Daily Resolution Record by The Small Object

posted by christina

I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed. My email is piling up (if you’ve emailed us, we promise to answer soon!!), my day job is crazy, and I haven’t had nearly enough time to dedicate to Perfect Laughter. When I saw The Small Object’s Daily Resolution Record, it made me feel so much better. You put a stamp over each day that you accomplished your goal. Since you can see the whole year in front of you at once, missing one day doesn’t seem like a big deal.

I’ve had no time for resolutions, but I’m pretty sure I can use it as a Daily Sanity Record instead. I can just keep repeating: “It’s no big deal. It’s just a couple days. There are many others.”

Our favorite artist from the Neatherlands, Handiedan, has redesigned her website. And with the new redesign comes new prints! She is has some beautiful giclees for sale, but really grabbed me was the twelve color screenprint, entitled Strong No. 2. Prints can be purchased through her site as well as through Phone Booth Gallery. Also, on December 19th is the opening of Handiedan’s latest show, ‘Translucent Skin’. Artwork will be available both at the gallery as well as online.

A big thank you to WeHeartPrints for introducing me to the work of illustrator Matthew Woodson. Matthew graduated in 2006 and has already build quite a list of clients including: ESPN the Magazine, Godiva, Image Comics, Perry Ellis, and Wired Magazine. I spent a large portion of my morning looking at his illustrations, and highly recommend you do the same. Also, be sure to check out his print shop, which is full of reasonably priced giclees. Finally, here is an interview with Matthew by his current employer Jed Root.
