pin-up
am i becoming precitable? apologies but i can be a bit of a tart for vintage – especially if it’s bordering on kitsch. most of these pin-ups certainly fit the profile, and a couple of them are even rather classy. nothing like some fifties babes to start your weekend off on the good foot, though.

haasbroek t-shirts
remember the Z-A series by jaco haasbroek? well, he’s submitted a design to threadless that shows the entire character alphabet and people need to vote for it so it can be printed. i would personally LOVE this on a t-shirt!

valentine
i don’t want to be a party pooper but i’ve always been kind of *shrugs soulders* about valentines day. that being said, if i was planning on sending something to someone, it would be one of these cute cards from rifle paper co and perhaps a bunch of hydrangeas. oh wait, that’s what i would want someone to send to me (hint).

frock
the frock collection
by anja louise verdugo: Painted clothing, mostly from the 20’s and 30’s, based on ebay photos of things I couldn’t buy. An upgrade from the low-quality ebay photos, and a way to have these items without actually owning the frocks.

chocolat
these vintage ads really amused me. you can almost imagine the dudes saying, “come on boys, this chocolate isn’t going to carry itself!” (in french)
i suppose i would put myself in danger for some chocolat.

drop caps
i’ve been holding out on posting about jessica hische’s daily drop cap project, but as she recently updated her website i thought it was fitting.
Daily Drop Cap is a project I started in September of 2009 in which I illustrate a decorative letter every day (or at least every work day). The project will continue for approximately twelve alphabets and are available for non-commercial use as drop caps on your personal blog.
she really is an exceptional typographer (and illustrator and designer). ok i can’t resist, here’s some more:

daily diaries
i really look forward to these little illustrations by gemma correll, and i always lament that i don’t do something similar – especially because life can be mundane but there’s always something amusing to be found in the little things (eg: smoked mussels that looks like tiny vaginas). i’ve always been hopeless at keeping a diary, so well done gemma (and keep them coming). oh and she also participates in the what i wore today flickr movement, see her outfits here.

the ice maiden
the ice maiden (1915) – edmund dulac
1915 you say! this looks like something a modern day illustrator would create and sell prints of on etsy. except 1000 x better (edmund would have been a hit on etsy)
