Kerismith

I am in LOVE with not only the work by illustrator Keri Smith, but her visionary as an artist as well.  You must check out her blog, her book that I have just added to my wishlist and this link which seeks to change the way we all see art.  Discovered here.

Newshops

I was so excited to hear that some of my favorite bloggers have launched new retail sites this month.  Jessica of Shiny Squirrel, whose art/fashion blog is beyond inspiring, has opened a shop under the same name.  She has an incredible eye for art and fashion and has stocked her shop with some of the most moving artists of our generation - the selection of clothing - the dresses are particularly lust-worthy.  {art above by Olivia Jefferies and Nicole Poko available at Shiny Squirrel}

On the other side of the world, Louise and Gracia of Elsewhere and Hammer & Daisy have opened a new shop stocked full of their own delightful creations.  I can not get enough of their art books and pencil cases myself.  Equally exciting is new collaborative Zine called Have Wheels, Will Go - I LOVE this idea and have already submitted my photo - be sure to get yours in as all participants receive a free copy of the Zine!  Congrats Ladies - everything looks so beautiful!

I am so in love with Abigail Percy's work - she is by no means new news to most of you - but I just needed to spread the love...

Amyhaney

For sometime, I have been wanting to blog about my Anam Cara {my Soul Friend} Amy Haney.  Her work is not only inspiring, it is incredibly complex and full of emotion.  What I love about her work is the diversity of media - she works in watercolors, oils, she sews, she prints and creates shelters... she is amazing {did I mention she is a marathon runner}.  Click here for her portfolio and here for her wonderful blog in which she updates regularly with new work.

Gorgeous illustrations by artists Kate Wilson - I love everything from the delicacy of the line and color to the paper she works on - beautiful.

Kimbuzz

I fell head-over-heels for this artist when I came across her while browsing - I love the edgy meets almost sweet feeling of her girls...

Obsessed

Since buying my Nikon D40, I have really become immersed in the world of photography again.  I have been updating my Flickr page almost daily, relaunched my photoblog and discovered some wonderful new contacts though Flickr - some of my new favs are:  Nylons and Cake, Three Layer Cake and Silverlily.
