It’s time for a holiday treat. We can’t share our T-day leftovers over the internet, but we’re serving up another something special: FREE shipping on all orders in the continental US when you spend $50 or more—through this Monday, 11/28 at 11:59pm PT only! Use code YIPPEE.   

Folks who’ve been with us for a while know we rarely ever offer free shipping—we’re a super small team and take extra care packing and shipping every artwork, so the cost of shipping isn’t something we can usually cover. Consider this your once-in-a-blue-moon chance to score the satisfaction of free shipping for all the art in your cart—prints, framed prints, or objects. Just spend $50+ and enter code YIPPEE at checkout.  

This is a great opportunity to get that holiday gift list in order. Our order deadlines for guaranteed delivery for some holiday cheer are coming up—11/28 for the first night of Hanukkah and 12/5 for Christmas Eve. Orders placed after that date could still get to you in time (and we have select pieces that’ll ship with speedier service for on-sched arrival), but there won’t be any other opportunity to snag free shipping. Use YIPPEE by midnight PT on Monday, 11/28!

Daydreaming by Isabela Humphrey
8"x8" ($40) | 11"x11" ($85) | 16"x16" ($275) | 20"x20" (775) | 30"x30" ($2,650)

Isabela Humphrey’s work sings. Through deploying bold designs, electric planes of flat color, exaggerated perspectives and expressive gestures, Humphrey has created a visual language that is inviting, dynamic, and just plain fun. Daydreaming, the illustrator, painter and designer’s debut edition with 20x200, shows a larger-than-life figure dreaming larger-than-life dreams. Like a more demurely posed cousin of Rodin’s canonical sculpture The Thinker, Humphrey’s daydreamer rests her proportionately small head upon the top of her giant, flat hand. She’s framing her face while staring into space–but hers is a gaze full of purpose and determination instead of wistful escapism. It’s no wonder: female empowerment is a thematic thread that runs through most of Humphrey’s work. 

The saying goes that if you can dream it, you can do it. The artist’s exploration of, in her words, “the quietness of introspection and the power of daydreaming” truly does depict the act as one that is generative, creative, and foundational. Surrounding the piece’s central subject are abstracted nods to the natural world, which Humphrey explains as symbolizing “growth and vitality, reminding us of the connection between our own thoughts and nature around us.” After all, as ideas birthed during daydreams take root, so too do plants of all kinds. 

Humphrey, who oscillates between using physical and digital mediums in her work and has a background in fashion design, allows her different disciplines to merge and emerge in the images she creates. Daydreaming’s subject is wearing intensely bright pink and purple striped pants, and the garment is one of the first and most central elements that initially draws in the viewer. The energy behind her stripes brings to mind brainwaves, roads, or rivers, infusing motion, personality and heart into the figure’s oversized lower half. It’s almost as if ideas are radiating upwards from the ground through those pants. Of course, any designer knows that one must balance the top with the bottom, so Humphrey created her daydreamer with a broad-shouldered rectangular torso clad in a punchy marigold sweater that anchors the composition. 

The woman in Daydreaming definitely has her feet on the ground while her head is in the sky, ideating forward-thinking plans for the future. If she stood up and walked off, we’d absolutely follow.
