Exploring the island on the very first day of the trip we came across the Key West Museum of Art & History. The museum features some portraits of Key West’s famous people as well as work by some of their most well-known artists—my favorite being folk artist Mario Sanchez. Most of his pieces are reliefs carved into wood panels and then brightly colored to accurately reflect street scenes, places and people from Key West during the early 20th century. Sanchez’ work has a certain charm and honesty about it; seeing the culture and beauty of Key West through his eyes. These pictures do not do his work justice. See more of his pieces here.

Last October I purchased one of Kerri Conrad’s pieces at DC’s Crafty Bastards. It was really hard to choose just one, but I ended up deciding on “Skeleton Girl,” (pictured above.) I adore Kerri’s quirky, dark and playful illustration style. Each piece is an original ink drawing that is attached to a wooden plaque, all coated with resin. It’s not obvious in these pictures but the ink drawing is mounted in a way that makes it float in front of the plaque.
See more of Kerri’s work here.

Since I recently did a small post on business card inspiration I thought I would share the fancy seeing you here business cards and tags. I letterpressed these cards and tags using a Vandercook press. And now for some shameless self-promotion: If you’re interested in having your own letterpress business cards I’m always looking for new projects.

I recently designed some baby shower invites for a friend. The sex of the baby was unknown so I tried to stick with a neutral color palette and design. The invites were printed on a laser printer then fabric scraps were attached and sewn on to form mini bunting. I was very happy with the results!

I currently designed some business cards for a friend of mine and wanted to share some of the beautiful cards that I have found during my research. I’ll be sure to show you my finished design once it gets back from the printer.
