new art by a trinity of artists whose works seep into my dreams.

to be a feather again instead of a plummet

i'm kinda obesessed with ex-pat writers even though i know all the boys get flack for being sexist etc etc. hemingway's 'a moveable feast' is my bible for when i miss france. (i spent a large, memorable chunk of time there) & fitzgerald also transports me back to the south france when i'm in need of a fix. but it's zelda fitzgerald that particulary haunts me, her tragic life as partially mirrored in 'tender is the night.' there's something about amy earle's new paper doll release that reminds me of her. . . .

out late in the enchanted wood:

the new work by amy earles is absolutely killing me. i'm a fan of both her drawings & paintings & especially love these two above. i want my whole house to be filled with her paper dolls!

although i've posted about the amazing work of amy earles before, i'm lusting over these new drawings. one of which is in the possession of fellow etsy cabinet of curiosities team member, mon petit fantome, whose work is equally enchanting.

amy earles has some lovely new work at double punch in a group show called 'we have a remedy' with another favorite, betsy walton. what i love most about her work is the strange images she invokes, often seemingly rooted in the nostalgic effect of fairy tales coupled with elements of the dark and ghostly. painted with gouache, her new work has the same delicate approach as her hinged paper dolls available to cut up and play with on her etsy shop, yet each read as a contained universe within the image.
