Great Read: Pulled – A Catalog of Screen Printing By Mike Perry

I have a great book that just landed on my desk called Pulled – A Catalog of Screen Printing by Mike Perry published by Princeton Architectural Press. Have you come across it yet? If you love screen-printed works of art with a focus on modern, graphics and bright colors this book is for you. Pulled is a big boy — a hefty 250+ pages and contains over 40 of Perry’s favorite designers to, “Remind us that there are some things you just can’t achieve with digital printing”, which is so true.

An Egg-cellent Easter Tradition

Hi Real Simple readers! I’m Brigitt Hauck, the latest addition to the RealSimple.com team and the new holidays and entertaining blogger. As an editorial assistant for the online team, I’ll be writing some of the site’s newsletters and helping the editors with a wide range of projects. I must confess, I’m really excited to share my thoughts on holidays and entertaining with you (and hear what you have to say). I come from a big, close-knit family (my maternal extended family all reside within 5 miles of each other), so holidays are always over-the-top and I’m no stranger to hosting a party or two.

 

In fact, with Easter being this weekend, my family has a very important affair planned–our annual egg dyeing party.

Artist Belinda Kemp + Feeling Creative

I’ve been a fan of Australian mixed media artist Belinda Kemp, also known as Gretchen Mist, for quite awhile now and enjoy watching her develop her style and expand in new areas. I like the current colors she is working with — deep blues, pale mint, sea glass green… her palette really soothes me and her paintings look gorgeous in so many different decors – from a contemporary tract home to an old farmhouse in Vermont..

Ameliart: Original Paintings For Your Kids

I was approached recently by a painter who lives in Poland, Ireneusz JastrzÄ™bski, who goes by Amelia and is so talented that I knew I had to share her work with all of you today. Amelia hopes to get her original works of art before a larger audience outside of her home country and after seeing what she does, I don’t think she’ll have a problem promoting her charming work.

Jennifer Causey Photography

I’ve been a long time fan of Brooklyn-based photographer Jennifer Causey and enjoy watching her portfolio expand as her work evolves. The artful styling that she does to capture a moment so beautifully is impressive but then the way she uses her camera to embrace that mood and pass it on to others is pure poetry in motion.
