Welcome! I am Kathy McGraw of KMG, a graphic designer, east coast gal transplanted to beautiful southern California/ San Diego. This is some of what inspires me. I like to think of it as a mix of west coast bohemian and east coast folk meets Mumbai meets Paris. I'm drawn to eclectic hand done looks with lots of prints and texture, particularly Indian prints and French style. I love branding, packaging, hand lettering, hand printed designs, block printing, screen printing, letterpress and illustration...

When I discovered Lauren Bishop from the UK, I was really excited by her use of silhouettes and patterns. I can see some similar influences in my own design… Be it a coincidence or something unconscious, I am not sure… but I truly love what she does…
Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 08:31PM I am really loving the work done by Leah Duncan of Austin Texas. You can find some of her prints here in her Etsy stop. Leah worked as a graphic designer for advertising firms and silk-printing companies. She is inspired by her native american roots, and creates a world where folk meets modern. A woman after my own heart!
