I was reading the new issue of O (October issue), which is great by the way and on page 62, under Live Your Best Life is an article about Maira Kalman. I don't know if I have been living under a rock or what but I can't remember having come across her work before. I know I must have. Regardless. I was instantly taken by her work.
And if you have been following along here, well you know that when I get excited about an artist I love to share.
She works in gouache. She writes. Paints New Yorker covers. She illustrates books. According to O, there is a retrospective of her art in San Francisco until the end of October. Then it si coming to LA and then to NY. I LOVE her color sense and her sense of whimsy and style.

P.S. If you have the time. DO LISTEN to these. So many good points she made. Keep working, don't think while creating.

I love discovering new artists, too, so thanks for passing them along to us. And, apparently, i have been under that same rock with you, because I didn't know about her either. Love at style, kind of folksy and graphic at the same time.
