crack your piggy bank open for a good cause: recently, matthew was bitten by a strange spider and his course of treatment may require 8 more months of doctor and hospital visits! matthew has decided to take on some commission work to offset these extraordinary expenses. now is your opportunity to help and receive a very special piece of art in the process.

if a commission is not in the cards for you, you can still help by purchasing one of matt’s prints (shown above) at thumbtack press. checking out his website and saying hello to him on his blog might also cheer him up - try it!

oh man i am running around like a freak today so this may be the only thing i dash off to you, stupid stupid me clicked private draft on this and it never got published yesterday! so sorry! but i (still) think it’s a good one! behold the lush and magical artwork of australia’s noferin! these richly detailed works come from the minds and imaginations of candy and nicho. they seek to tell us of the colorful tales of carrara island and the pecanpals, some very lovable-looking and bulbous-headed characters who inhabit the mythical island.

boy, am i tempted to pack a suitcase and move to carrara island now…

see candy and nicho’s work in person for a limited time beginning june 20th at gallery 1988 in san francisco, say hello to them on their blog, view their flickr stream and head over to their website to see more and purchase delightful things.
