Animals of High Moral Standing

I love these watercolor posters by R.S.Posnak that "raises the subject of anthropomorphism in a humorous and aesthetically pleasing way." The owl, among the rabbit and the butterfly, made to the list of "Animals of High Moral Standing".  

Also, check out "Animals of Low Moral Standing" print that goes with it. Both the prints are by Animalia and are available on their website.

Anthropologie: They Told Me So Dishtowel

I just spotted this new "They Told Me So" owl dishtowel by Anthropologie, designed by Ashley Longshore a New Orleans artist. It's so gorgeous that it would be a crime to use it for drying dishes. How about framing it and hanging it up on the wall?

Birdy Juice: Mats Ottdal

An adorable packaging concept for fruit juice aka "Birdy juice" by Mats Ottdal a norwegian Graphic Designer and Illustrator. He says: "Birdy Juice is a concept for fruit juice using the form of the juice carton to create wings and feet for bird characters."

After you've enjoyed the juice out of these cute boxes, don't recycle the box just yet. Unfold the top and bottom flaps on the box and give owls and penguins their feet and wings.
