Pepa Prieto

I’m starting my list off with a serious bang. Born in Granada, with a MFA under her belt Pepa is currently making the world a more beautiful place with her paintings, drawings, graphic work and installations.

Sunken Treasure

Surely, this lady from Antwerp is going to take over the blogging and jewellery making world soon. No doubt about it.

Winners! Press

Everything about this collective is charming. From their zines to illustrations to workshops that make me want to move to Austin solely to participate… I think you’ll like it too.

Love It A Lot

Lovely blog from the lovely ladies who run White Elephant over in Hamilton. Check ‘er out!

At Swim – Two – Birds

I think this is the blog of one of the ladies behind Mieke Willems (in Antwerp)…

Dores

Pretty nice blog. She also has a vintage shop and a separate shop for her necklaces. Pretty nice.

FOREVER IS TODAY

Visually stimulating. This is what I think when I take a gander over at this Swedish blog, put together by Swedish graphic design student Hilda. Visually. Stimulating.

Jon Contino

This dude produces amazing typographic work.

Lost in the Discovery of What Shapes the Mind – Mike Perry Exhibit

As if I wasn’t already insanely jealous of this mans talent…

Happiness, etc.

This is Luci’s blog (one half of We Make Words), and it’s delightful.

Miso – City of Reubens

Pretty street art – I looove Miso’s hand drawings on public spaces! Love the contrast of the sweet figure gestures and the thick paint strokes. Her installations are pretty amazing too.

Susie Cowie

I love this lady. Her embroidery is absolutely lovely. I think I freaked out when I went to her website.

Fabric + Fabric = Quilts

F yeah to quilts! So many inspirational patterns under one link!

Grandma Industries

I love checking out Michelle’s tumblr, there are some great finds!

This Is Naive

Tons and tons of inspiration found by Tommy. There’s also guides for places to check out in Japan, England, New York, Paris…

Megan Whitmarsh

This lady is currently at Narwhal Projects – at the Atlas Findings show and her work upclose is amazing! I think everyone should see the show!!

Pete Dungey

This public installation of planting flowers in potholes is so sweet. C’mon spring, bring it on!

These are real-life abandoned churches in Ukraine! So dreamy.

Castles & pop-up books!!

Amazing Drawing Club! Does anything like this exist in Toronto?

Catorialist

This is now my life. Most beautiful cats ever!!

Science of Design

This blog is actually INCREDIBLE because you can search for art/design within different countries! Yes Iceland & Croatia!

Noah’s Art at the Folk Art Museum

This is honestly the most beautiful thing in the entire world. Please go to the Folk Art Museum in New York and stare at it for hours. Made me realize how incredible & determined people can be.
