4 | Floral Design by Marisa Competello (via The Line): “After a decade working in the fashion industry, Marisa Competello sought a fresh beginning. Rather than agonizing over her new path, she made a straightforward decision and gave in to a natural attraction. “As my new medium,” she recounts, “I chose flowers.” Specifically, she began to pursue the art of flower arranging, known formally as the traditional Japanese practice of ikebana.” Gorgeous editorial.

5 | Anthony Burrill: graphic artist and designer Anthony Burrill tells about his numerous Etsy “WORK HARD & BE NICE TO PEOPLE” poster rip-offs: “The weird thing is I’ve never joined Etsy, I’ve never sold any of my prints there. Yet there’s lots of my work to be seen there. In fact there are currently almost 100 versions of my print Work Hard & be Nice to People” on the site, unfortunately none of them are by me. The quality varies amongst the versions I’ve “inspired”, some stick to the same type layout I used, substituting the beautiful letterpress type of the original for a default font straight out of a Word document template. Others take a more calligraphic approach and a freestyle treatment of the layout”. That’s what happens on the web. Copycats.
