Have you heard about the current project of artist James Gulliver Hancock, an illustrator originally from Australia currently based in Brooklyn, New York? He is attempting to illustrate all the buildings in New York! You can buy prints and see his work here.





Pretty Cool, No?
My sister was in town last weekend and we ventured into a paper shop to pick up cards. They had an entire wall of wrapping paper sheets. I was focused on getting in and out with the aforementioned cards, but she brought this to me and said it would look cute in Harry’s room. The paper is from Cavallini and is sold in gift shops and paper stores throughout the country. The paper is poster sized.

Here are a few other of their papers that caught my eye.




Hang it directly on the wall bordered with thick grosgrain ribbon. Frame it in a standard poster frame. Easy, cheap art that is perfect for a space where you may want to switch out your art more frequently. How do you think outside the box?
I read about this on Little Green Notebook last week and finally had a chance to take a look over the weekend. What an amazing resource. New York Public Library has a massive digital collection, where downloading and printing images for personal use is free, or you can order prints in a variety of sizes directly from the site, for a nominal fee. Below are some of my favorites. Click the image to be directed to the New York Public Library source.
A series of these would be lovely in a dressing room.

Or, these would look nice framed in a dining room.


How about a series of bird and eggs?


I love the colors in this one.

It will not be long before we are seeing these in person here in DC…..

For the chinoiserie fans…


Wow, I could have spent all day looking through the countless collections. If you have not already been over to take a look, I’d highly suggest it is worth your time.
