As seen on "Design Sponge"
Linda Plaisted
SO.
I couldn't figure out why suddenly my online shop started selling
prints like mad yesterday. I chalked it up (quite gratefully) to the
start of holiday shopping frenzy, ah but in truth one of my clients
let me know he had found my work featured on yesterday's
DESIGN SPONGE BLOG.
Every day before the holidays they are featuring "affordable art," and yesterday
added my print "What Remains" to the mix along with a link to my web
site. How nice!
Who knew that this "little" Brooklyn blog had such a BIG influence over
the latest trends in design? I've sold pieces in the last few days to
customers all over the world who had read about me on Design Sponge.
**From the web site: Design*Sponge has been featured on the cover of the New York Times' House and Garden section, The New York Times Currents Section, Newsweek, The Washington Post, The Washington Post Express, Yahoo Wire's Daily Site of the Day, Listed as one of "The Top 5 Blogs to Read" by New York Magazine, House and Garden, Home Magazine, Vanity Fair, Fast Company (Best Blogs Feature as well as a spot on their "must read" blogroll), Time Magazine's Design Issue (Top Design Blogs), Domino Magazine ("Domino Blackbook" and feature as "Sites We Love"), Metropolis Magazine online, Business Week Online, The New York Post, The Boston Globe, The San Francisco Chronicle, Elements of Living and variety of international publications including Australia's Sydney Herald.
So, a big shout out to Brooklyn. Hey- thanks Design Sponge! The babies will need new pairs of shoes (I'm pregnant with twins,) so the influx of new business is a genuine nest egg and a warm affirmation of the time I put into this work I do.
Go have a look, not only because of my work, but indeed there are some
VERY cool hand-pulled prints and gorgeous, quirky gift ideas that
really are afforable.
Instead of shopping at the mall, or (gasp!) Wal-Mart, support the arts with your holiday gift-giving this year! It can make a very real difference in the life of one creative person out there and your gift recipients will be touched to receive something so unique and thoughtful.
