Thursday, June 11th, 2009
It’s been a while since I’ve designed clothes, and lately I’ve been missing the sketching process. In my textile designs I’ve grown so accustomed to working on the computer that I no longer sketch out my designs first. I’ve been craving piles of papers and markers strewn about. I love the illustrations of Garance Dore, so inspiring.

I am obsessed with Diane von Furstenberg’s latest ad campaign, shot by French artist François-Marie Banier. My favorite aspect of the campaign is the hand written script collaged onto the shot below.

Guerilla Art Kit…
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007
I recently bought illustrator Keri Smith’s new DIY book, The Guerilla Art Kit. The book hones in on the concept that art is for everyone, and shares tons of fun guerilla art installation ideas. My favorite project was the “You Are Here” map, which can be created by simply mounting a map of your town and then pointing out your location with markers or stickers. Your can check out Keri’s blog here.
Hand Drawn Typography

I just bought this amazing typography book called Hand Job. The book features tons of hand drawn lettering by a number of well known artists. It’s an endless source of inspiration and I’m totally obsessed.
