Loving Jenni Saarenkylä‘s collection of prints entitled The Bear is the Forest; inspired by Finnish folklore of the same name.

The Time is Now returns!
Posted by Amy on Friday September 18, 2009
I’ve been waiting for Naomi’s return for a while now, and I’m glad she did! She just reopened The Time is Now and also her new shop, Antlered Kitsune that sells illustrations and papercuts done for her thesis, which is centered around the folklore characters kitsunes and the stag.
She’s also celebrating with a special offer for those who are interested in getting themselves her lovely items: free international shipping for the first three peeps who contact her via Etsy. Not only that, those who contact her will be entered into a raffle to win her papercut art cards!

Allan Deas

Have you seen the latest issue of Blanket Magazine yet? It’s from their latest issue (a beautiful theme of everything blue) that I found the link to Allan Deas’ work. Everything is beautifully retro and organic in nature — two of my favorite styles put together!
Read his interview over at Blanket Magazine and see more of his work over at his portfolio.

Abbey Christine
Posted by Amy on Tuesday December 16, 2008
No, the laptop is not quite done yet, and is still in the workshop, but from Renegade Handmade’s new shop I found the work of Abbey Hambright who sells under the name abbeychristine and I simply had to share. I am loving her custom-made felt finger puppets of pop culture icons and famous people (care for a Yoko Ono finger puppet anyone?), but find it ironic that I am sticking a finger up their you-know-what, even if it’s only figuratively! :)
Read her blog for updates on what she’s up to, and have a gander at her flickr stream for more indie goodness.
The Art of Katy Horan
Posted by Amy on Monday March 3, 2008
When the Moon is Full
This Lady is Magic; Candle
Katy Horan’s illustrations and paintings are very different from many others I’ve seen. Her style is one that’s firmly rooted in a folksy way — drawing from a well of mythical creatures, witches and horned ladies. She’s been featured around the blogosphere already, but I love her work and thought that I might share.
She’s on On My Desk, and Book By It’s Cover.

A peek into her home studio
Have a looky at her newly designed website and there’s her blog too. She has a ton of her works up at her flickr site, and she sells her stuff here, here and occasionally, here.
