Mel Kadel for Poketo
March 20, 2009 - By Bobby Solomon - Category: Art & Illustration
A couple of weeks ago I visited Poketo headquarters for a little art show featuring a bunch of great artists, but one in particular that I was really glad to meet was Mel Kadel. I talked to her and her hubby Travis Millard for a good chunk of the night, and they’re very excellent people. So it was rad to see that Poketo released a wallet with Mel’s artwork on it, which I’m kind of in love with.
Look at all of those amazing patterns! The detail put into all of those patterns are so rad, and when I look at all the different positions of the feet below the blankets I kinda laugh. You can buy Mel’s wallet here for $20.
Update: Poketo just posted a great little interview with Mel, which you can read here.

If you've got something to say, keep it positive.I really like the detail as well. I love the fact that they alternated patterns and that some of the legs are lifted above the ground after being swept away by the blanket!
Lovely! Reminds me a little of The Point… have you seen that? It’s an animated movie from the 70s, great story. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2O3cUN8yWk
Anyone ever bought a Poketo wallet? I like so many designs I saw but I had a question. (I guess these are billfolds) Is the interior clear? One of the shots on their site shows a clear one to describe its capacity. If it is, how does the material hold up? If it isn’t some clear plastic I’m sold.
