Albie Designs: GIVEAWAY!

Art prints from Etsy that you can put in any room in your casa are clearly my jam. I mean, I have a problem. I have been Etsy stalking these prints for a good year, but haven't been able to convince LB that I should be able to spend $30 on one that I don't have a set place for. (Damn his logic I tell ya!). So instead, the lovely Kimberly is GIVING one of these away to you lucky readers. What a great Christmas gift for yourself your house, a friend, a momma, or that perfect spot right above your desk where this Denver one would look amazing! Cough. Cough. DV-01#4 den-01#4

Since I am a nosy Nancy, I asked Kim to share a little bit about her business with us all. She kindly obliged.

Tired of the corporate rat race in 2011, I decided to take my passion for illustration and try to make a career out of it. I started with a few city illustrations, assorted paper goods, and a line of graphic tee's for children. However, after reaching out to a few of my favorite bloggers I was quick to learn that my city prints were the "hot" item.  Given their feedback, I decided to grow that collection over the past few years. My shop now has over 20 domestic and abroad cities. Also, I do have a few other collections including a line of graphic prints for the "food lovers", as well as some prints from  original watercolors. I am always creating new work, including adding new city illustrations. I hope to some day have more original paintings, as that is my first love. For now though, I will just keep drawing cities.

Store Stalking Sundays: Colorado Love Edition

Last week Kim and I went and walked around the mall area on 16th street (the whole thing is sort of like a mall, but there is a main area with a movie theatre). We saw an adorable Corgi in the window of the I Heart Denver Store and headed right on in. Now, not only do I love Denver more after being in here, but I love this store! It featured a TON of local artists. I got my stalk on with my iPhone and looky what I found! The perfect shirt for a swearer like me... I curse like a sailor. True story. 20140430-083106.jpg

These little modern pendant lights would be perfect in the right space. I envision a study with a round table and one of these bad boys just chilling there. 20140430-083143.jpg

This sweet little Denver print out lists all of the things that locals love. Now, I disagree with a few of them: I am not a Snooze fan and the people at Fancy Tiger are rude, but most of the others I either know of or LOVE! 20140430-083136.jpg

A bright aqua dish towel with a retro fan!?!?!??!?!?!?!??! LURVE. 20140430-083130.jpg

This whole wall featured stuff mostly from January Jones who I bought my maps from for my gallery wall. HOW COOL to see her stuff in person/in a store. Huge fan. 20140430-083123.jpg

I recently started bike commuting to the light rail from my house on my new bike and I am sort of loving it. I typically end up standing next to a biker on the light rail with my bike and those biking fools are so nice. This sweatshirt would also look awesome covered in accidental smatters of chalk paint (inevitable). 20140430-083205.jpg

More bikes + Colorado = a good time. 20140430-083213.jpg

These last two really summed up the store: I love Colorado AND Keep Denver Awesome. 20140430-083158.jpg
