I’m not the design brains of this operation, but I love the stencil-y goodness that seems to be pervading design du jour.

I’m talking the clever vinyl stick-ons available at places like Apple Pie Design and the amazing artwork of Sarah Cihat, whose artwork I featured in the Denver/Boulder Onion (the article got picked up in NYC, too, whee!) and who was featured in the New York Times a few months ago for her superb eye for style.

Viva la stencil!
