Happy Friday everyone! Here is an encore from Georges Barbier. You may recall I did a post on him before but I feel he's so lovely I coudn't resist revisiting him!
Also, it was very remiss of me not to mention this before but the gorgeous high priestess of blogs, Gabbi of Felinofelice did a piece on my work earlier in the week. Her blog is all kinds of beautiful at once! ...and the lovely Christina, who owns the chatty and incredibly entertaining blog Down and Out Chic, has also a piece about my work as part of her tour of her art collection! And! A fabulous blogger I've met recently: the jet setting fashionista Miriam of Bjorn Borg : Insider's Journal has also included me in her list of blogs she likes!! Goodness me! All three blogs will have you totally mesmerized by their content, style and chutzpah!
Have a super lovely weekend all: Southern Hemisphere people try to keep warm and dry while the Northern Hemisphere people keep cool and relaxed! O.K. now back to Georges...
I totally adore the illustrations in this post, those sleek lines, exquisite details.
And I also loved Gabbi's post on your work. Gabbi rocks!

His illustrations are so stunning. Those last 3 are simply divine.

Aren't they special Tara! In my last post on Barbier I have a link to some info about him but I'm sure you could fnd out more if you googled him.
Amelia - the fireworks one is a favourite of mine too - so romantic and dreamy! Barbier was very clever at creating a mood I think!

I love George Barbier! Had a calendar with all his work too last year. Saved the prints to put up on the wall -- so snazzy!

I adore these, why couldn't I have been born in the 1920s...?

I especially love the second one, very elusive and erotic at the same time. They knew what they were doing those art deco artists. So clean.
