n is for ...

Love the daily typography put out by illustrator Jessica Hische. I'd love to purchase this as a print from her shop. And what does N stand for? Neat, Nice, New. Maybe you'll see more of this N later!

sweet drawn style

I love these terribly chic fashion illustrations by Miss Capricho. The simple drawings paired with the gorgeous watercolor patterns are inspiring and beautiful. Watercolor is one of my favorite mediums and these sketches make it so modern. Love!

If you subscribe to DailyCandy, you've probably seen Miss Capricho's work before.

a little artist: amy ng

These flora studies are done by Amy Ng, an artist from Malaysia who runs a blog called Pikaland. They are lovely both separate or together, I think it's so wonderful that she really got the flow and curve of the flowers. Click the image to see them larger, the small version doesn't do them any justice.

It makes me want to get out my watercolors again and paint something that was inspired by this trio. I just went through some of my old watercolor paintings the other day, and I think my painting aesthetic has changed a lot since then. Maybe I'll dabble in some soon!

naturally occurring awesomeness

Sometimes it just astounds me when I see patterns and intricacies in nature that seem absolutely impossible to dream up. It makes me very certain that there is a God out there, and he's crafted us so carefully and wonderfully ... with finely drawn lines and beautifully chosen colors. I came across these shells that are sold at this online shop (it has an ironic name, however), and they were just so indicative of the creativity of our Creator! Brilliant!

And wouldn't these photos make great prints? I'd love to hang them in our bathroom.

bring may flowers

This sweet calendar caught my eye while I was browsing one of my favorite sites, Madewell Clothing. It has hand drawn details and quirky little comments for each day of the month. Click to see it larger.

Isn't this one for May 28th great?

Every night this week in our calendar is filled, I wonder what it would look like if I drew it all out.
