Offline Mondays

By libbylu on May 4, 2010

I don’t know about you, but my weekends are often just an extension of my work week. While I might not be working, per se, there are tasks that assume their place on Saturday and Sunday, leaving very little room for anything else.

I’ll show you what I sent in, but let me show you the progression. Here’s his original photo: I cut him out: I made a pattern with him: Then [...]

A Little Something

A Little Something

By libbylu on March 2, 2010

I threw this together today for the Tigerprint Love Typography contest. It’s all font-based, meaning, I didn’t draw any of it. The flowers are a dingbat, and I used a couple fonts for the text. I haven’t manipulated a font in a long time, so this was fun. The blurb: “My One And Only Love” [...]

A little pattern or two: *Coming soon to Spoonflower And a print: Available as a card on Cafepress and as a print on Etsy. I could definitely be persuaded to update the colorways on these for specific uses. Talk to me. FTC disclosure: if you buy my stuff, I make money.

New Collection: Cursive Creatures

New Collection: Cursive Creatures

By libbylu on January 20, 2010

Meet Pearce, the Elephant! He’s the first in a series of cursive-inspired animals that will find their way onto prints and fabric. Pearce is far from your average elephant. With his delicate loops and curls, he’d much rather attend a tea party than muddy himself with the rest of the herd. A whimsical addition for [...]

Inspiration

By libbylu on January 6, 2010

It’s not really a New Year’s resolution so much as a “what I need right now”, but I’ve decided to look around more. I am so inspired by other designers!! Yesterday, I spent a good chunk of time staring at Letterhead Fonts. Lots of typographic eye candy. Check ‘em out. I also stared at Jessica [...]
