Prada sports comic book prints

I thought this was an interesting commentary on the blend going on lately between mainstream fashion and grassroots sources of hand-drawn pattern making. What is considered "cool" in the fashion world and chic in the hand-made world seems to be criss crossing a bit.
There are a lot of graphic art and comic book inspired little boutiques all around New York and San Francisco, but it's nice to see some haute culture throwing home-spun graphic art into the mix of clothing design on the catwalk.
See Kate Moss do her little turn in illustrations by James Dean.
Artist Pencil Decorative Designs

I was only going to post one thing, but then I saw these fantastic designs made entirely from repurposed artist's pencils.
Such a nice little statement in a familiar, stylish pattern. Sort of an anatomy class on the illustration toolset.
jenmaestre makes them.
Enjoy!

Sometimes Simple is All You Need...

A good friend of mine made me a couch pillow once out of a lampshade cover I liked (I know) and ever since my couches have had to match it. Can't help it. Childhood friends!
Here's a slightly new version from cipolla that's got a lovely and very simple to create pattern that really brings just the right amount of attention to the simple function of a cozy little throw pillow.
Sometimes simple is just the perfect thing to accent without taking over the style of the whole room. (Leaves more creative breathing space for new projects.)

Gotta Love the Little Ninja Hairpins

I don't think they look like ninjas exactly, but they ARE high on the cute enough to click "buy now" factor, no?
