I had the pleasure of meeting Dan Padavic of Vahalla Studios at the Renegade Craft Show in Chicago last year and insistly fell in love with their work. I snagged my own copy of the Knight Print which is happily displayed in perfect eye candy view in my living room. (We love all things cats, so I couldn't resist this one). Vahalla doesn't just do kick-ass band posters and art prints, they also have a full-forced print studio. (1. Knight Print, 2. Flight of the Conchords by Vahalla Studios)
Philadelphia-based designer Mikey Burton has got some mad illustration skills. We especially love the undergraduate viewbook designed for Loyola University. Wanna see more? I thought so. Check out his portfolio or snag some cool prints in his shop. (Loyola University viewbook by Mikey Burton)
With our favorite holiday just around the corner, we thought we'd share our favorite Valentine's gift of all, the Fortune Tellers! (Love / Sex Fold-Your-Own Fortune Teller Pack by Pop + Shorty)
We love the branding for IdeaPaint, an awesome new paint that turns virtually any surface into a high-performance dry-erase board. Talk about saving paper - write on your walls instead!

We are a frequent visitor of the French Paper website. (We've gotta stock up on all the bright colored envelopes that accompany our greeting cards). Without fail, we always take a moment to drool over the Pop Ink line. (Pop Ink Gift Wrap in Wood Grain by French Paper)

I love fortunes. My friend once got a fortune that said "Keep your goals away from the trolls." He kept it, and ever since I've been trying to find a fortune like this! So, I have been collecting fortunes for over a year now. I have been thinking for a very long time how I can display these, or showcase them somehow. I haven't counted them all, but I'd say I've got around 250 fortunes.
