Picture of the Week

Yesterday I was looking at vintage circus posters for inspiration for my new business card (it didn't end up looking very circus-y though) and found some delightful images, here's one of my faves.

Tim Walker in British Vogue

I bought April's British Vogue the other day and I did it for the spreads (and I'm not talking jam and peanut butter) one in particular appealed to my kooky sensibilities, photographer Tim Walker did an awesome job.

 What's up with that umbrella, how is it even staying up there, and why? (Those are the big questions).

 I like the dollishness of this one, though it has nothing on the next one.

 Barbie gone wrong. It's amazing how unreal and, yes, all made out of plastic she looks behind that bubble.

  Patron Goddess of Clowns. Love it. This one was actually a two pager but my scanner wasn't big enough. The other page had a big parrot on it, which you can see in another shot further down.

 This ones prettier than the others with the ruffly top and pink smoke, that combined with the surrealist setting is what makes it for me.

 Another doll.

And here's that parrot, what a beauty.

This isn't the entire spread but it's my faves, hope you like them too.

Jesters Jokers Clowns and Fools

Need I say more...

Victoria Frances from her 2011 Calendar (http://www.victoriafrances.es/).

Harlequin 1 (number 2 is just as good) by Emma Leonard aka belafontebunsa from Melbourne (http://www.etsy.com/shop/belafontesbunsa).

Harlequin and Pierrot by Andre Derain (1924).

There’s something surreal about this painting, and those faces are so eerie.



Joker from Playing Card Series by Connie Lim (http://connielim.com/illustration.html).

Love this; she also has illustrations of the various queens, aces and some other cards which are all just as stunning.

Members of the House of Mirth by Paul Kidby. This picture is from The Art of Discworld and is based on/inspired by stories by Terry Pratchett.

There’s something inherently odd about clowns, if you disagree look up.

Tears of a Clown by the talented Brisbane (yes Brisbane, not Melbourne, Brisbane) artist/illustrator Courtney Brims.
