who doesn't love polka dots? since i really don't wear any kind of heel or blister-inducing shoes, i prefer to seek out cool tennis shoes. i just bought the blue eco friendly tennies by Simple here.

nate duval

i just purchased a gocco (yea!) and was looking around for even more inspiration when i ran across matt's work. i just love the flower print which is actually printed only using 3 colors and of course his little miro-like gocco doodle. check out more of matt's art at www.mattduval.com
