I have a book by Maira Kalman that I love to read during short breaks (some of you may remember me talking about it). It’s called The Principles of Uncertainty and I enjoy it immensely. I laugh, I think and I ponder a lot about the messages and the sights she documented in a year of her life. I love the hardcover, and I love how she strings sentences together and weaves them in with her paintings.

I usually hound the N.Y. Times website to see if she has put up anything new, and lucky me — I found the latest of her drawings + writings, this time about her love of Abe Lincoln. It’s a great way to start the week, and I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I did.

Polka Donkey is the latest collaboration between the husband and wife team of S.Britt and Maho Satoh-Britt who runs coqu-maho. She is the wood block carving genius while S.Britt wields his pen like a pro; and boy, together they sure make magic!

I’m a big fan of both their work and I do stalk around their flickr pages quite a bit. Shhh.

Beautiful animals and alphabet patterns from the very talented Alyssa of Penguin & Fish. While you’re there, have a look at her adorable plushies too, especially her limited edition kitties — my favourite is this little guy!
