William Morris 1883
William Morris was the driving force behind the Arts and Crafts, which was anti-industrial.   The Arts and Crafts movement emphasized craftsmanship, quality, and simplicity. Craftsman homes, with their linear lines, natural relaxed elegance, and large low pitched roofs, the most recognizable symbol of their movement are everywhere here in America, they were considered to be anti-Victorian style. In my neighborhood these to styles contrast each other on every block. Something like this today would be designed using a computer which is kind of sad, many of our products and decor today lack a human touch.

I really don’t care for the new explore feature. I didn’t think the directory was that great, but this is lame. All of the editors are essentially working for tumblr for free but instead of finding good blogs, they’re just find good posts. I am especially unimpressed with the illustration and art posts, now tumblr is just getting in the way of my being able to find good content. This is making me really not want to sign into tumblr.

whowhatwhore asked: I fall in love with your works. They're so precious. I adored the ones you illustrate Lindsey Wixson. I wish you could illustrate Frida Gustavsson too :))

Thank you so much! I LOVE Frida, I did a little colored pencil drawing of her a while back, you can see it here. I will include her in a painting soon! I can’t believe I haven’t, I have been on a Lindsey kick, it’s true.  You should see Kapena’s illustration of her wearing McQueen!
