Knit accessories by NeekaKnits “I love all things crafty and handmade, but I have a serious bias when it comes to the knitted. There’s just something so special and comforting about a knitted gift…cozy, practical, and I can’t help but feel like there’s a little bit of love in every stitch. As a knitter, I love the heritage evoked by a good cable or lace pattern. However, as a maker, my passion is taking classic knitting techniques and adding a quirky, colorful twist. I strive to create hip, modern, and wearable knits.”

PapercutMonsters by Joel Kadziolka

“Papercut Monsters are more than just a typical plush toy. They are Art prints that can be enjoyed in a whole new way. Engaging paper collages are scanned and printed directly on to quality fabrics using eco-friendly inks and printing processes.

I started making my Papercut Monsters as part of a craft fair project for an illustration class and found it very relaxing and rewarding. I hope these fun quirky monsters can bring you as much joy as I had making them.”

At Comics: Philosophy and Practice this weekend in Chicago, Chris Ware revealed more details about his highly-anticipated latest project, Building Stories, coming from Pantheon this October. As attendee Kathleen Dunley put it, Building Stories is “many little books in a beautiful box.”

Stay tuned, we can’t wait to share more of this exciting new graphic novel with you.

“Chris Ware’s BUILDING STORIES is the rarest kind of brilliance; it is simultaneously heartbreaking, hilarious, shockingly intimate and deeply insightful. There isn’t a graphic artist alive or dead who has used the form this wonderfully to convey the passage of time, loneliness, longing, frustration or bliss. It is the reader’s choice where and how to begin this monumental work — the only regret you will have in starting it is knowing that it will end.”

- J.J. Abrams

I was deeply saddened over the loss of Maurice Sendak, like most kids I’m sure, “Where The Wild Things Are,” was one of my favorite books growing up. I remember getting it at the library with my first library card, I was always drawn to the books with big, big illustrations. So anyway when the girls at Ten Paces & Draw asked me to illustrate something for a Sendak tribute post, I jumped at the chance to be apart of it. 

I didn’t really sketch it out, I just put the pencil to the paper with a general idea and this is where i landed. I went with the idea of Max but I did a gender swap, much like Natasha Allegri’s gender swapped Adventure Time characters. I just wanted to have a very somber looking Max holding the boat that she comes to the island on. 

Click here to visit Ten Paces & Draw to check out other Maurice Sendak tribute drawings.

I’ll be offering prints of this piece eventually because I know a few people on instagram (I’m @dannybrito on there) asked for it. 

Check back tomorrow for some progress photos of this piece! as well as a few other surprises.
