Fresh From The Dairy: Illustrative Art Prints

Fresh From The Dairy: Illustrative Art Prints

Owning an original artwork (the kind that’s hand-painted and numbered) from one of my favorite illustrators is something I have yet to check off my bucket list, but until that day, I can still support them in other ways. I recently found out one of my all-time favorite artists, Marloes De Vries, also sells her work through Society6, which made me realize that many other talented artists and illustrators do as well. Here are some of my favorites:

Hang in There, Baby art print by gemma correll

The Fab Four art print by Andrew Lyons

Mr. Albert art print by brutal moineau

Peter Pan art print by emilydove

Lemon Party art print by emma trithart

Let’s wander offline art print by Marloes De Vries

Party! art print by Judy Kaufmann

What to focus on art print by Marc Johns

In an ongoing effort to support independent artists from around the world, Design Milk is proud to partner with Society6 to offer The Design Milk Dairy, a special collection of Society6 artists’ work curated by Design Milk and our readers. Proceeds from the The Design Milk Dairy help us bring Design Milk to you every day.

How I Bought a Commerical Rental Property with the BRRR Strategy

I bought my 18th rental property in October of 2017 for $292,000 using the BRRR strategy (buy, repair, rent, refinance). It was a commercial building that had 0ver 7,000 square feet. The property was vacant and had been used as a dentist office and doctors office in the past. The property was for sale on the MLS for many months before I made a low offer that was accepted. I thought the property was a great deal, but I also had reservations because I had never bought a commercial property like this in the past. I ended up fixing up

Gaining New Perspectives with Society6’s Wood Wall Art

Gaining New Perspectives with Society6’s Wood Wall Art

Society6 recently launched Wood Wall Art and we love how these nine simple Baltic birch squares give wall decor a whole new perspective. They come in three sizes (3×3’, 4×4’ and 5×5’) with keyholes on the back for easy hanging. All you need to do is decide on your spacing preference between each square. That, and deciding which one of the thousands of art created by Society6’s artists and designers to purchase. Here are eight new designs that caught our eye…

Pattern Reflections: A MOO x PATTERNITY Postcard Collaboration

MOO, the online design and print company, released a collaboration with pattern aficionados PATTERNITY that’s a set of bold, beautiful postcards called Pattern Reflections. The MOO x PATTERNITY partnership was created as a way to encourage people to take a moment and reflect on a person or perhaps something that inspires them.

The collection includes five pattern-fueled designs that are patterns that are out there and impact us on a daily basis. Their hope is that you send them out to those you care about as a way to spread more kindness and good thoughts. The post cards are available in packs of 25 and in small ($21) and medium ($24) sizes.

Has My Personal House Been a Good Investment?

I bought my first house in 2003 when I was 23 years old. I was not very smart about buying the house, and I bought it during the peak of the market before the housing crash. I did not make much money on that house (I actually lost money), but I have done very well on the houses I have bought since then. I have flipped over 150 houses in my career and bought 20 rentals. Part of the reason I have done so well on my real estate investments is because of my personal residences. There is a lot

FILAMENTO: An Illuminated Sculpture Made from Glass by Mayice

FILAMENTO: An Illuminated Sculpture Made from Glass by Mayice

Madrid-based Mayice have created FILAMENTO, a hanging glass sculpture that spans just over three feet (one meter). The undulating fixture displays how light travels from end to end through concave and convex glass.

Made from a single piece of glass, the fixture’s form almost disappears when lit, revealing the filament of light that beams horizontally from each end. When the light is off, it becomes a sculptural piece of art that can be used indoors or outdoors.
