What I’m Crushing on

Food and Art…what could be better than that?
May 23, 2012Two things I equally love in this world are illustration and cooking. They Draw & Cook combines both of those loves by sharing illustrated recipes from artists from around the world. Sounds awesome, right?
Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell are the brother and sister design and illustration team who created this concept. The pair came up with the idea on a family vacation. While Nate was busy making dinner—fettuccine with figs in a balsamic butter sauce—Salli was playing around with her watercolors and painting the crate of figs. They toyed around with some other ideas, but finally hit upon the idea to start a blog and invite artists to submit their illustrated recipes. Visitors can browse the recipes and now can even buy some of the recipe illustrations….plus, there’s a book!
Here’s some of my favorite recipes….and illustrations as well.
The Sketchbook Project 2013
May 16, 2012The Sketchbook Project 2013 is gearing up and there is a call out to creative folks to sign up to participate. In case you aren’t aware, The Sketchbook Project is a traveling library of artists’ books. When you sign up a blank sketchbook is sent to you and it’s your job to fill its pages. Once you do that, you mail it back and then it goes out on tour across the country with everyone else’s sketchbooks and ends up back at the Brooklyn Art Library for archiving.
I’ve been meaning to do this every since its inception…maybe this will be the year that I finally stop putting it off.

More dreaminess…
May 02, 2012Today, I am highlighting some more dreamy photography. This latest photographer is KristyBee and you can see her work on her blog, in her Etsy Shop and on flickr. She also sells some lovely Photoshop actions for all you Photoshop tweakers out there.
Dreamaliscious Photography
April 30, 2012This week, I’m gong to be sharing some dreamy photographers with you. I am a fan of those dreamaliscious, soft-light, pastel, romantical photographs and I really can’t get anough!
Today’s photography is by Yvette Inufio, a librarian by day and a self-taught photog in her spare time. You can find her expressions on her blog, in her Etsy Shop and on Flickr.
I’m sharing 2 coloring books that I created with you today. I did briefly sell them in my Etsy shop for a limited time a few years ago, but honestly not that many people bought them. So, I’m not sure if you all will be interested in them or not, but I did a lot of work creating them and I’d like folks to enjoy them…whether I make any money from them or not. Sigh. Just one of the dilemmas one runs into when making and selling goods creative goods.
Anyway, the first coloring book is called Petal Art and it’s full of abstract flower drawings of mine. Doodles really, but I like them. There are 8 pages to print out, color in & decorate your walls with. Use markers, crayons, colored pencils, oil pastels or whatever you have on hand.

I’m sharing another printable coloring book…this one is called Truck Art and features 9 coloring pages made from photographs of a 1967 Chevy Truck.
