Dear Amy,

I am a big fan of yours, and when I went over to your shop and tried to buy some things that might have some of your witty, wonderful images, there was only a few to be found—in the form of zines at that. And at your blog, I was teased by your colourful people and your one-liners that usually send me rolling on the floor with laughter.

For now, I can only be appeased by a few of your full-color limited edition edition zines that’s for sale. And because I’m not a fan of ripping zines up, oh please, please, make some prints and put them up for sale so that I can hang some on my funny-depraved walls.

Sincerely,
Amy

I stumbled on this shop called La Marelle and found wonderful things that’s illustrated by artists. My favourite has to be Lauranne Quentric’s writing papers.

Other artists’ works include notebooks from Llor (left) and Sophie Leblanc (right). New stock is available in February 2008, but there’s a good mix of stationery like postcards, notebooks and even buttons for you to drool over!

James Ulmer does quirky, offbeat illustrations, which I feel are in the same vein as Amy Brown’s. These two prints are my favourites from the freelance illustrator who’s living in Philadelphia. His website is still under construction (but you can see some of his illustrations there), but hop on over to his Etsy store to see more!

EDIT
James has since updated his website. Thanks for heads up, James!
