I’m loving the new range of home furnishings designed by Mary Kilvert — her new Town Houses wallpaper would brighten up any child’s room with its simple yet fun illustrations. You can see her BigCartel shop for more goodies, including cushion covers, mugs and prints.
I’ve been seeing lots of elephants lately, and I thought that it was high time for another Inspiration post! And while I zip around here in the backend attending to pressing matters I’ll leave you here with a selection of artworks dedicated to these gentle giants for your enjoyment!

I’ll catch you again tomorrow with the first of a special series of interviews! 🙂
I’m loving the old-school style of work.place – a website started by photographer Carlie Armstrong detailing the work spaces of artists and craftspeople in the US Pacific Northwest. She hopes to present the inspiration and process of each individual; how they work in a space and how they decorate their surrounding studio.
My current favorite artist on there at the moment is Evan B Harris (I’m linking to his Etsy shop as his website hasn’t been updated since 2009). His illustrations seem to be rooted in folklores and stories culled from his imagination. The best part? He has had no formal art training and is self-taught.
I like the freshness of the website, and the quirky style at how the images and text is presented. With static frames surrounding it, it’s as though the viewer is looking through a camera lens or a picture frame. It has a simple and yet editorial layout, which I thought was interesting because a lot of the websites I see these days seem to consist of slick, rounded corners and metallic-glitz.
To see more artists and pictures, head to the work.place website.
