Every Day Matters: Draw a Lamp

I don't know where the spiders came from? This is sick, but I think I got bit by a spider during my sleep a few nights ago. So how about that sleepover at my place? I'll provide the tunes!

The USPS issued these stamps recently, love it. Possibly the closest thing I'll own to an Eames product:)

What Advertising Should Be..

These are all images from various Kate Spade advertising campaigns. There's always a fun, whimiscial theme and liberal use of color that manages to hit a chord of nostalgia for memories I don't even have.

What is Every Day Matters?

It's Official! Paris.

A couple days ago I bought a plane ticket to Paris. It was such a liberating feeling to purchase this with my own money and know that this experience will enrich my life. I know it sounds cheesy, but there really isn't any other way to describe it without sounding like a complete lame-o. I've never been overseas and I am beyond excited.

Jon and I are going to visit his former foreign exchange student and friend, Arthur, who just visited him/us earlier this Summer (pictures from his departure here). The trip is less than two months away and I cannot wait to experience the food, people, art, and architecture, all the things that make it the number one destination in the world.

For my birthday, Jon's parents got me the Moleskine Paris City Notebook, which I've already started jotting down places to I hope to visit. I can tell this baby will come in handy with all the maps and blank pages to write down the food, people and places I will encounter. It looks like it will last me a few trips across the pond. Does anyone have any suggestions beyond the usual tourist attractions?

Every Day Matters

Some pretty ladies in color. Lately, I'm only drawing super girly things.. just keeping it pretty.

I was feeling pretty uninspired, so I was looking for a list of things to draw. I found this group called Every Day Matters, and everyone in the group draws the same thing for a year or something? The "challenge" happened last year, but it's a nice long list and I'm going to start doing it. Join me? I'll start tagging them "Every Day Matters."
