If you’re a regular reader of the ‘buds, then you know that Karen O’Leary packs legitimate wow-factor in her work. Check out the “oh yes she did” post from a little ago for a refresher.
Or don’t – and just go window shopping in Karen’s Etsy shop, Studio K. There are some new goodies up here and if you hustle a bit, there’s still time to order in time for Christmas.
In particular, Karen has a new line of pen and paper prints of different city street maps. Manhattan ($80) is above; Paris ($120), DC ($35) and Boston diptych ($55) pictured below).
She also has more cities in her knife + paper series, which are impressive endurance pieces definitely worth checking out!

That’s pretty amazing. I’ve noticed a lot of designs are based on maps lately, which you can never go wrong (literally) with that. Cool post, thanks!
