LORELAY BOVE

If you couldn't tell, I'm currently obsessed with this graphic/playful style of artwork. So following my Mary Blair post comes Lorelay Bove! Love the fantastical, whimsy charm in her paintings.

She currently works at Disney Animation Studios.

MARY BLAIR

Some of you may know the name Mary Blair and some of you may not. But if you've ever been to "Tomorrowland" or inside the tunnel of "It's a Small World", you have definitely stumbled upon the work of this wonderful artist and illustrator. Blair created some of the earliest concept art for the Walt Disney Company including Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, and Peter Pan. Here are some of her fantastically playful illustrations that could make anyone feel like a kid again!

I am in love with these little Chinese fortune cookie change purses found via svpply. You may not be able to hold much fortune in there, but at least you'll look cute sporting this cookie :)

I can't get enough of this beautiful food photography by Anna Williams. Her color palettes are enough to evoke my palate, if you know what i mean.
I had the hardest time choosing my favorites! Check out more of her work here.

More is More with Tony Duquette

With the sun shining and spirits roaring here today in sunny LA, I decided it could not be a better day to celebrate the life of famed designer and artist, Tony Duquette.

His design work was bold and elegant; textured yet harmonious.
Tony went on to design award winning costumes for cinema, jewelry lines, and interior furnishings inspired by the world around him.

...a champion as you can see.

Totems by: Alaine Delorme

Some people are hip to carrying bags or babies on their backs, but in Shanghai, you can carry a warehouse load of things. Saves a few trips, right?
Aliane Delorme has captured this quirky balance of humans and objects in their engineering wonder. Simply beautiful!
