Thanks so much to Grace Bonney for including us in January’s Design*Sponge shop! It was truly an honor! This month sees new products from Amanda Kavanagh, Foxy and Winston, Laura Lienhard, Jon Setzen of Standard Motion and Geoff Wood. The lovely print above is from Foxy and Winston. As was the case last month, 100% of the proceeds from select items in the shop go towards the Design*Sponge scholarship.

Dan McCarthy is a great printmaker with amazing dinosaur prints. He just released a new poster called ‘Dino in the Woods’ for a show at The Middle East. I had to post about it because I love Dan’s work (we’re proud owners!), and I have fond memories of The Middle East. I worked in Boston over the summer of 2000 and lived down the street near Central Square, so I would see shows at the little downstairs every week.

I was introduced to Binth by Grace over at Design*Sponge. I love the prints they have up in their store, especially these Japanese-inspired silk-screens. Beautiful! Their valentine’s day cards are super nice, too. Love the stitched look. Binth is a collaboration between Linnea Gits, Suzanna Bierwirth, and Peter Dunham.

Check out these beautiful prints from Steven Harrington. I love the colors that he chooses…Thanks Nidhi, for bringing him to our attention!

We are very excited to announce our inclusion in the January Design*Sponge shop. The cards above are from the Sea Pattern series and are available in a pack of four (one of each design) for $16, with shipping included.

Grace Bonney also launched a really great new project – she is raising money for a scholarship fund for three design students, which will be awarded later in the year. 100% of the proceeds from the following the items in the shop will go towards this award (as well as a percentage of the ad revenue): the Tug Drawing and Chair Drawing by Alyson Fox, the A-LIGHT by RE-SURFACE (Donna Brady), and beautiful handprinted pillows by Lena Corwin. I hope you will check these out and support Grace in this new endeavor!

These are the native herb posters by Jill Bliss who draws inspiration from the world around her, her interests originating from her childhood on her family’s farm in northern California. Each poster is 16″ x 20″ and is printed on recycled matte card stock with soy-based inks.

Lovely limited-edition prints from Scottish artist Natalie Tweedie (aka Nebo Peklo), who silk-screened them by hand with a print-gocco. Yay gocco!

We wanted to announce updates to our online store. There are a bunch of new prints available, including prints from our visible:invisible panorama series (details of the prints above), and prints from the catalog specimen series, among others. We hope you’ll take a peek!

Joel Peck comes from a family of printmakers and is an amazing printmaker himself. His work’s focus is a combination of collections and personal narratives. If you can see any of his prints in-person, the depth of the insects defies traditional intaglio techniques.

I really like Dan McCarthy’s work. Besides his very graphic illustrative style, I like how he uses various skeletons (human, dinosaur, or otherwise) to convey the infinite cycle of death. This print is titled “shared memory: the moon”, which I find very romantic somehow. Thanks to NOTCOT for the introduction!
