{INSPIRATION: it’s the small things}
I was going to say that I love all things miniature but figured I would be setting myself up for one endless list of innuendos. So I will be specific and say how much I love miniature art. It’s not a new thing, even back in high school art class one of my favourite projects…

{GOOD EATS: eat your veggies}
There’s nothing like a fresh garden salad made with vegetables that are in season in the middle of summer. I recently came across this post on Oh Joy that not only aroused my taste buds for summer salads but also a feast for my eyes. With the popularity of Food TV and great magazines like…

{Inspiration: Louis C.K}

{INSPIRATION: pictures & paper}
I’ve always admired artists of all disciplines, particularly photographers and illustrators. As a designer I often keep them in mind when I’m thinking of ideas for a project…a great photo or illustration can give a piece a certain look or feel that isn’t possible with just graphics. And of course, they can work amazingly together…
