Seimprejosefina on Etsy

This Etsy seller has an extensive collection of dolls and puppets inspired from TV shows and cartoons. These patterns are excellent! So similar to the real characters. I'm impressed with her selection too... she even has a PigPen and Franklin!

Shepard Fairey at the Warhol

Shepard Fairey: Supply & Demand
The Andy Warhol Museum
Pittsburgh, PA
October 17, 2009 - January 31, 2010

Shepard Fairey, the Los Angeles-based street artist behind the red, white, and blue Obama campaign image that swept the globe, is the subject of an exciting new exhibition organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston. The 20-year retrospective, the first solo show of the artist's work, explores the breadth of Fairey's career. In 1989 the first Andre the Giant has a posse sticker was created and the OBEY GIANT project was born. Twenty years later, Shepard Fairey has a solo retrospective exhibition at The Warhol. Within that time, Fairey has gone from artsy prankster and skateboarders’ underground hero to worldwide cultural phenomenon for his murals, fine art prints, and street art poster campaigns.

Things to covet...

Chanel Jade Nail Polish. It typically retails for $25 but is sold out on the Chanel website. Just out of curiosity I checked out the selling prices on ebay and one bottle of this Jade green is selling for over $100 a pop. Ouch! It’s hot but 100 bucks for a bottle of nail polish is a little out of my price range - even for a nail polish fiend like me.

RIP Irving Penn

A good photograph is one that communicates a fact, touches the heart, leaves the viewer a changed person for having seen it. It is, in a word, effective.
