Two posts in a day? Are you kidding? I'm worried it might give me meningitis or something. Pam Garrison (in the post about paper mache from a few minutes ago) says she was inspired by artist and illustrator Gustavo Aimar. I checked him out and omygod:
How darling is this?
First there is Gustavo Aima's flickr pages where I borrowed those images. Then there is his home blog, which shows how he works and his life in general and made me want to be adopted by him and his family. (I used to want to be adopted by Brad and Angelina, but then realized it would be wrong because I was actually physically attracted to Angelina.) and then there is the main blog, unfortunately in portugese. I think you can buy some of his original pieces here, and he has also published many books.
