Live Now.

Loving these Live Now posters by Eric Smith. They become even more wonderful when you know the full story…

I was recently diagnosed with cancer and have begun down the treatment road. I have learned to saturate each moment in front of me with all of my energy, as well as many other tremendous lessons. I decided to create a poster series with some quotes that have driven close to my spirit throughout this whole ordeal. Proceeds from the sale of these posters will be donated towards the Live Strong Foundation. Please purchase one, or three, and spread words of hope and inspiration.

Erin Smith.

I can’t stand rude people, but those who are clever and say what they believe? Them I love. Erin Smith and her mixed media art I love. Erin’s work is the result of a mixed media process that includes original painting, digital imaging, vintage family photographs,
and the her own meandering prose. The finished product is a giclee print reproduced on water resistant canvas, handstretched on sturdy fir stretcher bars.

38 Pages.

38 Pages is a sub-sect of Core77 where can you can post scanned pages of your sketchbook. It’s amazing to see what some artists are capable of while sitting bored in a meeting!

Wood Veneer Napkin Rings.

Designer Sarah Finn takes the thinnest of veneers, and laser cuts them into two distinctive patterns for these incredible napkin rings – one with stars and the other with small “s” incisions. Each pattern is available in two different woods – a reddish mahogany and a white maple. They come in sets of six, flat-packed because you bend them into shape yourself. (If you look close enough you can see the little tabs…)

Happy Weekend.

This week has been crazy, but I think I’m beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel – both with work and the mono. I wish my weekend were filled with a backyard soiree like this one, but it isn’t. My plans do include shopping with a friend tomorrow afternoon, house hunting and enjoying the beautiful weather. Not bad by any standards!

Happy Weekend!
