My first post of 2015 is one I've been saving especially - Introducing the latest work of Wilder California: Wilder Winter is the newest collection of photography prints by Jane Wilder, featuring botanical themes with a cold aesthetic. Not so long ago I featured Wilder's work on Dursk (view past post here) and was hypnotised by such a dominant pastel colour palette and her eye for capturing natural plant-life in a contemporary way. By applying additional tonal effects and adapting her imagery into an artographic form, Jane's work encourages the eye to focus upon the intricate details of the natural world that might usually go unnoticed.

Wilder Winter is Jane's second collection due to be sold on her Wilder California Etsy shop, with it's release being launched here on Dursk. Despite the distance, myself and Jane wanted to convey winter photography that encompassed our similar tastes and I'm so happy to have been a small part of this creative process. I supplied Jane with a colour palette that channeled her pastel signature style, but was altered slightly with dulled down shades for the winter months.

With the influence of the colour palette, Jane has captured the changing colours of the current Northern California winter storms and the result is a cool adaptation of on-trend botanical prints, but with a refreshing colour scheme that redefines winter greens.

The Wilder Winter Collection goes on sale today on her Etsy shop (here) and until February 1st customers can get an extra 15% off, using code word DURSK - Happy January! X

The Poster Club is a Copenhagen based webshop that merchandises prints from a hand picked selection of graphic designers, illustrators, photographers and creatives from all over the world; turning their works into statement prints, perfect for a Scandi interior.

Launched only 4 months ago, this newly formed site sells prints that are exclusive to The Poster Club, ranging from black and white graphics, bold typography, graphic illustrations and edgy photography. I've fallen hard for some of the posters; especially the truly unique, translucent photography by Kristina Dam, of plants and cacti being captured through tracing paper. There is such a somber but beautiful mood to these images; almost as if the plants are desperate to come out of the page and into focus. I'm also a sucker for a clean, simplistic bit of typography and there is so much to choose from at The Poster Club, I really love how the 'Grey' series by Playtype has a subtle darkened background for each letter. And how could I forget their marble, embossed effect posters, such a stand out, feature piece with a lovely use of 2D imitation marble.

In addition to The Poster Club's array of artistic imagery, each piece can be visualised within various frames as part of the buying process - a lovely touch. Another bonus, shipping is available worldwide and when you buy two posters, delivery is free! Safe to say that my Christmas list is already as long as my arm and hopefully Santa will make me a fully fledged member of The Poster Club.
