Graphic & Web Design | Desirai Labrada

I recently realized that the majority of my purchases on Etsy have consisted of cards, pendants, and soap. It seemed strange that my shopping habits would be so limited considering the limitless variety that exists on Etsy. Thankfully, my little visit to the Trashion Trunk Show has changed that.

While there were many varied and interesting art pieces, I found myself most attracted to the clothing; So much so that I actually bought myself a shirt. Embarrassingly, I removed the tag not too long ago and have forgotten the name of the artist. (I will do my best to find her so that I can edit this post to include her name.)

When I got home that night I found myself searching Etsy for clothing. I favorited a rather long list of screen printing artists; One that surely deserves mention is Muttsy Wonder. It didn’t take long for these original hand silkscreened designs to catch my eye. My current favorite being her Blue Blossoms T-shirt (shown on the right~>).

Megan Mucci, shop owner of Muttsy Wonder and Harrilu is a full time professional that sells her items online, wholesale and at shows as well. A list of boutiques her items are currently available in, can be found at the Harrilu website.

Megan’s items seem to appeal most to those who like modern design and comfortable clothes (Ding, Ding, Ding! Me! I refuse to wear stuff that isn’t comfortable, I don’t care how good it looks). She also carries items for pets, babies, toddlers, women and men. “I strive to create things with upscale quality that have unique modern designs that are flattering and fashion-forward. I do my best to respect the customer, (while) being as friendly as I can along the way. And, have fun while I’m doing all of it.” Megan says.

“This sounds crazy — but I didn’t start screenprinting until May of 2006, right when I started Etsy. I have done graphic design and product design previously though — mostly on children’s products, so that part came naturally. The screenprinting itself I taught myself from a few books and Macguyver’ed the rest.” She confesses.

Wow! Can you believe in just a little over a year Muttsy Wonder has sold 979 items on Etsy! This doesn’t include her wholesale business or sales at shows. It’s obvious Megan’s work is a huge success and if you’ve had the pleasure of visiting her shop you know why. Mark my words, I’ll be making future purchases at Muttsy Wonder; That Blue Blossoms shirt is destined to be mine.
