Win $50 worth of awesome art from CAPow!

I absolutely adore Crystal's art from CAPow (her shop name reminds me of something a super hero would scream out when he's round house kicking some bad dude in the face, so she won me over with that alone)

She's a fellow graphic designer who has a great sense of typography skills. I was really drawn to her state typography print because she actually took the time to fit in all the towns and counties in that state! Can you say patience?


Take it away Crystal :)

The CAPow! Shop started off selling handmade wallets. Finding the sewing more time consuming and less fun, I decided to list some prints in the shop based off of art school projects from my Graphic Design days. These prints were well received and I continued to list art and photography in the shop, but things really started to take off after one fateful trip to Walmart. I had decided to pick up some candy hearts to photograph for the shop and while standing in line to checkout an atlas caught my eye. This gave me the idea for the Hometown Hearts series and the rest is history!
 
Crystal has spent time in Boston MA, Brooklyn NY, and currently lives in a 120 year old house in Troy NY with her husband Mike, two cats, and a bulldog pug mix named Emmett. She has earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Visual and Media Art from Emerson College as well as a degree in Graphic Design from Sage College.







Thank you Crystal!

ITS HERE IT HERE ITS HERE!

IT'S HERE IT'S HERE IT'S HEEEEEREEEEE

(yes cap-locks and obnoxious use of vowels was totally necessary) (my apologies to every english teacher out there whose left eyeball just started to twitch uncontrollably) (the twitching will wear off in about 5 hours, 6 hours TOPS. Promise)


The Yellow Heart Art Spring 2013 Collection is now large and in charge. If I were a teenage boy selling snacks at a baseball game I would be running up and down the stadiums yelling "GETCHA PRINTS, STAMPS, PLUSHES & JOURNAL OVAH HEA!"

Oh, you saw the word "Journals" didn't you? Yes, its true, we added journals to our shop! BUT this is just a "soft launch" for now. I only created one design in limited quantities to see if you all would love 'em or leave 'em. Here is how i am planning to use our new journals:

• Since its small enough to place in my purse I'd carry it on me and make note of all the fun things that happened to me through out the day, then look  back on my year-o-awesome when the journal was filled up.

• Leave it by my night stand and jot down any gnarly dreams that happened to me that night

• Whip it out every time I heard "…Hold Please" while on the phone and then spend the next 5 minutes of listening to an instrumental version of Michael Jacksons "Beat It" doodling in my book.

• Use it as a mini scrapbook to keep track of fun moments and memories. Its going to be my "catch all" for all my movie ticket stubs, concert tickets, photos and other mini trinkets.

Our prints got a bit of a facelift too! I still kept our signature "quirky" prints and teamed them up with some motivational ones as well.



The popular "Happy Mail Day" stamp now comes in a different design as well! The square format is perfect for smaller letters and packages.

(pssst awesome card by Julie Ann Art found here)

Know someone whose celebrating a birthday? Our newest mini cupcake plush set would make a perfect gift!
