Sweet boy deserves a hopeful future...
(For Digitalmania, Inspired by Loui Jover)
This has been a fun few days of arting for me... down with a sinus infection...stuck in the house! I'd like to share my art with you!
The piece for the 6-word memoir (above) is based on a little Namibian boy...a member of a bushman community in southern Africa. It's done in the style of  the  Turkish surreal artist, Gurbuz Dogan Eksioglu, (I dare you to try to pronounce his entire name.) It's for the Flicker's  DIGITALMANIA online art group.
The next artist whose work Digitalmania artists are examining (and whose art I much prefer)  is from the area of  Queensland,  Australia ...talented enough to produce all forms of art... written as well as painting, sculpture, illustration, mixed media... he's art personified! His name... Loui Jover. I really enjoy looking at the work of this artist... he's new to me! Here are a few pieces I did in his style...


 
For the CREAVIL'S CHALLENGE-BLOG  and THE THREE MUSES, both calling for patterns, I offer the piece below...grab your blinders!!!


Finally, TAKE A WORD challenge blog requested art with a "sewing" theme. I love the vintagey feel of this lady on her old Singer machine...


Wishing you and yours a good, peaceful (but fun) week ahead. Please check back soon for a new posting...thanks for checking into THIS one!
 
Hugs,
abbyj

    All very strong pieces. Somehow, the nostalgia of the sewing piece appeals to me very much, although I love the graphic strength of the Loui Jover pieces, too.

    All so great, but to focus on the TAW theme, your sewing pic is so nostalgic ... To most it looks vintage, but it takes me back to my youth when my sister and I made all our own clothes on a machine like this. I like the way you have layered so that all layers show. Love it.

    A wonderful collection, Abby. Gorgeous artwork (I have already been lurking in your Photostream and have seen your most beautiful Jover pieces). Your two pieces - for Take a Word and the Three Muses are fantastic. I think I am going to sue Taluula for giving me a migraine.
