Whether you’re into tea and biscuits or coffee and cake, this cute mug by by British designer Dominic Skinner pairs the two up cutely. (And keeps your servings nice and small)

It’s called the Dunk Mug 

Genius!

Bless you, Germans.

Nothing like a good smack in the face to inspire better design.

Working on a little project for a close friend.  I’ve decided I’m an excellent copier.  Give me a picture of a designer bag, I can adapt it into your save the date (my new slogan).

I found this image circa 1920 at the New York Public Library Digital Gallery and it was love at first sight.  This is all thanks to a new watercolor book I found at Powell’s on Saturday.  God bless Portland for new-found inspiration.

letterheady:

A delightfully humorous letterhead, apparently used by Harpo Marx in the 1930s. It’s difficult to state just how much I love this.

#50 Lord of the Rings, Fellowship of the Ring.

Well, I watched it for the second time last night and I have to say, it was better!  My first attempt was a disaster, since my freshman roommate thought a great introduction to the Lord of the Rings was the extended versions of all three movies.  Let’s just say I wasn’t into them.

So my thoughts are one, it’s still too long.  I guess I wouldn’t say too long, but awkward.  I kept thinking wow, that’s a good ending… why isn’t it over?  The story-line probably makes better sense in the books.

The story was much more interesting this time.  I think I just might watch the other two over again, just to see if they get better than my memory serves. 

We shall see.

something inside me gets insanely happy when I see this

I know it’s cliche, but I felt like making this one colorful.  Sue me :)

I decided to celebrate making it halfway on the list by making a blog only for the wallpapers I make for the movies.  I also revamped some ones that I didn’t spend enough time on, so feel free to check it out!

I came across some really awesome illustrations that I had saved about seven years ago from an artist named Denise Lee.  I’ve googled and binged, but cannot find her!  Anyway, I thought her stuff was way too good to be just sitting in a folder on my desktop.  So I re-made them into wallpapers!  I am in no way claiming ownership of these artistically or otherwise, I just want to share her genius :)
