Some nice screen printed designs from maryink today.  Have a happy weekend!

Daily Drop Cap

I don’t think I originally posted about this project when it first started since it was on every single blog it seemed – but I was reminded about Jessica Hische’s Daily Drop Cap project and spent some of last night browsing through the beautiful drop caps she’s designed – she tries to design one per work day.  What’s a drop cap you ask?

t’s a fancy letter that is placed at the beginning of a paragraph, usually seen at the beginning of chapters in novels.  The capital letter ‘drops’ down 2 or 3 lines below the initial sentence of the paragraph.  And now the rest is just filler text to make a ‘full paragraph’ so you can see the drop cap cutting into the text. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper.

Chad Hagen

Enjoying these ‘Nonsensical Infographic’ prints from Chad Hagen.

Nat Youngblood

I spent the weekend in Pittsburgh with my family {granparents included} and we found some interesting places and museums to check out during the day Saturday.  At the Fort Pitt Museum they had a gallery of work from the artist Nat Youngblood.  Ignoring the fact that most of the paintings were about the French & Indian war {history is not my MOST favorite subject…} I really liked his style.  Enjoy!

Eight Hour Day

This morning I am loving the illustrations from Eight Hour Day.  Such a clean and fun illustration style.  The husband and wife duo recently embarked on an inspiration journey across America – living in 10 different cities over the next year.  What an amazing adventure!  Follow their journey here, they’re definitely getting added to my blog roll.

Today I was inspired to put together a little fall ensemble.  I browsed around for an outfit and a few accessories - I would say I dress in mostly neutrals with my fun pops of color added in scarves, bags, or jewelry.  Enjoy!
