(Calling cards by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co.)

Love these custom calling cards by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co… Anna’s portraits are so adorable. Flat correspondence cards are also available in this style for ordering. This would make such a cute gift!

(A Cup of Jo also has a giveaway going on right now for a set of 50 of calling and correspondence cards.)

When I was little, I heard the story of Ramayana sooo many times. When I got an email from illustrator Sanjay Patel about his new book, Ramayana: Divine Loophole, I was floored with his new work. I love this modern retelling of the story. The book contains over 100 brilliant illustrations along with a detailed illustrated list of the cast of characters and sketches of his work in progress. Absolutely gorgeous.

And for you all on the left coast, Sanjay will also be at Super7 in San Francisco tomorrow, February 27 starting at 6pm signing copies of his book.

(Bella Moda tee and Blue Pearls tee at Pacific Sun, both $22.50.)

Love the new tees by Fifi Lapin. I happened to be at Queens Center last weekend, saw Fifi in the window at PacSun and picked up the Blue Pearls tee. (And, wow, did I feel ancient walking in there!) Super soft and super cute.

(From the portfolio of Michael Sanderson.)

Absolutely loved the work of Michael Sanderson. Tons more at his portfolio site. (Via design work life)

(Prints from Leanda's typewriter tin digital illustration collection.)

I have previously written about Janine Vangool‘s typewriter tin collection (here) and yesterday she posted to the Uppercase blog that Leanda of One Little Bird has been creating these wonderful digital illustrations based on her collection. You can buy the prints here.

Still obsessing over Janine’s collection…

(Top: Spread for the Brooklyn Circus Lookbook. Bottom: hand drawn lettering by Jon Contino as seen in the look book.)

Loving the new lookbook from Brooklyn Circus featuring a lot of hand lettering by the crazy talented Jon Contino. Gorgeous photos and illustration throughout. Typography is so beautiful… and that quote is one to live by as a designer. (via FWMJ)

(From the Look Book.)

I saw the lookbook from Doo.Ri’s Under.Ligne collection on Fashionista and loved the watercolor illustrations on top of dreamy photography. And the clothes are sweet too. (Love the white dress!)

(The work of Bil Donovan.)

Saw Bil Donovan‘s work as part of the fashion illustration exhibition at the Society of Illustrators. Just simply amazing.

(Cardon Copy)

Jordan posted today about her friend Cardon Webb whose exhibition, Cardon Copy, is at the Type Directors Club right now in NYC. I loved the typography so much… I also noticed that some of the posters seem to be from my neighborhood in Queens!

From his mission statement: “Cardon Copy, takes the vernacular of self-distributed fliers and tear-offs we have all seen in our neighborhoods. It involves hijacking these unconsidered fliers and redesigning them, over powering their message with a new visual language. I then replace the original with the redesign in its authentic environment.”

(Fifi is always impeccably dressed.)

Loved this rose dress on Fifi. Be sure to check out Fifi’s shop for prints of this and her other outfits.
