I was listening to The Postal Service song, 'We Will Become Silhouettes ' yesterday, and then I found this beautiful illustration I saved on my computer, I can't remember where it came from unfortunately. Enjoy.

Simply graphic...




I love these geometric graphic designs, they remind me of turn of the century, avant garde design from Russia. Beautiful, enjoy.

Not Pride and Prejudice...




Humorous slant on preconceptions of the Jane Austen era of the 18th century. And what a good use of those tacky postcards. Enjoy.

Good design...



I absolutely love design like this, it's definitely reminiscent of Bauhaus and Russian avant garde design from the 20's-30's. Beautiful, enjoy. If your in London try to check out the new exhibition at the Tate Modern on Constructivism

Beautifully drawn illustrations that I find a little creepy, I don't know why. They also remind me of Paula Rego's work. Enjoy.

Dzama good drawings...



I first saw Marcel Dzama work in an art gallery in New York last year, and I immediately loved the delicate style of his drawings, and the quirky fantasy worlds he created. Take a look at the clothes the people are wearing. Enjoy

What is that?...

This unrecognizable illustrated form is quite beautiful I think. The curves and the delicacy of the lines fascinates me. Unfortunately I can't remember where I found it. Enjoy.

The beauy of book paper...



Gorgeous illustrations on old pieces of book paper. I love the look of old paper like this, it adds a delicate feel to what you put on it. I often use old book pages in my bookart work. See more work like this at sweet as a loon bird.

Journal love...




These are from a live-journal page, unfortunately I can't remember which, but they really inspire me to start a real visual journal. I wish I knew somewhere that did those amazing black and white photo-booth strips. Enjoy.
