Love these playful illustrations and sketches by Emmeline Pidgen, an illustrator based in Cornwall. She draws these adorable characters and has tons of fun sketches, which you can see on her blog. The only thing that’s missing is a shop!

Happy weekend everyone — I’m going off for some R&R, but will be back on Monday. And next week is the big reveal so sit tight! (Psst – want a little sneak peek?)

2011 illustrated calendars

I can’t imagine working without a calendar on my desktop, so it’s no surprise that I like to start preparing early by looking at what’s out there before the year ends. There’s a quite a number of 2011 calendars out there already, and I thought that it would be nice to share those that caught my eye!

Ashkahn cards

Ashkahn

Can’t get enough of Mr. Ashkahn? Well you’re in luck because he just released a line of fun hand-printed cards that will make your recipient smile. Not the warm fuzzy kind of smile though — it’s more of a chuckle (which can sometimes border on a smirky grin) because they’re that funny.

Check them out!
