Last Sunday I was asked to be interviewed by CBC Radio’s North By Northwest show hosted by Sheryl McKay to talk about Jim Rimmer. Needless to say, I was extremely honored and was happy to stop by.

Interview with leather artisan Kara GintherPosted by: ryan @ 12:02 am in people, vintage finds |
One day, while browsing through Flickr, I came across some gorgeous bicycle seats. The designer, Kara Ginther, carves each unique seat and believes that it’s important to maintain the hand of the artist in any design work. The end result is an amazing piece of functional art.

Letterpress with a touch of love: Prints by HijirikPosted by: naomi @ 11:12 am in featured shops, letterpress |
I love the look of letterpress.
There’s something about the smell of inks and the way the paper feels as you run your fingers over the slightly indented text that makes me sad to think it’s a dying art form that may one day disappear. While browsing Etsy the other day, I came across a lovely letterpress shop run by the sweetest girl, Hijirik, who also owns Hijirik Design Studio.
