Droolworthy Prints + Orange: Vahalla Studios

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)

Keep Your Goals Away From The Trolls



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.

Do you have any ideas for displaying fortunes?
