live. Email me if you’re interested in joining the newsletter! And don’t forget to like my page on Facebook (so many shamless self promos!)
Sorry for all the exclamation points…I’m just really that excited.

If you live in the Toronto area than you need to start following @la_carnita immediately. I’ll let them tell the story, but basically, you buy an awesome $10 mini poster and get 3 amazing gourmet tacos. Perfect. It happens once a week at my old stomping ground, OneMethod. Last week featured the amazing work of my super talented husband, Matt Webb. He calls him Meatface. ENJOY!

I can’t divulge many details at the moment but I’m currently working on an illustration project in partnership with a great online stationary boutique. You can see a few sneak peeks on my Dribbble page here. Needless, I’m very excited to share the final product but that won’t be for awhile. Keep you posted!

Hellenic, you’re so adorable. Never realized how synonymous it is with stereo sound….apparently.

Thanks for coming and checking out the new site and blog. There are new projects up and new content coming soon. Keep in touch…follow me on twitter!

We got Netflix for christmas and it’s the best thing to happen to TV since HBO. Watched Beer Wars last night which has inspired this post. Designed by Neatly Trimmed Beard (site coming soon). Awesome.

Whoa. Have you ever really looked at the typography of this ad? It’s amazingly terrible.

Here’s a quick little poster I did for my brothers sons first birthday. Apparently, his older sister got a little jealous when the postman delivered it…and ripped it all up. Oh well. Another one is on it’s way.

Chimera lights? Check. Horizontal tripod? Check. Supplies? Check…almost. I’ve been planning to reshoot my work for a long time and things are finally coming together. Unfortunately, between getting a toddler to bed on time and taking a moment for myself every night (very important), looks like I’ll be shooting about a project a night which means the new site should launch in about……a month. Hopefully I won’t want to redo it by the time I’m done.

It’s been a long day…and i can’t remember how the hell I came across this but it’s rad and deserves a little props. Michael Weinstein describes it as “a timeline of all the Wu-Tang Clan group and solo albums, as well as all their hilarious nicknames.” I love the whole bee/hive theme. Just wish it was a bit bigger to be able to read it all. Props none the less.

Every time I’ve caught the subway lately I’ve notice this ad for Showcase’s new series called “Haven”. Apparently it’s “the story of Audrey’s entry into this seemingly normal town..based on the Stephen King novella The Colorado Kid…” Sure, fine. I’m not a Stephen King fan but look at that typesetting!! I can’t stop looking at it.
It’s on 2 different axes, has completely conflicting character widths and works with sharp angles in 2 of the letters. Not only does it manage to pull this all off but the damn thing manages to look perfectly balanced (optically and physically on that weathervane), perfectly kerned (even though upon closer inspection the “N” is totally stretched…meh), and it even begins to tell a story about what the show is about. I can’t find any info as to who is responsible for this logo, but I’m a big fan. I wish I could say the same about the revamped Showcase logo….

Synopsis can be read here…if you’re into Stephen King.

This might not be the most convenient way to trudge your picnic over to Toronto Island but meeting someone for a lunch during the work week with this urban picnic basket would be pretty amazing. The only thing I love more are the awesome DIY gingham print backgrounds!!! How great are those? The office edition is made out of yellow post-its and lighter lined post-its, the boombox edition is stenciled, and the painting edition is coloured felt pen.
You can buy them at boxsal.com for 35$ which includes a completely compostable eatin’ tool set (extras for 10$).

How great are these lamps from Guillaume Devigne out of Paris? They come in 3 resolutions translated as 3 different textures; 72 Dpi, 150 Dpi, and 300 Dpi. His website is in French and there isn’t a lot of backstory but I love the sense of humour and intersection of graphic and industrial design.

Apologies for my sudden disappearance. We’ve been doing nothing but spackling and painting Chez Janky (aka. our new house) for the past month and as a result all my internet attention has been focused on interior decoration. Anyway, I thought why not share some of the awesome interiors I’ve found. I wittled these down from 78 to 28 and unfortunately, I’ve been hoarding these for months and do not have the credits for any of them anymore but they were collected mostly from Design*Sponge and ApartmentTherapy .
