Artwork of the Week: Drawing by Junyi Wu

Pencil drawing by Junyi Wu

Alissa! I feel the same way! Fall is so open! Full of possibilities! Brimming with potential! 

We've just finished setting up our living room (after moving in almost 4 months ago) and it feels like a fresh start. We splurged and had it painted in my favorite Pewter Mug gray and spent one night last week hanging art on the walls. I even took a drawing that we received as a wedding gift (over 3 years ago) to be framed and I'm SO excited to finally see it hung in our home and checked off my to-do list. 

And I bought a new plant! (To replace one that was recently confirmed dead.) Things are really looking bright shiny and new over here!

You can see more work from Los Angeles-based illustrator Junyi Wu on the artist's website and Tumblr, as well as purchase original artwork and prints online from Nucleus Gallery.

Shaved Nice

Red Pencil Shaving Collar

$50 via Green Accordion on Etsy

I just spent the weekend with my besty Grace, her husband Brian and their little darlings Clementine and Teddy. Grace is an art teacher at a grade school, and after hearing more about what her days are like, the antics of her students, the sort of lessons she teaches the kids---and catching her constantly on the look out for old jars and plastic berry baskets to use in her classroom---I definitely have a deeper appreciation for what she does.

I also think she could totally rock this red pencil shaving collar in class and blow all of those little minds apart. Created by Veselka Bulkan of the Green Accordion stationed in Germany, this accessory is so bold and amazing that only she could pull it off with total confidence. Do it, Grace. DO IT.

Minimal, Usually Mundane, Objects

I could just crawl into that picture and live inside it. There is something so quiet and pleasing about this image. All these items are from Daniel - Emma and can be purchased each separately. However I think they are best together. 

 Radio

 Polished brass paperweights. 

 Cork cone. (Because everyone needs a cork cone- come on!)

Thermometer. 

Pencil box- probably my favorite. 

Have an inspiring day!
