Quick Picks – Week 7, 2013

quick-picks


Here’s this week’s quick pick of internet finds. As usual, good things come in threes…


Weddings

♥ Queensland Brides has been counting down their top 30 wedding trends for 2013 on their blog. Trend number 29 is fun photos which is a trend I’m happy to follow wholeheartedly!

♥ Polka Dot Bride claims to have Australia’s first blog especially for grooms – Polka Dot Groom. It’s nice to see someone focus on the boys.

♥ If you’re in Brisbane this weekend and you’re looking for a little vintage inspiration why not visit the folk at a very vintage wedding fair? It’s on from 10 – 4pm on Saturday and Sunday, at the Bleeding Heart Gallery at 166 Ann Street, in the Brisbane CBD. With only 34 exhibitors it’s a bit more boutique, and possibly less overwhelming, than the typical bridal expo.


Art

This week I’ve been discovering and rediscovering some great illustrators.

♥ Marc Johns. His serious drawings make me smile.
    Via [share some candy].

♥ Indre Bankauskaite. I love her range, from cute penguins to whimsical butterfly women. Her work definitely goes on my wish list.

♥ Joseph Senior. I want all of the illustrations in his Hello Kitty collection.


Random Asides

♥ How cute are these tea towels? If you’re going to have to do dull things like dry dishes, at least you can do it in style.

♥ I’ve just discovered the existence of Printstagram. Geoff’s phone is usually adorned with stickers, so this might be far more useful than it should be.
    Via [Don’t hate, curate.].

♥ Geoff is very excited about the new Alfa 4C. (It’s a car. No, I don’t understand either.)

Have a great weekend!
