Currently Liking: Miki Sato

I found this beautiful mixed media artist at sharesomecandy.com (amazing arts website). I love this piece called "Anticipating pregnancy" (which Andrea and I are!). I just put an e-mail into Miko to see if the piece is for sale, what the dimensions are, and for how much. I'm praying that it's affordable. Then I'll just have to find the perfect place for it in our house.

St. Francis of Assisi

The other day I was flipping through a book celebrating the life of St. Francis of Assisi and found this stunning image in it. It looks to have been a block print but unfortunately I can't figure out who the artist was or what year it was made. What I love about it so much is that it isn't the typical image of Francis (i.e. him standing with birds floating around him) but instead puts a new spin on his connection to animals, even in the sea. Right now I am working on recreating this image as a large 18x24 silkscreen print. I'll post it when its finished.

Fast Food Mafia

I stumbled upon this drawing today thanks to my friend Josh's blog page. Thought it was really funny but also really well done. There are hundreds of great drawings like this on deviantart.com
