Design Style

There is a design style that I adore, in the way of people remembering their favorite childhood stuffed animal. I connect it with the highlights magazines that were and are ever present at the Pediatrician's office, and the TV show Bewitched, and the Fifties in general. 

Today I have links to two artists the embody this style to me, one I'd very much like to emulate someday when I grow up to be a cloth designer.

This is a lovely entry about Tammis Keefe whose simple lines and colors evoke such sweet whimsy.

The second is a designer from Japan, shinzi katoh. He's also someone who uses simple lines and a limited color palette to evoke friendliness with a heavy dusting of kyoot.
