My Mississippi friend Tim Cook has quickly developed an incredible collection of work as a young designer. I recently got to see his face at this year's Renegade Craft Fair here in Austin. Check out what he's been up to!

Fresh From the Oven: Steph Davlantes

Contributor post by Will Bryant

Steph Davlantes is a recent graduate of the University of Florida and currently working here in Austin, TX. After settling down here in Texas I quickly became friends with her and her boyfriend Blake Suarez.

Steph's work is thoughtful, fun, and often colorful. As a young designer she's got her sights set on making a difference through producing meaningful work. Here's a peak at some of my favorite pieces!

Lovely work coming from Scotland student Lauren Gentry. She is currently studying at the Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design. Her illustration portfolio is filled with textural, thoughtful, and playful pieces comprised of wonderful color palettes. Check her out!

Loretta Flower

Contributor post by Will Bryant

My friend Mary Kathryn is a young lady with style and ambition. She recently started her on own floral design studio called Loretta Flower.

The name Loretta Flower comes from her favorite Townes Van Zandt song, Loretta.

Currently she works out of a studio in her house in south Austin, but is hoping to open a shop/studio of some sort in 2012.

Miss Mary Kathryn creates arrangements/bouquets/garlands/you name its for weddings and events, as well as weekly arrangements for many businesses here in town (Congress, East Side Showroom, Hotel St Cecilia). You can purchase her dried arrangements at one of my favorite shops in town, Spartan and of course you could get your very own custom arrangement delivered to your door!

Quite Unique Feature Post

Contributor post by Will Bryant

Quite Unique is a new daily deals site that features handmade products from all types of artists and crafters. Each day you might just find something rad at a discount price on the site. Some recent items include organic coffee, cupcake ones, Tie Your Shoes Poster, Lil' Guy Neckties, letterpress prints, and baby flash cards (be sure to check out their past deals section as some of these are still available).

It just so happens that my desk neighbor here at Public School is the curator and partner of Quite Unique. Does this make me biased? Perhaps, it could also be the fact that Cody Haltom has been cooking up designs for the site as well.

Regardless, today several of my prints are featured on their latest installment of the site, called the Pop Up Shop. This features several products from one artist and is separate from their Daily Deal.

This is a great way to engage an entirely new demographic as well as empty your flat files/stockroom of older work. If you're interested in selling your work, give em a shout!

On top of that he's a founding member of Public School and the main man behind the identity. Cody has a playful, yet critical, approach to his work. He's known for spending hours upon hours tweaking the smallest detail, which has become a game in the studio. Check out some of his latest pieces!
