The newest addition to my fancy seeing you here line is the Gee Whiskers series. It’s the puurrrrfect way to say hello. These cards are A6 folded screenprinted with two colors on Paper Source Eco White. (Includes a French Paper kraft envelope.) Available for purchase in my shop. Prints and more from this line to come soon!
The cards feature a halftone image of my kitty Jesse James along with a colorful and chic accessory. Be sure to check out the last picture on this post where you’ll see Jesse checking himself out on the card—it’s too cute!

There are a lot of designers out there doing the ‘make something everyday’ thing. Unlike most however, Aled appears to be doing it well. These definitely got a chuckle out of me.

Carolyn Sewell is a fabulous DC designer and illustrator. She has a two great series of postcards with hand drawn type; one set for her parents and one for her peeps. I’d feel so honored to receive one of her cards in the mail…hint hint. Here are some of my favorites:

Gorgeous design work for Pino. I especially love the logo wall in the store. “Pino is a market place for unique, functional and innovative design objects. The idea for the concept camefrom the name of the shop, Pino, which means a ‘pile’ or ‘stack’ in Finnish. That is taken visually into the new logo and the design of the shop fixtures. The interior concept with a subtle colour palette works as a background for the fresh, colourful identity and products.”

Tomorrow, March 18th I’ll be taking a moment of silence, this means no posting on my blog, in memory of the victims of Japan. This great initiative, For Japan With Love, was started by the lovely ladies of Utterly Engaged and Ever Ours. If you are a blogger please consider joining the cause and spreading the word.
Please join me in contributing by donating here—every little bit helps!

What an impressive rebrand! The original logo is very outdated and the rebrand, designed by the Buenos Aires office of Futurebrand, has transformed Peru’s logo into a modern and unique icon—full of character. I love the application of the new identity on these postcards along with the use of the Bree font family which was specially created for Peru by TypeTogether. This new look is sure to make Peru even more appealing!
