Charley Harper, “An Illustrated Life” with Todd Oldham: Ammo Books

Charley Harper

These Charley Harper illustrations are unbelievably stunning. I’m waiting for Todd Oldham or another designer to turn them into textiles for fashion, home decor…you name it.

Here’s what Ammo Books has to say about this compilation of (the recently deceased) Charley Harper’s work:”delightful, graphic and often humorous illustrations of nature, animals, insects and people alike. Charley liked to say, that when he paints a bird, he doesn’t count all the feathers in the wings – he just counts the wings. Minimal realism, he called it, and his unique and precise style continues to resonate and inspire his admirers.”

This stunning book showcases his illustrations from 1950-1985. Designer Todd Oldham collaborated.

Tie this one on men: Bonnie Heart Clyde and Rhombus Wear

Tie this one on men

Here’s a great solution for your New Years outfit men. You can look dapper, neat, and distinguished while maintaining your edge and modernity. These Bonnie Heart Clyde ties are too fun. They’re hand embroidered to boot. I love the skull one. Or try this built in tie on this great shirt via Rhombus. Clever and fun. It’ll be a great conversation starter at the party and girls will be sure to come up close and check it out…surely leading to a midnight kiss.

A while back I posted about Hollenben’s “Dreams of Flying” series. They’re so fun and whimsical. I had to post the holiday card he sent me online. Happy holidays everyone!
