Wild, Wild Tamarinds

Our series of Wild Tamarind designs was inspired by the playful energy of the beautiful Tamarind trees that grow (wild and uncultivated) in the somewhat hidden semi-tropical valleys of Bhutan. This popular look has appeared on notecards, journals, shower curtains and bath accessories. And now; fabric! Check it out:

The Flowers Of Madagascar

An array of cherished vintage marbles hidden at the bottom of an indigo/turquoise sea? A lush green field midway up a misty mountain, viewed through a blue colander? Either way, our brand new Madagascar Small Floral fabric is available here. Nice!

August Is A Bridge, A Welcome Sign, An Open Door

Even as summer sizzles its triple-digit sigh, there is an eager awareness. The distant tinge of autumn's reawakening spirit. Faint, yet noticeable. We fill another glass with ice cubes, sit back, close our eyes and imagine the brilliant colors to come.

Little Yellow Spot On The Sun Today

Recently came across this Picasso quote: Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun. Here's some new artwork from this morning. A brand new positive space/negative space repeat pattern. There's no spot that is yellow, however I do spy a yellowish-green-blue sun shining through.

Handmade, Dimensional, Archival

Been spending a few minutes here and there working on a little organizational project. Pretty fun to rediscover some of these original handmade cards from the Running Rhino archive. This collage card would certainly have been made while sitting on the floor of our little apartment on East Loretta Place. No doubt, both of us would have been wearing Guatemalan pants and rocking out to Geggy Tah or Diamond Fist Werny.

Colorful, Geometric

Here are some additional boxed notecards from Running Rhino's newest release. Love this series-- very bright, fun, bold, rhythmic, and friendly. Would love to paper the walls, upholster the furniture, and cover the floor with this look.

New Notecards? Yes!

Received samples of Running Rhino's new line of notecards. These boxed notes, along with coordinating cards and journals, debuted at last month's Stationery Show in New York. The designs are from our brand new collection of animal repeat patterns. Skipjack seems to like them all, and is hard-pressed to choose a favorite.
