Ideal Bookshelf has moved!

Ideal Bookshelf 275: Design now at West Elm!

Ideal Bookshelf 275: Design
2011 / 11"x14" / gouache & ink on paper

This set of design books is now at West Elm, already framed (and for what I think is a pretty reasonable price, at $39). It's part of a collaboration they have with 20x200, and I'm very proud to be salon-walled in the example photo with such cool people as Austin Kleon, Lisa Congdon and Mike Monteiro.

I've noticed a bunch of you come to my site from countries where English is not the language of choice. I have painted a few custom collections in other tongues, but I don't yet have any prints for sale. If you have any suggestions on collections you'd like to see and are willing to send me photos of books spines that many people in your country love dearly, please do! I hate that there's nothing currently available for you.

Also, I'd love to do a collection of Sports-ish books, and one of New York-ish books (both in English), so if you have ideas (or photos) for those I'd love to hear them as well.

Thanks tons!

 

Nursery Wall

I painted a series of Ideal Bookshelf pieces for the Jeffers Design Group to use in a client's nursery. The rest of the room looks amazing; will link to more photos when available.

20x200 Portraits

Obviously these are not books! I do occasionally paint other things, believe it or not, including portraits of the 20x200 staff. You can see all of them here (and several more are currently in the works).
