Yes, I’ve gone to the dogs again.
Recently sniffed out Stephen Fowler’s wonderful illustrations at Gemini Studio Art. His current collection contains 1000+ designs inspired by the many dogs in his old Wrigleyville, Chicago, neighborhood, his former day job designing labels for whiskey and tequila bottles, and his fascination for big graphic artwork, vintage/urban design and advertising posters. Pretty fetching, I say.

Spring is practically here. You know what that means.
Eggs eggs eggs. 
Boil ‘em, dye ‘em, decorate ‘em, hide ‘em.
Don’t know eggsactly why, but lately I’ve become a tad obsessed with cupping them. After all, they deserve due props and pedestals for being so dang versatile. We have several egg cups in the Alphabet Soup kitchen, but I thought it would be fun to acquire a few more.
Hah! When I looked around, the yolk was on me. Those egg cups runneth over! Now I can’t even make up my mind.
Here’s a mix of my faves: retro, vintage, sassy, modern, whimsical, interesting, funky, just plain cool. Most of these are for sale, so click away for more info. Not that I’m trying to egg you on or anything.

It’s all Andy Warhol’s fault that I’m hooked on soupy pop art stuff. The iconic Campbell’s soup cans continue to appear on jewelry, accessories, even fishing lures, and they just keep calling my name. (Click on each image for more info at Etsy.)

Hi Goober! Or should I call you Groundnut, Pygmy Nut, Monkey Nut, or Pig Nut?
Whatever your name is, you’re awfully cute ! And you’ve got peanut butter breath! Always a good sign. You’re my kind of person!
Thought you might enjoy some peanut butter-inspired art and goodies today. In March 2011, Peanut Butter & Co., a cool sandwich shop in Greenwich Village, sponsored the Nutropolitan Museum of Art, a 3-day exhibit featuring 365 variations of the peanut butter sandwich. Most of the ideas were conceived by Founder and President Lee Zalben. Here are a few of my faves:
“Sunny Day” (CocoPop multigrain cake, Smooth Operator PB, clementine orange segments)
