How nice!

Babble.com included Love Sugar in their feature, "20 Incredible Artists on Etsy":

Feeling Blue...

We received a request to create a blue version of, "Yes, Please".

Please, please me, oh yeah, like I please you--it's always a good time to quote the Beatles.

Have a great one.

Get Ready...

Just added a few more ready made logos to my design shop:

A Little Gray and Yellow

I really do love the combination of yellow and gray, and it seems to have gained more interest these days.

I recently received a request to convert a couple of our more popular prints into yellow and gray. Take a look...

Toi et Moi

Enjoyed a wonderful birthday with the boys and I am currently enjoying a little creative, down-time.

Been working on this print, "Moi et Toi", for several days now and it finally came together. After being a little blocked, it's good to be productive again.

I think we've entered our "gray" phase. We'll see.

Yes, Please

Hi there!

We've had a very busy month, so it's nice to finally be able to get back on track and back to work.

Here's our latest print, "Yes, Please".

Getting Around

There are definitely some interesting and diverse spots to visit here in Miami--places to check out some great street art, grab a bite to eat and to relax amongst the splendor of nature.

Here are some photos of our recent travels around the city:

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

My sister asked if we could create a print for her girlfriend to hang in her bar.

I think it's kind of a novelty for anyone to have a bar or a real "liquor cabinet" in their homes these days, much in the style of our parents or in my mind, those characters on Mad Men who are always ready to offer a martini or something on the rocks.

So I drew out this design and Jimmy helped with the colors.

It's available in our shop here.

Wishing you all a happy new year!

Sweets for My Sweet

I'm a big Chet Baker fan and adore his version of "My Funny Valentine".

It's sweet and moody and all around perfect.

Of course it's a great song no matter the singer or arrangement.

One of my favorite lines in the song is what inspired this print.

I love doing typographical prints, such as this, and creating the illusion of textures and layers.

It's available in our shop in a few different sizes.

Small Gift

Art Basel is going on right now, here in Miami, so today we headed a few miles over to the Design District to check out Sanrio's "Small Gift" art exhibition.

It was simply awesome.

Instagramy Goodness!

Jimmy and I recently installed the Instagram app on our iPhones. It's essentially social networking with photos. You can add cool filters and effects to your photos and share them with your Instagram friends.

Here are a few of my photos:

Creating Collages

Jimmy came up with this fun idea to turn one of our prints into a collage, and it was really very easy.

We took a digital copy of our print, "Say Yes" and printed it out on sticker paper. This is really easy to come by--we bought a pack at Office Depot for about $12.

Jimmy actually printed out all of the details separately, for instance the hair, facial features and collars. Using the original as a reference, he carefully peeled off the sticker backing and placed it on a sheet of corrugated cardboard.

It was really a fun, easy and quick project. We're thinking that it might look really cool to create something like this on a wood panel--it would really make a sweet, little gift and wouldn't cost to much to put together (Utrecht sells small, wood panels for under $3).

Have fun!

Wish You Were Here

I adore the "Boring Postcards" series by photographer Martin Parr.

The series offers three, small books, not much bigger than the size of a postcard itself.

I bought my first book in the series several years ago and thought it was a collection of incredibly dull, vintage postcards, however, it turned out that each is the creation of the very clever Mr. Parr. Which seems a remarkable feat in styling when you consider the great eye for detail it took to achieve each and every "bland" postcard.

While I suppose they might be, for some, little more than coffee table material, the series of books induce an almost meditative effect as you skim through their pages, occasionally fixating on some seemingly old and overly saturated postcard.

Unfortunately, the books are now out of print, but if you happen upon one, I wouldn't pass it up--it's a fun browse and an interesting addition to your book collection.

New Print: "Let's Go"

We hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving!

We just wanted to share our latest print with you titled, "Let's Go".

We really love the vintage aesthetic and had great fun creating this one. One of the influences for this piece was the Japanese fashion guide from the 60's, "Take Ivy"--check it out if you can, it's simply awesome.

Hope you like it!

Do It Yourself Magazine!

We are so thrilled!

Two of our prints made it on the cover of the winter issue of Better Homes and Garden's Do It Yourself magazine!

Our "I'm Sew Very Happy" and "Je T'aime" prints appear on the mid-right section of the cover!

It's the first time we've been published and we are just beyond excited that it's a Better Homes and Gardens publication--what an honor! Of course we bought up a few copies that we spotted at our local Target!

Ms. Pamela Porter styled the shoot and we just have to say that she did an incredible job--she is so extremely talented.
