Bird Illustrations

These fantastic bird illustrations were done for an article in Audubon Magazine about bird beaks, which "are more than nature’s ingenious designs, they’re wonders of evolution".

M&S Crockery

I recently spotted the lovely "Chickens" crockery range at Marks and Spencer, which includes teapots, egg cups, egg baskets, mugs, plates and bowls. The designs are a great mix of soft and more vibrant colours, with a very cute naive illustration style.

Mibostudio

I recently discovered the Etsy shop Mibostudio. I just love their motley crew of make-it-yourself paper animals, pictured above and below. Mibostudio is the papercraft department of the British design company Mibo, founded by designer Madeleine Rogers and based in Brighton. You can purchase these lovely creations as a pdf file, which contains the templates for your chosen set of animals. The pdf is sent to you via your Paypal email address and then you can get printing, cutting, and gluing! 

Tahato Characters

I've gathered together some images of the caramel corn snacks packaging

from the Japanese company Tahato. It's a great concept to turn the complete

bag into a character in itself, and to have a male and female version of each one!

Mac and Ninny

These lovely "Bookplates" are from a large range by Mac and Ninny, who also

produce "Book Gift Kits"and "Preserve Gift Kits", my favourite of which are below.

Beetle Print

Today I found this gorgeous 'Beetle Identification Chart Illustration' by Alyssa Nassner.

She's selling the design as a  8"x10" archival print from her Etsy shop Small Talk Studio.
