I'm so in love with the art of Mark Powell. He draws with a Biro pen on old envelopes and other ephemera. You can see more of this work on his website.

Thanks to Cinnamon, L.W.A. member and the maker of our amazing bags, for the Twitter tip-off. Do you have a suggestion for the site? You can email or tweet it, and you can also, you know, write us a letter to our Chicago headquarters. The address is at the sidebar.
