In the Spotlight: Rifle Paper Co
/Most women out there (and even some men) probably know about Rifle Paper Co. Even if you don't know the name, per se, you know the art--bright and happy botanical illustrations (like the one above) from Anna Bond and her business partner/husband Nathan. The very catchy and colorful creations sparked a huge illustration trend, and gathered even more fame when florals made their way back into popularity. They've been imitated and (I daresay) downright copied all over prints and stationery and women's accessories.
Below is one of their originals:
Because I see so much of it--even though I love it--I will admit I never dug into who they were or all they had to offer ("yeah, yeah--those flower people," I thought). Until this week. An instagram post from Design Sponge (a design site you should be following if you're not) sparked my curiosity.
Y'all. They have so much cool stuff beyond what they're typically known for. Don't get me wrong--love them florals-- but check out some of the other things this all-American production duo has put out:

I would highly suggest perusing their website. So many cool things! Maybe I'm late to the game, but you other late-comers are in good company --even my husband caught a glimpse of their prints over my shoulder and said "ooh! Bookmark that page for me!" Ha.
Let us know about the cool things you find. Or maybe you've got some Rifle Paper Co. gear of your own (I've seen a lot of phone cases floating around these days).
Until next time (which, honestly, I hope is several weeks away--I'm dying to get this baby out)!
