a shameless plug for my friends.
PaperCut Industries
Paper Cut Industries is a small stationery and design studio located in Long Beach, California. Owned and run by Monica Majors, a designer by trade, Paper Cut Industries' designs are unique, modern, and are customized for each customer to create the perfect stationery set. Paper Cut Industries strives to connect the beautiful functionality of product and design with the hip and urban style of modern life.
More importantly, Monica is the shit. And she designed my buttons!

Also.. my day job.
Cake Spy
Seattle based Jessie Olson creates endearing (and hilarious!) pastry themed art. My favorites: Dairy Love and Hipster Baked Goods on the Subway.

Adam Balbo
All you need to know is that he's played in multi-colored leggings.
And, oh yeah, he's pretty talented.
