Better bust out your best chonklit ceegars, as something Eddy this way comes! There won’t be a dry seat in the house when you feast your eyes on this mischievous little tramp. Drawn! contributor S.britt’s (say, that’s me!) friendly toothless urchin, Eddy Broth has now been put up for adoption.
This comical and cuddly doll is just the thing for you to play with, sleep with and love forever. So much like a real friend, you’ll hardly notice the difference. Looks and smells just like an actual orphan! Eddy has a soft cotton body, a big happy smile and several outstanding warrants. Each wears a bright felt t-shirt featuring one of three delightful phrases and one sad cry for help. Give him a hug but never turn your back on him. Wouldn’t you like a friend like Eddy?
Each 16-inch Eddy is hand-signed by the artist and comes with a Best Friend Membership Card and free decal! Handmade in the U.S.A. Get yours today!
When I set eyes on the work of my newest Flickr contact, AllaKinda, it was love at first sight!
AllaKinda is “an online shop hosted at Etsy. There you could find different graphic stuff like bookmarks, pinback buttons, illustrations or flipbooks.”
The art that graces these items is the creation of Yuyuka and Txesco, a couple from Barcelona who say, “We like drawings, illustration, animation and other -ations. We would like to move our experience in these fields to the creation of daily objects.”
Meet my brother, Guy Latulippe. He’s a garment designer who has turned his full attention to designing some amazing bags, purses, and totes.
When a wise and talented friend remarked on the fact that bags transcend size and shape of body, a new course was set. Inspired by mythology, super-heroes, music, mechanical systems and the wonders of the natural world, my bags are artisanal pieces, that are part of a collection. The bags are to be considered part of the wearer’s ‘armor’ elevating one’s sense of confidence as one sets out into the world.
His attention to detail and passion for his craft have always impressed me. Whether it’s his Pursonalities handbags (above), his impressive messenger bags, or his take on Christmas stockings (below), his creations always turn heads.
Visit his Etsy shop, or stalk him on Facebook, and send him some internet love.
Never one to toot my own horn (I should be so nimble!), I’ve been asked many times over the years (alright, twice) if I ever had prints available and the answer has unfortunately always been a very apologetic “nope.” Well kids, your pirate ship has come in and it’s carrying a beaucoup of bootleg prints! Okay, so they’re not bootlegs (not yet at least, give ‘em a week or so on the open market), but they are prints and they’re of the utmost and most “ut” quality (of subpar pictures) you’ll ever find (if you don’t look all that hard)! Introducing 15 “hoof and mouth” selected prints of past favorites and current contenders, there’s sure to be at least one or two in the bunch that appeal to both your discerning glass eye and your fashionable velcro wallet.
Printed on fancy pants paper using the finest technology NASA has to offer (circa 1986), these prints are guaranteed to increase in value if I die tomorrow! And if that’s a risk you’re willing to take, then I accept your challenge and most major credit cards (except Discover and the Radio Shack Battery Club). Don’t wait! Become today what you’ve always dreamed of – a fine collector of mediocre art!
The Etsy blog has posted this insightful video profile of animator/illustrator Julia Pott. I wrote about Julia’s student film, the Creature Comforts-esque My First Crush last year, and it’s interesting to see her talk about her (admittedly rather girly) creative influences and to watch her work.
Illustrator Chet Phillips has just released a series of gorgeous, affordable prints on Etsy called Twilight of the Tiki. Perfect for your tiki-themed bar.
GrowBots Design creates screenprinted images, like the rocker-outers seen above, and hand-made stuffed animals. Peek behind the scenes on flickr & check out the shop on etsy too.
Hee! I love this anthropomorphic eyeball, courtesy of
