So Sketchy

Cate Anevski Illustrations

Other than a hot pink Post-it reminding you to call your brother about Memorial Day plans (time to take that down), the walls of your place are devoid of, well, anything.

Spice up that institutional decor with Cate Anevski’s prints. The artist/illustrator creates totally weird-yet-adorable images using ink, watercolor, graphite, embroidery, and good old-fashioned Photoshop.

Her small, dream-like pieces run the gamut from a bulb-headed gal with swirling red braids to a mama ghost trailed by her little haunts to a serious chick with rainbow hair. The color-saturated works are whimsical and thoughtful. Kinda like you.

Signed prints cost less than $10 (original pieces go for about a Benjamin), which makes it easy to find a few you’ll love.

Leave yourself a note so you don’t forget.
