_________________________________________________

In an effort to find a storybook from my childhood without remembering the name or much of the cover, I've discovered a lot of cool art when searching for childrens' illustrated books in the 1980's.

In the time of I Wonder What's Under and a bit before Where the Wild Things Are, there was a book that looked to be in a 70's-80's illustration style, flat coloring (gouache or watercolor), a woman with orange wavy hair, food items (like ice cream), a very wavy style with wavy shapes... and I don't recall much else beyond that. Something about ice cream or flavors or something...? I yearn to remember!

Expression

Alone and Damaged

Abandoned cars, re-posted from a friend on Facebook.See more here.

Also, cool creepy figure art, from here.

Military Style Coats

Military-style women's coats...

More than the styles below, I like the contrast between the models, especially the flow of the one on the right.

 The picture below... Love it. The model's angles, the face, the jacket, the peek-a-boo belt, the tutu skirt... It's just missing some fingerless gloves and maybe some black hair extensions to maybe merge Madonna with Avril.

 Love the style of that cowl neck.

The jacket below I can imagine being scratchy and uncomfortable, but I just think the model's hair is adorable.

Recycled Cargo Apartments

Abstract Paintings (Teal on the Mind)

Oh, no! Not abstract!

Yes. Abstract painting. Sometimes it's about the color and shape/movement; sometimes it's texture; sometimes it's merely a psychological/emotional connection. I look at a lot of art, and I'm skulking about Etsy tonight checking out some abstract pieces...

Two. 9.4"x11.8" - $60

Three. 9"x12" - $75

Katy Perry: Supa-Style Royalty

So... Katy Perry. The word "bombshell" doesn't begin to describe her. Any time I see a cute dress, my first thought isn't, "Oh man, I would totally rock that"-- it's "How amazing would Katy Perry look in that?"
While I'm going through my bizarre gumball-dispensing machine fad, I'm staring at that dress on Ms. Perry's perfect body and appreciating the fact that, yes indeed, that mini-dress exists, and it is being displayed properly.

Also, I need to point out the rockabilly-style high ponytail. Yep. She rocks that, too. Perhaps even better than Fergie.
