I just happened upon the drawings of Jon Carling in the art section of Etsy and I’m completely smitten. This one, entitled Led by a Creature White as Snow, reminds me of my favorite childhood book, Fables.

Find more of his work here.

When I wish that I could draw, which is often, I wish that I could draw things like these. Simple and dark and full of humor. Like something from a children’s book.

See more of Don Kenn’s work here.

I am absolutely in love with the photography of Billy und Hells. From Rossetti homages to cowboys, it’s all amazing, decadent and enchanting. Alas, our love is not meant to be. The few prints I can find available for sale are around 2500 Euros each. Time to buy a few scratch tickets and hope for a lottery win.

Framed family trees can make beautiful heirlooms, but they are just that… heirlooms. They can look a little out of place or stodgy if your decor is more modern.

But My Tree and Me allows you to design a beautiful, modern version of your family tree by choosing a design and colors and filling out a simple genealogy form.

I just ran across some of the work of folk artist Dylan and Jo over on Super Punch. These, well, I don’t really think you can call them dolls, so these pieces of art are from a collection called “frivolity.” Certainly worth spreading the word about.

This unusual print is one of four in a similar vein I found at Studio Beerhorst’s Etsy shop. Other works include drawings, collages and wood-cut prints, but these classical giclee prints are what really caught my eye (no pun intended).

There’s finally a use for that tumbleweed of pet hair you keep finding under the bed. Well, there is if you’re Paul Hazelton. He makes sculptures out of the stuff. I just wonder how he keeps from sneezing them into oblivion.

Artist Vanessa St. Laurent paints nothing but candy. Which is, I suppose, the next best thing to eating it and requires a lot fewer trips to the dentist.

I have never been technically inclined, but I couldn’t help being complete intrigued by these prints of ordinary objects disassembled and artfully arranged by Etsy seller Brittny Badger.

Each 13×19″ print is $50.

I recently attended the Etsy Dallas Spring Bash where I discovered some wonderful photographs (many taken in Texas) from husband and wife team, Karl and Kathleen.

Their store is called Seen Studios. Each image they sell is roughly 8″x10″ and printed on a 13″x19″ sheet with a white border ($35 each). But custom sizes are available upon request.
