   I think the designs are fun and clever. Way to go Yas! Don’t let the nay sayers and complainers above keep you from creating.

   Oh my, very cute, but looks like they were heavily “inspired” by Rifle Paper Co.

     Really wonderful work!!! I dont’ think that deserves a “but”. You need to branch out further than Rifle, as hand drawings have been around much longer than that. I think the designs have a similar feel but I’d peg works like Loft Life Press first http://hadleybinion.blogspot.com/2012/05/loft-life-press.html which you can still argue as original, than ones that don’t even do the typical flowery designs that Rifle is known for.

       Dear Shirley, artists are all “inspired” by what they see in the market place. In my opinion, Quill & Fox has taken their “inspiration” to the point where I thought Rifle Paper had changed their name to…Quill & Fox.
       Unfortunately, because these styles are so close a buyer would not buy both lines. I have been a victim of numerous copyright infringements and it’s exhausting to see artists and manufacturers take successful lines and make them their own.

         Great post, love the work, am very much so a fan!

         heartshoes…I know what you mean, but as a fellow stationary lad in the UK I’d have to disagree respectfully. I think it is very possible for Q&F and Rifle to have similar styles and be ok with it! Sometimes great artists with similar styles exist in the same time, and I really see that with some easy observation. Not only is the subject matter very different (Rifle often does great floral arrangements v. Q&F’s line), but I also see Q&F as a smaller business finding their own nitch in this line of business.

         I can totally understand your feelings if you’ve been a victim of infringement, but I wouldn’t go so far as to judge/accuse Yas of riffing off Rifle. Why not ask her yourself? I’ve been looking into Q&F for some time (to carry in my store in Glasgow), and am honestly more and more inclined to do so than ever. They’ve made a great reputation in the community it seems, and I’m quite impressed with the variety.

         I already buy from Anna @ Rifle, and I think I’ll be contacting Yas shortly too…
