Awe Shucks

In the beginning I was obsessed with Mary-Kate and Ashley (of twin fame).
Then I began to think I was a little more classic like Jen Garner.
I am certainly not as adventurous as Lady Gaga.
Yet not as safe as Sandra Bullock.

Not quite certain where my style falls lately, I have begun to turn to one trailblazer. She is cute, smart and makes me wish my hair was still bright blonde. Bri Emery of Design Love Fest is just as darn ingenious as it gets. I want her life...and wardrobe.

See? I told you.

Mobile Gallery: Truck Art

I wish I found out about Pakistani Truck Art before anyone, an-ee-one (except of course the ones making the art...for obvious reasons). It started out as a way for drivers to draw more attention to their business and it took off from there.

I found an article from ETSY that sucked me in and now I'm hooked. These are like David Best's art cars on crack.
I also found a great blog focusing solely on the truck art and I just want to know more!

Here are some mesmerizing pictures that are I could stare at all day.

Maybe I can do this to my broken down Sentra rather than selling it?

Jealous, much?

Ever feel green with envy?
If you say "no", then you're clearly fibbing. It's easy to get a little jealous at times and sometimes it's downright great (i.e. The Jealous Curator).

This is an awesome blog to just stumble on. Practically everyday it's updated with highlights of a specific artist and why the blogger is "jealous" of them. It's really quite an ingenious idea because as artists, it's really easy to wonder why everyone else seems to better than you.

My favorite part of the blog is that every type of art is covered. One day is realism and the next is some type of collage (with everything in-between).

Within the last week I've found two artists that make my heart sing. Both are a little quirky and totally talented...my cup of tea.

Christopher Stott focuses on realistic paintings of time-tested objects, such as books and vintage suitcases. They are so true to form that you just want to reach out and grab them. Just don't get your fingers caught in the blades.

San Francisco based artist, Wendy MacNaughton, hits the Northern California art scene on the head. She's a mixture of spunk and social commentary. Her watercolors are soft and sweet but say more than you'd think.

If you were smart, then you should be so inclined to include The Jealous Curator on your blog roll.
