1. A Paper Forest I am so behind in reading my favorite blogs so I am only just now seeing this Paper Forest by Kelli Anderson for Tiny Bop's PLANTS! app. Kelli and her team created thousands of itsy bitsy paper objects to create a vignette of the forest to illustrate the life of plants

1. Aesop Illustrated Since November, at the design company I work at, we've been immersed in the land of nursery rhymes and poems as we illustrate large scale posters for the primary elementary school classrooms. I got pretty excited to see how other artists are tackling these poems and fables in the modern world. See more of Denise Gallagher's work on Aesop Illustrated on For Print Only, or check out her site. 2. Brave the Woods' Target Gift Cards Design I always have the hardest time picking out which gift card design I like best

Just watching made me so excited to create and read and learn and share! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did or at least I hope it brings a smile to your face this Friday morning! 2. Once in A Lullaby Adorable poster by The Heads of State (and congrats on the new site!)

1. Flourish Letterpress Wedding Stationery Seriously in love with every piece and every detail in this wedding invitation suite. Printed by Flourish Letterpress, found via the Graphic Exchange. 2. Circus Characters by Jonas Bergstrand Beautiful illustration work by . My eye is particularly drawn to the way patterns are used in the shadows. Found via Brave the Woods, illustrated by Jonas Bergstrand. 3. Want this Typeface: Oaf Can I have it? Pleeeeease? Oaf doesn’t go to art museums or the opera. Oaf doesn’t eat paté, whatever that is. Oaf was painted on a wall by an eccentric Canadian with a paint roller. The result is an unusual combination of straight, evenly weighted strokes and rough, handmade charm. Purchase Oaf here. Found via Good Design Makes Me Happy. 4. Destination NYC Logo It took me awhile to come on board the trend in every changing and morphing logos
