wednesday’s wall: the big picture.
i’ve been on the hunt for a large format photograph for my dining room, and i love many that i’ve found, but the problem has been price. can you say cha-ching? i must have exceptional taste, because everything i like is way out of my price range. but then, i discovered the work of debbie carlos, who has an etsy shop with a great variety of large format prints available at very affordable prices. debbie is a photographer based in Chicago, selling these oversized (most are 48″x 36″) posters of her photographs printed on bond paper.
debbie has also started making these large, and very delicate color prints (above) which are printed on vellum, which makes these images even more airy. the subject matter is simple, but rather ethereal, and look great hung with just some simple clips (even more affordable than framing!), which just allows the breeze to kind of blow the paper gently, as if alive. love them! for more work from debbie carlos, visit her etsy shop.

i spy: aqua.
today, i spy, with my little eye something that is aqua. soothing, calm, cool collected aqua. maybe because san francisco’s in the midst of a mini heat wave (it will never last!) i needed a dose of aqua. there’s a reason it means water in spanish. rest your eyes on this.

tuesday’s girl: juco.
i recently discovered the photography of julia galdo, and really felt drawn to it. then i saw more of her work teamed with her partner Cody Cloud, working together as JUCO, entitled ‘Cactaceae’, a story shot for TOKION magazine. i loved the images shot in the desert, at Moortens Botanical Garden in Palm Springs, with a kind of modern, native american aspect to them, that i keep seeing in fashion trends these days. here’s a look. i hope you like. for more fantastic images from juco, visit their website.

animal instincts.
oh, let’s just all say “yippee!” right now, because photographer sharon montrose has a brand new animal print shop, and it’s awesome.
sharon’s one of my favorite photographers, not only for her elegant, beautiful photos of all sorts of critters, but for her love for them, too. if you’ve never seen her etsy storque video with a behind the scenes look at a baby giraffe shoot, and how she came to work with animals, it’s a must-see, and truly an inspiring piece of footage.
but back to the new animal print shop! i’ve longed for one of sharon’s prints, blown up huge on one wall, and now they’re available in a range of large (and small) format prints, some as large as 30″ x 40′, which would be fantastic! i’m picturing that reindeer on my big black wall, but i find the donkey and that pony pretty endearing, too.
the animal print shop site is streamlined and beautiful, (with a fun new logo designed by artist leigh wells) and showcases sharon’s work beautifully. there’s even some wonderfully styled photographs of rooms with sharon’s prints on the walls so you can get a sense of how great they would look in your place. i’m excited! moo, meow, woof!
