Love the illustration work from Zachariah O’Hora under the name Picture Systems. Zacharia is an illustrator living and working out of Narberth, PA.

I love the darling work from cleanwash. The website isn’t up and running yet but you can view a few samples of work on the blog or visit the cleanwash etsy shop!

Jim Tierney is an illustration student at the U. of Arts in Philadelphia. Sweet work man, sweet work.

Loving Philebrity.com for allowing folks to submit their very own hand drawn maps of their Philadelphia neighborhoods. View them all here.

At a recent wedding held in Philadelphia, the talented Bryn Chernoff of PaperFinger created illustrated table cards of famous landmarks throughout the city for the couple’s event.

I wasn’t sure how to title this post exactly but this is one amazing invitation. Created by Jordan Gray Creative for the musician Denison Witmer and his wife, who loves to knit. The all encompassed self-mailing invitation has two fold-outs for directions and the rsvp. Nicely done. View the high-res photos on Flickr.

High Street Market is my favorite new Etsy store from Kelly Galvin Robson. She’s from Philadelphia. And she has a blog. Her taste is way cool. ’nuff said.

P.S. Kelly, if you ever want to see some antique shops here in Reading … let me know. I’ll show you around!

How COOL is this? Tweed Ride Philadelphia was held on Saturday where all of the participants wore tweed and rode around the city. Looks like so much FUN! View many more photos on the Flickr page here.

I officially own one of these prints, but I could not resist posting about Stephanie Corfee’s watercolors. I love the type-based versions, right now there are only two that I know of but I really hope she does more!

This one above is on my wish list, but there aren’t any available right now on her Etsy store. But I would keep your eyes out and bookmarks set.

And the freeform watercolor (top image) is outstandingly beautiful, as well as the image of the girl. The one of the girl caught my eye at Hello Bluebird as well but the type won me over in an instant.

I am really excited for this event. Philagrafika 2010 is an event happening in Philadelphia starting in January which will celebrate print in contemporary art. I’m a HUGE print fan and still believe that it won’t die. The festival contends that the printed image lies at the heart of contemporary art. The event will include 300 artists at over 80 venues throughout the city and is being coined as the world’s most important print-related exposition. I’m so glad I only live an hour north of Philly, I want to see it all!

So in honor of the event, I’m going to feature the work of the artists involved in the festival in their own special posts starting with Cannonball Press. All the work in this post is from this Brooklyn-based shop offering amazing prints in black and white.
