Leah Duncan is one of my all-time favorite illustrators. The softness and femininity of her pieces always strikes me, and I can imagine her work all over my walls in a heartbeat (especially these drab standard white apartment walls…)

what better way to spice up your space? besides her art prints, she also designs beautiful fabric for pillows and tea towels  and other great things for use in the rest of your home.

If you’d like to become as avid a fan as I’ve become over the last few years, you should definitely check out Leah’s shop, website, blog, and twitter! Her style is really addicting, with the pastel colors and pretty illustrations that tie modern style with boho delicacy. I love it!

Normally, Saturdays during this time of the year I’d be hawking my wares at the downtown Madison farmer’s market, but today the rain and wind decided it was their turn to occupy the Square, so I’m holed up in my apartment with a nice cup of hot chocolate, working on some things I’ve been putting off.

In the spirit of getting things accomplished, I’ve decided to celebrate marking things off my to-do list by having an impromptu sale in my shop, so I’ve marked everything down 20% and it’s all waiting for you over at http://pangeahandmade.com !

Treat yourself to a pretty new piece of jewelry, or show your mama how much you like her by getting her a gift for Mother’s Day!

Sale ends April 30, 2012 at 11:59pm CST.

Hope you’re having a great weekend!

this post is a little different than past (art) lover posts, because today i’m focusing on the gig poster art of John Vogl. his print studio operates under the name The Bungaloo, all of his work is stunning, but i am absolutely in love with his gig posters.

besides the fact that he makes posters for some of my favorite bands, his work is flawlessly executed.

check out the rest of his work too, because he does much more than gig posters, and he does it all incredibly well! he can be found on Etsy, BigCartel, his website, his blog, Twitter, and this guy is so cool he even has his own iPad/iPhone app! it’s free in the app store, just search “The Bungaloo”. So cool!
