new art find

This morning I discovered and immediately fell in love with the artwork of Danny Phillips. His art is authentic, colorful, realistic but with a touch of whimsy, and full of recycled materials. He is a lover of Dr. Seuss and the ocean.

A few of my favorites are below. You can see more at his etsy shop.

In his own words:

Simply put: I'm a color enthusiast. My purpose is to bring color into what can be a pretty black and white world. I also love drinking wine, driving my vespa, watching films, and traveling.

For someone who wont be underestimated.

This book is made from a lovely red Nepalese Lokta paper with gold brushstrokes. It has a great texture and feel. This fabulous paper is handmade in Nepal. It features brown bookcloth on its spine.

wanderer blank book
A book for the wanderer in all of us.

This hard backed book is covered from head to toe in a beautiful brown lace Toile Mexican Oilcloth, making it super durable. The extra durability is great if you are one, like I am, who is sometimes a little rough with things.

Oilcloth is a vinyl-type fabric that is waterproof, durable and completely wipe-able. The underside of the oilcloth is solid with a very thin white cotton webbing, which gives it its durability. Oilcloth is super easy to clean by just wiping with a damp cloth. This oilcloth was purchased from etsy shop oilclothshop.
