As a life-long Beastie Boys fan I was (and still am) devastated by Adam Yauch’s death, like I know so many music lovers are. I guess I feel lucky knowing that his music, and Beastie fan art, lives on.

Rest peacefully MCA.

Fancy some more art? Of course you do.
Today I’d like to introduce you to the loveliness that is Penelope and Pip. Illustrator Rachael Smith creates whimsical peeks into a world of cloud keepers and magical bears where love conquers all. I think her description sums up her work perfectly “The characters in my world of make-believe are inspired by everything charming and sweet about this beautiful world we all share.” So lovely.

I came across the work of Anne Ten Donkelaar via The Jealous Curator and wow, I’m speechless. Anne creates these amazing flower constructions from floral paper cutouts and real pressed flowers. The end result is breathtaking. Check out her site for more pics.

Not being from the United States I’m not really down on the ‘state bird’ thing but I can appreciate these gorgeous illustrations drawn by Kelsey Oseid and sold in her shop Kulzuki. She’s drawn a whole series of states illustrated according to the feather patterns of their respective birds. Neat idea right?

Yay! I’m back

Yes, things certainly have been oh so quiet in these parts of late but I have a super excuse. My hard drive fried for the second time in a month! Me and the Mr had to do some iMac surgery to get everything working (it was touch and go for a while). Then I had to reinstall all my software which has been a nightmare! Yikes. I am really hoping that things run smoothly from now on. Fingers and toes crossed pleased!

I thought I’d share this sweet poster from Malaysian illustrator Lim Heng Swee because I’m haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaappy to be back 🙂
