Recently I found myself drawn to things related to animals.  Blame it on the Animal Planet channel.  There are so many animal species out there and many of them are simply adorable.  I really enjoy watching how they nurture the young.  Motherly instinct kicking in!

I am curiously attracted to Marisa Haedike’s art with a child like innocence about it.  To me her art reflects gentle love, frienship, hope and calmness.  You can get the art prints on her Etsy page.

Went to the Art Centre for the “Banksy robs Hong Kong” exhibition. I like the nostalgic stencil style, and there’s always a sense of humor in his works. Check out the official website.

and this one is so cool (from his website):

I was ordering some books at Amazon.com and hit my wishlist button. There I saw a book about a guy called Wayne Thiebaud and I had zero clue how this book got into my wishlist. The book cover does look quite welcoming with a cake painting on it. Sometimes I look at cakes and they are like tiny pieces of art. So cute with nice delicate colors. Then I looked at one of his cake paintings more closely and noticed the cream actually looked like cream. It looks to me that the painter dragged a bunch of ivory paint with a painting knife to achieve that effect. Thiebaud’s art doesn’t look deep to me…they are more about simple joy in life, or maybe some experimentation with forms.  Yummy!
