Sophie Blackall has the most adorable paintings/prints. some of them are quirky, some of them are beautiful, but all of them are original and lovable. i love words and letters combined with pictures (a type of multimedia, if you will) and Blackall has it mastered. i realize "quirky" things are really popular right now, and taking that into account, i don't get a fad feeling at all when i browse through the artwork with titles like "Hairy Bearded Swimmer" and "We Shared a Bear Suit." once i've finally gotten around to re-doing my room i plan on putting at least one of her prints on my wall. Blackall's work just evokes such a cozy feeling. it gives me warm fuzzies! and i'm a big fan of warm fuzzies.
