i’ve always loved the renegade craft fair posters, but for some reason never looked up the artist who designed them. thanks grace and mav for directed me to mat daly‘s website! i’m in love SO many of his prints and posters. i’m drawn to the shapes, colors, and imagery– i think they’re wonderful.

i received a really gorgeous book yesterday called crafting a modern world, the architecture and design of antonin and noemi raymond, edited by kurt g.f. helfrich and william whitaker. the book showcases the beautiful work of the raymonds, an architecture design duo, who were also prolific in furniture, textile, and graphic design. some of my favorite photos are of the mid-century modern log cabins– such a cool combination of styles. the raymonds designed homes, factories, office buildings, churches, and schools from 1917 to 1966, and collaborated with frank lloyd wright, isamu noguchi, and many others. more photos from the book here.
i love the bold graphics of traditional hawaiian quilts. these photos are from hawaiian quilts, tradition and translation.
a couple links:
abigail has the muji blocks that i love (and a lovely photo of them too!)
and the next go target collection looks promising!
WOW! this link to landscape products from mav is just too good, i’m overwhelmed. the most inspiring link of the week!
i don’t know how i missed this until now– maira kalman, one of my favorite artists, has been doing a monthly illustrated column for the new york times website. via apartment therapy chicago.
the deadly squire window display at rare device was so great. the (all fabric) gruesome thanksgiving feast included a duck with an axed off head (and yarn blood!), a gutted pig, hanging game and sausage links, and oysters with beaded algae and pearls. i bought a couple sets of screen printed cards, and a drumstick. my camera battery ran out last night, so these photos of the window are from laura su (thanks!). also, it was great to meet stella! (whose work i’ve admired for a long time!)
i’ve been so busy that i haven’t had a chance to see the deadly squire window display at rare device yet– but i will tonight! i’m stopping by the reception to see the window and buy some of the special deadly squire items. i love this wax stamp used to seal the hand silk screened cards, made exclusively for rare device.
