eek design


"We disregard what we've got, always chasing what we've not"
~Slovak proverb


"Fear is worse than misfortune itself"
~Slovak proverb

These gorgeous illustrations come from the lovely Erin Paisley of eek design. I have always been charmed by her drawings and other creations because everything she does just feels inherently good and romantic and honest. Does that make sense?
I love the proverbs as much as the imagery and I think i need both of these works side by side to serve as a daily reminder while I am on my little independent artist journey. Maybe I will hang them above my "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON" poster, and it will be my daily affirmation wall.

She has so much more at her etsy shop - definitely worth checking out!

Thanks to Erin for permission to post her images!

It does make sense, perfect sense. And those quotes are spot-on. Lovely!
