Friday is book review time and I haven’t forgotten! I need a little more time to prepare the post as it will be a post about three lovely ones that came in my mailbox this week.
And of course, what better way to ring in the weekend with some lovely news? Tali Gal-on’s (featured previously) new Milk and Cookies Etsy shop is now open and it’s filled with cute prints that will surely beat away those week-day blahs! Everyone needs a red balloon, don’t you think?
Who says there’s a dearth of things for guys to collect over at shopping sites like Etsy? Ryan MacDonald’s prints and cards all feature oddball characters and monsters — my pick would be the one where the protagonist seems to have stuck a box over his head and stormed out of an office and is off to do… odd things.
Of course there’s lots of other characters that Ryan draws — many of which would actually be great to read up in a comic. And no wonder too: he credits his inspiration source as comics, street art, and the sublime colors in nature!
Anyone hungry yet?
I’m looking at these deliciously sweet illustrations by Amaranta Martinez of Piktorama, an illustrator and designer who hails from Spain, and trying very hard not to munch on something! Grab yourself a limited edition Gocco print of these sinful goodies at her Etsy shop and see more of her work at her website.
