my love for you is a stampede of horses.

Mike Perry GIVE-A-WAY.

Chronicle Books is offering three readers Mike Perry's Iron Me On: 50 Sheets of awesome fabric transfers. Mike has a piece in the upcoming You've Got Light In Your Eyes at Needles + Pens, so I thought what better way to celebrate festivities then give you things! The book is on back order it's so popular...so you're psyched. Just in time for summer, you can iron some of Mike's signature doodles and drawerings onto your cute little t's that you look so foxy in. Please leave a comment, and we'll pick 3 winners on Monday a.m. Good luck, I am pretty sure you are going to win this time.

Photographer Alex Brown.

The photograph of the horse above is what reeled me into Alex Brown's work. He recently sent me a link to his blog where he uploads his work, I wanted to share it with you guys. All his images are available as prints...check him out.

maxwell loren holyoke-hirsch.

Maxwell is in the show next month at Needles + Pens. The above piece will be there live and in person. He has a super unique style that always seems to bend and change just a wee bit and continually look super, but he never loses his signature touch.I did a lil visit with him about a year ago...check it out here.

Aiko's Love Monster pics on flickr.

Man, I don't know what we ever did with out the intrawebs. I love that I can check out work online from gallery's openings/shows I have no way of getting to due to the time space continuum. Joshua Liner Gallery recently posted pics on flickr from Aiko's solo show Love Monster that opened last Saturday. I'm a huge fan of FAILE and Aiko and it's rad to see these pics. I've posted some of my favorites, you can see more on the gallery's flickr page. Check out the video below...It's rad to hear Aiko talk about her process, she is so calm and centered. (it's also sweet to see how big those canvases are!) It makes me smile to hear that she calls herself a Love Monster. I'm totally gonna bite that and call all my loved ones that. Her creativity is super inspiring.

New zine & website from Nigel Peake.

Nigel Peake just posted a brand new zine about birds on his bigcartel shop. It's an edition of 200 - 28 Pages hand stitched, 150 x 190 mm. The birds are perfect Nigel drawings, they're darling. I love what he says about the book:

"A set of new drawings about those feathered wonders that are all around us. A round this time of the year, the trees and hedges are full of colour, flurry and noise. The drawings are some of the birds I see every day. And some that I have yet to see."

Be sure to check out Nigel's spankin brand new site. He's got lots of stuff to pour over...and his blog is kickin it too.
