Kari Herer: flora and illustration series

I came across photographer Kari Herer quite some time ago via Design*Sponge, and loved her first for her photographs of flowers (peonies!) and then for her series of rabbit illustrations, which she's kindly given me permission to include here. Imagine my excitement at seeing rabbits and, well, roses.

All of Kari's prints some are sold here on Etsy.

Keeping Calm - With Wine

Inspired by the proliferation of the "Keep Calm and Carry On" posters currently sold as decor, this limited edition "Keep Calm and Drink Pinot" poster was purchased at our local wine bar: Internos Wine Cafe. It was created for a vintner's festival and the wine cafe has limited quantities for sale, in person.

The flowers, by the way, are rather unusual. Called pincushions, I believe, and picked up at our local grocery.

Keep Calm and Drink Pinot is a fun play on the original propaganda poster created by the British government during WWII. We have one of the Keep Calm and Carry On posters in gray, but you can buy them online and in multiple colors from sfgirlbybay's etsy shop. The poster is now public domain, and a brief history of its non-use during the war is here on Wikipedia.

The posters are trendy, yes. I will say, however, on less pleasant days or weeks, as these last couple have been, they do lend a moment of reflection and calm.

And: Other really cool, bossy prints:
