Yes, I decorate my apartment with Etsy prints of anthropomorphized animals.

I spend a lot of time wandering the internet. It usually starts while I am on the phone and need something to do with my eyes and hands while my ears and mouth are engaged. This often leads to several minutes of extatic rooting around, collecting images in a folder named ”ideas”, collecting sites in my list of favorites.
The other day, attracted by some colorful images in a Design Observer post I came upon Sheaff Ephemera. This little web museum displays a selection of vintage and antique printed matter collected over four decades by graphic designer Richard Sheaff. They are arranged by genre, or theme, each grouping prefaced by an blurb or essay that leads the visitor by the hand down the path of wonderment. Of the section entitled “People holding Fish” Sheaff says “It seems to me that they reveal something about character . . . of the holder, not the fish.”
