a new fav artist!!!

I went to an art show a ways back with Lauren at Transitions (really I think it was at the Skatepark but, whatevs) called '99 Bottles on the Wall'. I fell completely madly obsessed in love with one of the bottles that of course was sold! I was in such a swooning tizzy that I neglected to take note of the artist's name. Der.

Luckily Lauren has some wits about her....she found out who painted that bottle I wouldn't shut up about and (as you'll see on his website) ordered a book of his prints for me as a surprise!!

The artist is: Chris Ryniak

Here's the very bottle itself. Oh, just seeing it.....I need it!!

Isn't it the very most????

Here are a few other works of his that I think are rad:

*I think Chris Ryniak has a real knack with teeth!

a thing for letters

I saw this thingy as 'bumper sticker' on my sister-in-law's facebook and just fell for it. I love letters, love the alphabet and still like reciting all of those little ditties we learned in grade school to remember English grammar. 

This is so cute, wouldn't it be fantastic LARGE, framed and on the wall??!?
