Album Cover via The Ghostly Store

ART & DESIGN

I’ve really been enjoying what The Ghostly Store has to offer. This place has so many unique items it’s hard to choose which ones to add to your cart. Not only are they great items, the attention to design detail is spot on. The album covers in particular are some of my favorite things to look at.

Stop by and peruse the music section–>

* Thanks to all of you who responded to my twitter poll about incorporating my own photography into this blog. I got an overwhelming response suggesting that I start sharing some more of my own snapshots. Stay tuned for a new feature…!

Simple Sweet Paul

ART & DESIGN

Have you guys had a chance to look through the spring issue of Sweet Paul Online Magazine? It’s really great and if you are a foodie, you’ll be completely inspired.

I was drawn to this particular story (out of the 140 page magazine) that showcases recipes using the most iconic spring food items. The spreads were artfully crafted with simple design elements.

INSPIRED BY JESSICA BELL / CURATED BY AMY MOORE

ART & DESIGN

I’m a self-admitted paper hoarder, so it’s probably only natural that I find paper collages to be the holy grail of all pulp and fiber-based delights. Artist Jessica Bell created these patchwork-like beauties; I chose these particular two works to share here because I love the neat, meticulous folds in the first, and the more haphazard, free approach in the second. Both pieces have stellar compositions and color palettes that I find very appealing. It’s always commendable when an artist can make his or her work seem effortless – which is how these read to me – although careful thought and multiple attempts at reworking probably went into the end result. I hope you enjoy this week’s post!

Tim Robison's Film Set

PHOTOGRAPHY

Tim Robison Jr, a painter, photographer and cooking enthusiast has a really great eye for capturing the perfect snapshot. Tim also has a really great collection of photos in his Flickr account, with his Film Set stealing my heart. All the shots are of everyday vignettes around the home, and the film grain just makes everything seem so dreamy. Stop by his flickr and take a look yourself.

COLLABORATIONS

Today’s RECREATE IT comes from one of my favorite + new magazines out there, Wayfare. They’re a travel magazine, which obviously helps satisfy the little travel bug in me … for now. Here’s the thing about their spreads : alignment is spot on.

Often times, you’ll find that they use their strong imagery to help guide where type sits on the page. In this case, they fit their spread’s paragraph in the crook of the centered chair, which makes everything a little off kilter and perfect. In my example, you can see that I used the pole to left align my text, and then vertically centered the two lines between what was above and below them. There’s always little hints here and there to help you decide where to place text, you just have to look!

Slanted Mansion : On The Shelf

ROOMS

I was recently looking through the studio archives on Slanted Mansion , a blog that showcases the organized chaos of home studio spaces and the artist that work in them. Each weekly post shows snapshots of the interior space as well as an interview with the artist. I’ve found the site to be quite interesting, especially seeing what all different kind of artists keep on their shelves.

Berg Bild Series by Sonnenzimmer

ART & DESIGN

I’ve been eyeing the Berg Bild series by Sonnenzimmer as possible additions to my art collection. This series was commissioned by Ghostly International and created as a limited edition of 50.

“Shortly after a summer trip to Switzerland to visit Nakanishi’s mother, Sonnenzimmer set about creating the series. The trip would prove to be a wellspring of inspiration—from a stumbled-upon book on Swiss poster artist Niklaus Troxler to the mountainous countryside itself. Closer to home, a recent collaboration with Chicago printmaker Alex Valentine would also provide influence, with hints of Valentine’s color palette finding their way into the series.”
