All My Friends Are Dead: Avery Monsen and Jory John

All My Friends Are Dead by Avery Monsen and Jory John is the newest book on my wish list. "Cute and dark all at once, this hilarious children's book for adults teaches valuable lessons about life while exploring each cartoon character's unique grievance and wide-eyed predicament." You can view a selection of the book on its website.

No words and mad love for this portrait series by Craig Redman.

To say I've struggled with finding time to blog would be nothing short of an understatement.  Six months into my expat-stint and I've hardly written.  I've been busy falling off horses while ascending volcanoes and testing my palate by eating bugs and live octopus. I'm getting back on the horse (on the blogging front) just as I did in the Philippines.

Bad ass, right?  This is a project I can totally get behind.  Next stop, my apartment?

Name Tagging: Martha Cooper

Ever the fan of ephemeral art, I definitely jumped at first hearing about Martha Cooper's latest book Name Tagging.  Famous for her graffiti photography, Cooper documents various tags scribed on "Hello My Name Is" stickers in the book, along with an array or interviews.

From the very brilliant Sight Unseen's  house tour of the equally brilliant Mary & Matt.  A fabulously creative living room, no?

I'm adoring this Chalkboard Globe. The continents are there and the rest is up to you, your imagination and a piece of chalk.

Heads of State Travel Posters



Whew, it's been a busy past month or so.  Pretty much all I've thought about since moving to Asia has been travel. This poster series by Heads of State is beyond inspirational, no?

Recycled Owls: Focus on Art

I sort of adore these little owl creations in the Focus on Art etsy shop. They're one of a kind pieces made from mostly recycled materials. Swoon!

Icebergs: Steven Kazlowski

Antarctica is such an uncharted territory, that fact alone makes me want to visit there.  This series of photographs by Steven Kazlowski only adds to that desire. He captured these floating titans while touring the western Antarctic Peninsula in a 62-foot sailboat.  Um, yes please!

Paintings + Drawings: Timothy Buckwalter

This poster by Timothy Buckwalter is so the story of my life, at least at the moment.  Then again, it's nearly midnight here in Korea.

Ideal Bookshelves: Jane Mount

 
I get total bookshelf envy when spotting a good personal library. Jane Mount paints pictures of bookshelves belonging to people she knows, which is a concept I can really get behind. Her Ideal Bookshelf series is simply wonderful.
