Feeling like you have the whole world on your shoulders (hands)? Braving being assaulted by life new complexities? Trying to make sense of it all and keep doing no matter what? Well, as I like to say: “Never underestimate the power of ONE!”
She just nailed it! Pepa Prieto.
Jacqueline Kari Bos is an illustrator and painter based in NYC, who also dips into fashion illustration that includes photos of bits and pieces of textures and patterns has well as hand-drawn details. Couldn’t resist the appeal of these two montages.
Miriam Casanellas is a recent graphic design graduate from Barcelona now living in London and is growing a nice portfolio.
Catching my attention is this campaign (made at SCACS SA advertising agency) for a new line of sport clothes. The campaign asserts for the real woman that “The doll women era is gone, now is time for the real ones”.
Luv it that Barbie® stereotype is finally being defeated with reality — as in wait till you have a couple of kids to see how true this is.
The girls at Three Tarts located in NYC, stock goodies (prepared daily) that are of consumate refinement or simply fun and goofy. Luv the Rooftop S’mores that come ready with sticks and matches for rooftop roasting (camping)?!?! How about that?
Lola is one of those exceptional artist who are very hard to categorize. The (almost) featureless characters have something both dark and innocent and are always staged in fantasy landscapes accompanied by strange animals.
Her work is mysterious yet emotional and as much part of her art, are the frames she chooses to add another layer of drama to the piece iitself, conveying even more, familiar with improbable.
On the nice minimalist grid website of Kate Spade although I think the index is a bit too crammed there is this Things We Love section which is an image based linkorama to discover odd knick-knacks as well as more serious stuff.
Her sense of street-smart style (check the Spring collection montage) is always mixed with her heart-smart social activism, mainly focussed on women living in dire situations.
Another fine example on how your success can be used as an influence platform to do good around you.
Harajuku (hara-joo-koo) Lovers is an irrisistible brand, aptly termed “a fatal attraction to cuteness” that was first captured by Shoichi Aoki which lead to publishing two wildly popular books and a cult-like magazine based on Tokyo Street Style.
Highly recommend you acquire these. They can prove fool-proof assets if you hit the blank state. A couple of pages will suffice to kick you right back into gear — thinking to yourself — what? no such thing stopping me from being creative and using my imagination; if they came up with this crazy over the top original fashion style they wear in public, there’s nothing I can’t do.

A couple of years ago, purchased a cool (mini) messenger bag with this message printed in big typo on the flap cover:
“Our Love is the Real Thing”
What a powerful statement in opposition perhaps, to “Our War is the Real Thing” hinted by the green camouflage printed pattern.. Wanted to shout it to the world.. and did.. by carrying it around. Little did I know that I had fallen for the girrrl empowering brand Gwen Stefani had created.
The new video campaign for Harajuku Lovers Fragance which had to seize Gwen’s vision of “cuteness” was commissioned to FWY (Friends With You) Studio who dwell into happy design too..
Now “G” sits pretty at a place of honor amongst other toyz on the studio mantle, stating silently:
Powagirrrls rule (with more than pink design)!!!
