Lines & Shapes 7: Reka Kiraly

Found the beautiful work of Reka Kiraly through the latest issue of Lena + Mav’s Lines & Shapes 7. I love the simple forms and shapes that have so much texture to them! And of course, the assembly of these forms are wonderful!

Other artists for the issue includes Wayne Pate, Lia Sáile, George Song, and Molly Wizenberg.

From Lines & Shapes:
Reka was born in Hungary, Budapest and currently lives in Helsinki, finland with her husband and son. She is a graphic designer and illustrator. She loves paper, enjoys collaborating with others, taking long walks, eating soup and many other things. She doesn’t really like November.

I am also thoroughly enjoying her blog filled with pictures from her daily life.

The Cloudy Collection

I stumbled onto David Huyck’s project called The Cloudy Collection by accident. He added me on Twitter (@huyckd), and I checked him out, and well, you know the rest!

These beautiful letterpress prints are made on 4″x6″ ivory-colored bamboo paper using 100% vegetable-based inks, printed with all wind-power by Boxcar Press in Syracuse, NY. The edition is limited to 100 sets of prints with art by Meg Hunt, Bill Fick, John Martz, Amy Crehore, Tom Kaczynski, Steven Weissman, and David Huyck. A portion of the sales will go to The Nature Conservancy.
