bird trends come and go, but i’ll always have a soft spot for birds that cheer me up in expected ways. on top, this gorgeous bird drawing from london artist michael k chapman is totally calling my name. and with a reasonable pricetag like $20, i might need to heed that call (though i’m fantasizing about having a giant version of this in my living room. something really large scale like 4×4 feet. though that might be a whole lotta bird…)

and these adorable charley harper-esque bird iphone wallpapers (via miss amy ruppel) are too cute for words. they might make me consider switching out the photo i currently have from our first married-couple brunch in charleston. mmm…maybe not. but when i’m ready one day, i’ll have these guys downloaded and ready to go. if you’re ready to use them, click here to download the full set.

last but not least, i can’t get enough of this incredible dwr window created by artist alex merto. i’ve walked past it twice now and each time i linger a little longer. if you’re in the nyc area be sure to stroll by the soho dwr to check it out. click here for more info on alex’s work.
