Lucy Engelman is a super talented illustrator based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I can’t get enough of the detailed drawings she creates around food, flora and fauna – three of my very favorite things. My favorite part is heading to Lucy’s blog to see some of her drawings in progress. Once her Etsy shop returns from a short hiatus, I can’t wait to add a few of her prints to my walls.
Danielle Kroll Comment
Danielle Kroll’s illustrations are playful and quirky and beautiful at that. This Brooklyn based gal is super talented with an arsenal of impressive clients under her belt including Anthropologie, Land of Nod and more.
The funky, childlike nature of many of her personal projects is what really drew me in and had me hooked from the moment I visited her site. Plus, I can’t resist when I get a peek into an artist’s sketchbook. You can visit Danielle’s site or her blog to see more!
Art + Eat : Kirra Jamison Comment
This week I am focusing on artists and illustrators and kicking it off with a super fun twist. Kirra Jamison is an Australian based artist and illustrator I’ve admired for years and she has more than just one trick up her sleeve. As I have continued to follow her art journey I am constantly in awe at everything she brings to the table, including newfound adventures in food. She’s now also an incredible food stylist and blogger over on her side project, Keke, in addition to being a guest contributor to the mouthwatering Tasty Tuesday column at The Design Files.
Keke is her food blog that she started back in 2011 while living in Tokyo. It’s a wonderful gathering of home style recipes from Kirra and her friends. Which one of these are you craving right now?

It’s Friday! The weather has made a turn for gorgeous and sunny here in Berkeley. I can’t wait for the weekend – not only is Sunday Mother’s Day but it’s also Wanderlust in the City here in San Francisco. Are any of you attending? I’ll be there yoga mat and leggings in tow!
Instead of just rounding up my favorite links, here are a few new blogs I’ve fallen head over heels with this week:
