Laughing Stalk!

I'm currently working on an identity for two amazing farmers who are starting up a CSA. They could be my most-suited dream clients as they specified they really like the idea of talking veggies! Amongst my fun veggie ephemera, I'm quite amused by these patterns ——I especially love the puffy frills around Ms. carrot's thighs.

Elisabeth's illustrations are too good and funny! + + + the shifty-eyed fellas made it into Vogue!

it's been a busy week for everyone here at Minneapolis College of Art and Design > > > reviewing, installing, judging, teaching, celebrating, learning, falling, winning…

Hello Tortoise No2!

This fella would be my pick——i particularly like No2's facial details. Thank you Deborah, from Kickcan & Conkers for introducing me to Lambert's work.

speaking of tortoises with personality, do you remember this one that currently lives with my sister.

Dear dear Jimmycat

Poor Jimmy! My trip to the veterinarian to fix her hurt foot didn't go as planned. I had an x-ray taken which showed us that she truly did have a broken leg. Her small bone (radius) had snapped when she jumped off her rocking chair. Her bones looked spongy and were cancerous and couldn't be repaired. I had no clue she was sick——just delicate on her toes, which isn't so uncommon for a kitty of fourteen.
We spent one last night with her, fed her her favorite dish of tomatoes and put her to rest this Saturday. Bear with me, a tribute to my odd and fine kitty will follow. She's been my great companion during my adult life. I miss her so.

poor kitties

This is Jimmy in her younger years. Today she has a hurt (broken?) foot. Going to the vet…

I do hope this kitty is okay! Lee Roy Tschimperle, age 7, won an Award for Outstanding Achievement at the Carver County Fair in 1953.

I stumbled upon this perfect book by Jasper Morrison a couple weeks back in MCAD's library. A quiet book with great image pairings. i will add this to my wish list...

more publications by Jasper Morrison here.

A couple weeks back, we went to the Walker Art Center's FFS. The programming = AWESOME. There are art activities, films and performances that are great for both kids and adults. rosenlof/lucas did an awesome workshop called Landscape Remix with tracings, transparencies and projection. Their activity got us excited for our art lab that Tim and I are hosting in April.

This makes me almost want to be a teen again.
