Cute Day in Italy
September 14, 2013
Inspirational Art
We’re back to Western Europe today with something lighthearted and fun. Over in Italy, Dorothée Vantorre creates these unusual but irresistibly cute creatures, along with other stylized creatures, graphic jewelry, and further adorable manifestations of her imagination.
Dorothee is getting all kinds of attention in the fashion world, as evidenced by the magazine pages she’s posted on her Flickr site. I just keep going back to the pink-lidded, sleepy, weeble-wooble-like faces. I might have some kind of affinity for hem and their tired but content looks. Have fun perusing her Flickr photostream and her website this weekend.
There is no Pink!

Ponderings
Since this was a week of curiosities, I thought instead of a quote to get you pondering on this fine Sunday, I’d share a bit of science I find rather interesting. This is not as useful for an artist as one might hope, but it is about color, and a highly favored one at that. And its just fascinating, the way the mind and eye work.

Crazy, right? Well, pink is still there for us to create with. It just now holds a bit of a special place in my mind, especially now that I know it’s all in my head!
