Check out these amazing little illustration by the incredibly talented Jon Klassen. He created these for his friends Carly and Dave's wedding. The idea was each table would have a bird accompanied by a pin with the bird on it that the guest could take home. Pretty rad idea. Check out his work here.

Alexa Meade has a style like no other. She applies acrylic paint on to of her subjects. It looks fake but as you look harder at the photo they are incredible pieces of art.
Check out a couple examples here.

I love the Winter Olympics. I love hockey, curling, luge, snowboarding... you name it, I'll watch it. Hell I even watched 2 hours of cross country skiing and that is boring. My favorite sport though is hockey and I am very hopefully for a USA medal.
Check out some sweet photos of the opening ceremonies here.
This is a Wedding Invitation and a Guest Card project created as a personal project by StudioKxx. Absolutely love the detailed illustration on the E&K.
This poster is dirty (in a good way) use your hands to reveal the hidden image. Amazing idea. The poster is 18"x24" open, 10"x13" closed & packaged hand silkscreened poster with envelope. Limited edition. This poster was created by Roland Reiner Tiangco. He lives and works in Brooklyn New York.
One of my favorite artist/designers is Ryan McGunniess. He is probably my biggest inspiration ranging from his work to his story of how he found the style that has made him a prolific modern artist. Check out his amazing archive of work here.
I love Tuesdays. Mainly because it's not Monday. But also new albums come out, it's one day closer to Friday and Tiny Showcase releases a new short run print of some truly inspiring and amazing art. They have had some well known artist such as Jeff Soto(above), Josh Keyes, Jesse LeDoux and alot of great artist I have never heard of. Check out the gallery and stay tuned every Tuesday for a new delicious print.
I have discovered my new favorite blog, Gas•tron•o•my. It's an awesome food blog that searches out the worlds best eats and some equally amazing recipes. The photo above is from a trip the couple took to Chef Dan Barber's Blue Hill at Stone Barns. Check out the blog and get ready to be hungrier then you have ever been.
Quite a few of us in the Portland office are trying to plow through all 100 of WWeek's top restaurants of 2009. We'll try to keep track of our progress. Biwa, Screen Door, Navarre, Toro Bravo and Ken's Pizza are topping the collective list so far…
