Squint – lovely quiet things

My first stumble of the morning after the first coffee of the morning. These are lovely, nice and quiet and soothing for the mind, yet with something not quite right….a sinister dark shadow, some eerie type of thought that my tired brain cant quite get across with these words we all insist on using…

Scary Children and Ive lost a kitten somewhere

I’ve lost a kitten somewhere.

My parents are away on holiday so I am baby sitting a kitten for the week. Animals of any type are of course not allowed in the hallowed apartments in which I currently reside, so said pussy had to be smuggled in under a big duvet.

I cant find him.

He has to be in the apartment somewhere, i just cant find the little jellytot. Im sure he will surface when he requires feeding.

Anyhow to the art of todays ramble.

Is it just me or are these spooky as hell? I do adore this style of vintage illustration, the wonderful cheesyness

Recently I have had a client who has given me free reign to produce a cheesy 1930’s website in this style so I am over the moon, a breath of fresh air from the regular navy blue solicitors/accountants and angry builders.

I have had 5 coffees today so that may account for this extreme ramble. Do have a lovely evening lovely windmillers. If I had £50 I’d send you all a tshirt.

Actually I rather like the idea of burning windmill t shirts.

I’ve escaped into the office as I have managed to fill the house with smoke chargrilling some pork chops with my trusty le cruset char pan – gosh I adore that orange wonder ever so…

The first thing to greet me upon th’interweb were these wonderful images

There is a wonderful emptyness to them, rammed jammed full of happy colours, but they are so lost..

I must go and defuse the smoke before I set every alarm off in the building …Safe day windmillers

m a y a k u l e n o v i c – haunting wednesday morning

adam — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 09:41:24 +0000

Well shimmy my wednesday morning coffee. (Ive just ordered a more industrial coffee machine from amazon to manage the increased demands of late)

These paintings by Maya Kulenovic are just tip top tastic. I don’t normally like portraits, but these portraits seem to speak to me.

Gloriously dark and full of atmosphere, nightmares, are these lost souls?they all seem damaged and lost, trapped between worlds…alone, dying inside?

I simply adore them, do have a look at the artists website:

There are also some fabulous paintings of land and buildings, but its these portraits that have me captivated. I do hope you enjoy them
