designer spotlight: leanimal

Oh boy, how long I’ve loved Leanimal. I found the line on one of my etsy-random-clicking adventures, but the shop there was woefully understocked.
Come to find out that Leanne Marshall, the designer of this great stuff, has moved to Portland and has been doing e-commerce on her own site.

Whilst poking around her site, I learned […]

new collection: Locher’s

designer spotlight: sam trout

(images: sam trout)
Sam Trout is a friend of Ruffeo Hearts Lil Snotty, one of my recent obsessions. His work is pretty, simple and complex. He’s mainly working on printed t-shirts, with artsy details and sometimes decorative stitching.
My favorite pieces are the all-over prints. I can be pretty picky about prints, but Sam’s are light, delicate, […]

Chicago designer Orlando Espinoza draws inspiration from the city around him – the iconic skyline and impressive architecture have clearly influenced his sculptural creations, which are clean, sleek, and never over-embellished.
