I love Danna Ray’s work (as seen here and here), and I also love my friend Anna‘s charity project, The Working Proof. Naturally, put the two together and you’ve got a recipe for a melting Erin.

(p.s. 15% of the sales of Danna’s print go toward Médecins Sans Frontières.)

Two other goodies from Working Proof? Vasco Mourao and Laura Berger.

File this under ‘Shops you’ll never be able to spend less than $75 in.’ You know, after Target and before A+R. Unless you file your shops alphabetically, and in that case… eh.

Anyway, Arrow to Arrow is a new shop (soft launched last week!) from Jess Fogel, and it’s full of yum artists. Enjoy!

[p.s. the piece above is from aidan koch, a DFM favorite!]

Seriously. Who wouldn’t want a plush souvenir to remind us of just how awesome those Egyptian gods were?

$42 from Franz Tormers.

p.s. I almost didn’t post this product b/c it was on a black background. THAT is how much I distaste stuff on black backgrounds. Man.
p.p.s. I forgot to tell you — there’s a poster design competition going on at the Franz Tormers blog. Enter if you’re crafty.

You’ve heard of Working Proof, right? If not, get this:

Prints are affordable (always under $100), and each print is paired by the artist with a charity to which WP will donate 15% of each sale – creating what Working Proof believes to be a product with not just aesthetic, but social value (umm, agree!).

Anyway, it’s a good excuse to buy this Catherine Ryan piece, which I’m craving in a big, bad way right now.

Go forth and shop!
