Spring brings colorful flowers, fresh air, and an excitement for the warm weather activities to come. I’ve really gotten into the spirit of the season, so I decided to take a look at artwork featuring some spring icons.

Bright flowers just seem to say that spring is here.

This week is all about the green! With St. Patrick’s Day falling on a coveted Saturday this year, it’s the perfect week to celebrate the luck of the Irish. So, I thought I’d take a look at some fantastic designers who are showing off their Irish pride!

Irish illustrator Mandi Cromer is the talent behind this first print featuring 40 shades of green. I love that her creativity and lightheartedness shines in this piece. To check out more of her work, take a look at her Etsy shop, Designbirdie.

Valentine’s Day is often filled with expressions of love and many surprises. What else is as popular on February 14^th as boxes of chocolates or those unexpected bouquets of flowers? Engagements!

It’s the Friday before Valentine’s Day and I just couldn’t help but share some more artwork inspired by love! Here’s a few pieces that stood out to me this morning and got me in the mood to pop open a box of chocolates and candy hearts.

This design just shouts “I love you” with some sweet words and brightly bold text.

Happy Monday everyone! I thought I’d kick off the week with a look at some amazing posters by graphic designer Allan Peters. His portfolio is full of fantastic typography and a client list including Target and Nike. My favorite is the above print, which was created for Art Crank Minneapolis – a poster show for people who love biking! You can check out more of his work on his Behance page.

February came upon us quickly! With February 14th only a few heartbeats away, I decided to take a look at some artwork inspired by love and Valentine’s Day.

What else says Valentine’s day (quite literally) like candy conversation hearts? I love how these candies make for a bright and colorful subject to photograph.
