I’ve never been one of those girls who’s afraid of bugs. I could just alway think of other more terrifying things (like snakes), or better yet make them up myself. Vladimir Stankovic’s Entomology illustrations aren’t your typical scientific drawings, but that’s exactly what’s so perfect about them. A little bit of reality mixed with a dose of imagination.

Talk about post titles I never saw coming! And also talk about how anything can be both informative and beautiful when given the right treatment. The Reproductive Cycle of the Chicken OR Why You Don’t Need a Rooster to Make An Egg is the first in a series of science posters from Switcheroo. (Are you confused? Cause I am.)

I’ve been chugging along with my iPhone 3 for a few years now, and to say it was dragging would be a bit of an understatement. Half of my apps wouldn’t even work on it any longer because the phone couldn’t handle the updates. So last weekend I pulled the trigger and upgraded to the white 4S. And it’s amazing, but you probably already know that. Uncommon was kind enough to send me this case by artist Marco Cibola a few months ago, and I may have been more excited to finally have a phone to put the case on than to actually have the phone! It’s beautiful.

You just can’t go wrong with Lizzy Stewart’s brand of illustration in my book. Nothing overly precious and the perfect amount of color. Her giclees are my favorite.

I love the muted color palette and whimsical feel of Quill and Fox’s stationery. Big time. I can’t keep a plant alive, but I bet I could keep those terrarium postcards going strong!
