lena corwin

rocks! I was so excited to see her new book (above) and found it at powell's the other day.
I looked through it all and loved every project and can't wait to get my copy!
Lena has the greatest style and can mix patterns well, and creates beautiful products. I am constantly checking her blog to see what she has been up to. She is definitely one to follow!

what she's been up to.

i am so excited that i got one!

i did it! i did layaway with mav of port2port press, and got a balloon print (above) from her levitate/ photographs and drawings project. i love it so much! its great quality of screenprinting (which i'm not surprised, because I believe lena corwin taught her..) and is so beautiful. i still need a frame for it though...

readymade magazine

made my day. today started off not so good, including puking, and some time in the bathroom. anyways, i'm feeling way better. basically, the highlight of the day was checking the mail and getting ReadyMade in the mail. I think this is the best issue i have seen so far- because its a fashion edition- including Lena Corwin, Moucin, and Sunshine + Shadow! since working on my current projects, these three have been inspirations to me! I was so excited to enjoy just about every page of this current ReadyMade.

you should check it out too!


p.s. they also featured fresh pressed- a diy screenprinting shop. check out their site.
(ashley i thought of you with this!)

I don't know how excited you are about lena's new book, but I am
super excited. her work always is inspiring, and I can't wait to see the photos
and samples. Lena has great taste, and a diversity of talents. She is
an illustrator, a surface designer, and a co-curator of lines + shapes.
(the book is out in july)

another huge inspiration of mine, and someone whose life i wouldn't mind having, is mav of port2port press. she prints on a pilot press, like mine, and finds enjoyment in all the small things in life. she shoots film, and is working on a couple book projects. her latest collaboration with lena corwin (another huge inspiration) is ROOTS, spring prints, in her shop here.
