focus: design shopping online

so, i stumbled onto elsewares some time ago and rather impressed with their selection of local artists (well, local to those of you who live in the ny area). in case you haven't checked out their selection of truly great independant artists, you should go. just click here. see how easy it is to find great design? my personal favorites are below....

BKLYN POSTER BOY [reFRAME*54 dean] very cool way to make your cruddy college posters look like "art"...

OLD SKOOL [old school crush cards*saturate] saturate is kate lydon and kate lydon is cool. so are her cards. any excuse to send my favorite op ed writer a mushy card and i'll take it....

TYPO [keyboard magnets*tiffany tomato] ok so she has a cool name and makes cool magnets. enough said.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT [wishes and dreams calendar*nikki mcclure] olympia artist nikki mcclure is a godsend. i'm ordering this today. each month's design is heavenly. AND THIS JUST IN- SHE'S A K RECORDS RECORDING ARTIST. she just keeps getting cooler.

EVEN MORE OLD SKOOL [spyrograph cards*saturate] more of ms. lydon's handiwork. remember spyrographs?? i loved them, despite the fact that i had to narc spyro time from my friends because my parents wouldn't let me have them. too messy. whatever...
