A.D.I.D.A.B.K. (All Day I Dream About BK)

That’s what I call an awesome slice of Americana. Why wouldn’t you want to advertise in people’s homes the second they open their eyes in the morning? I applaud the marketing and graphic departments that came up with this delightful gem.

Dan Clowes takes on The New Yorker
Dan Clowes, better known as the artist behind Eightball Comics, Ghost World, and Art School Confidential, took on The New Yorker by designing one of their covers back in 2008.

BellaMuse artist Alicia Peck
Alicia Peck has created these beautiful prints for her cards and stationary, found in specialty stores around the world. Her main sources of inspiration come from antique images and a wry sense of humor. I love the simple, elegant, craftiness they evoke.
Check out her website and her Urban Alphabet Set (which I would LOVE to have).
