GOOD/Cole Haan Illustration Submission
I found this great contest through GOOD called Project Doodle: Something Good in the World. The challenge is to do a drawing based on someone or something putting good into the world. I am a sucker for a competition - and it helps that it is being supported by Cole Haan. I immediately thought of a national but locally started non-profit called Growing Power. Their vision is to inspire communities to build sustainable food systems that are equitable and ecologically sound, creating a just world, one food-secure community at a time. They were the PERFECT subject for my illustration.
Here it is - I’m pretty happy with it. Remember people: take care of yourself, your community and your planet.

Scotty Reifsnyder - Design & Illustration
I absolutely love these illustrations from Scotty Reifsnyder. Anyone who designs for Wilco and Runner’s World is A-OK with me. Check out the rest of the colorful illustration and design portfolio here.
Treasury: Don Draper Approved
You know how I love the 50s/60s era, so I must also love MadMen by default. Check out today’s treasury in honor of my favorite, favorite Don Draper and crew.
Treasury: Mid-Century Mod
Have a look around tonight’s treasury, Mid Century Mod. I love all of these gorgeous Etsy items - whether vintage, new or repurposed. I feel like watching MadMen now.
Anthropologie: The Realm of Mystics
I absolutely love the new catalog from Anthropologie. (I extra love them for printing on nice paper.) The theme is both magical and whimsical - or, in their words, visions of ethereal elegance.
Do You Live in a Happy City?
Loving these cut paper pieces from Hort Illustration for enRoute Magazine (via e-sushi.) They certainly imply a happy, happy city - wish I was riding my bike through Central Park right now!
popbar, NYC
I am probably very lucky that I do not have a popbar near my house - I am constantly chasing and tackling the guys that push the popsicle carts. I am, however, considering a trip out east just to visit! Popsicle genius.

StudioWisco Love!

Rachel of StudioWisco was kind enough to feature my Bicycle Built for Two card on her fantastic design blog. I’m a big fan of her site, so this was a pleasant surprise on this fine Friday!
