Being a nature lover I adore the work of Jamie Mills. Her drawings remind me of the beautiful and vast landscapes in North Central Arkansas. Now that I reside in the greater area of St. Louis I miss the hiking trails and rivers being but 10 minutes away from my doorstep. I paired one of her works (within the series “Elephant”) with a quote I found on her blog.

Work In Progress

A piece inspired by a Mumford and Son’s song “Sign No More” that beautifully expresses the liberating bond of an honest partnership. The final piece will be composed on the computer, printed on a white background bordered by a white matte, and held by a black frame (16 x 20).

More to come as the project progresses!

THE MARCH OF THE ROSE

Created for International Women’s Day; a celebration of achievements and a reminder of the positives.

“As we go marching, marching, we bring the greater days
The rising of the women means the rising of the race
No more the drudge and idler – ten will toil where one reposes,
But a sharing of life’s glories – Bread and Roses! Bread and Roses!”

PAPER SHADES

Mon, 05 Mar 2012 14:00:00 -0500

Absolutely in love with the work of Netherland designers, Daniera ter Haar + Christoph Brach. Feeling more than inspired by natural color in the past month I commemorate these designers for combining old techniques with new; ” the classical medium of handmade paper with the contemporary production technique of laser cutting.”

Please visit their site to see more from this series!

Method&Craft:

Handy tool for all you designers out there.

“You’ll be able to learn through Articles, Interviews, Videos, and Notes. Articles focus on process and workflow. Interviews let designers discuss their approach & perspective in their own words. Videos show the designer at work, sharing application-specific techniques. Notes are short tips and resource links.”
