i've been saying i'm going to post a 'i want' blog for a long time. so here it is. all the ways straight into my heart!
Art books, prints, doodles, handmade, journals, mixed media, vintage items, wood, felt, fabric, brown paper, quirky, romantic, sentimental, independent, crafty, diy, indie, cute, raw, matte, film photographs, mistakes, messy, sketches, magical, adventure, retro.
more specifically i swoon over...
Handmade Nation-
i love this. for my final project in graphics, i looked at this a lot. it just encompasses everything i love about the handmade world. i want the
book!
there are a ton of etsy things which i'm so in love with;
dreams of covering walls with art prints. mmm.
by
michelemaule (oh my goodness. these speak straight to my heart.)
by
linotte (a favourite of mine for a while. and Camberwell alumni!)
obviously
ashleyg. (how much is that last one, exactly me? haha.)
more prints from other places;
marc johns. loveeee. (i want his
book!!!! it's a super reasonable price too. might just have to get this.. hmmm)
i love DIALOGUE. artists, have you listened to these? they are real and great and actually quite amusing.
some artists i've found from there are;
Will Bryant;
totally diggin' Craig Atkinson as well. such a sucker for sketchbooks;
these books, just because they make me smile. too bad they only ship to US ]:
gutted they've stopped making
this.
(their really old
2222 prints are my favourite. mmm.)
recent purchases include this
zine from Rhi, and this
print from Abbytryagain;
anndddd some
goodies from RVA and Rachel's
new class!
okay. i swear there are about a million MORE things that i want right now, and even more that i just love, but this should keep you busy for a little bit, anyway. [:
