Landscape

When I was about ten years old I became obsessed with drawing pool parties. And in them the girls diving into the water were always drawn with their hair hanging down, as if they were hanging upside down instead of throwing themselves into a body of water. It made sense at the time, I guess that’s how I viewed gravity. That’s what this landscape by Vikachu reminds me of, I love how the landscape builds vertically upon itself. And get this – ten dollars.

Wood Ikat Cards

I’m crazy about these wood ikat cards from INK + WIT! They’re flats that don’t fold and each one comes with a gold envelope for sending. I think a set would look lovely framed and put on display, too. Well done, Tara!
