Someone's Else's Home

Hey! I'm back with a new house to explore. Remember Donald and Jessica from the dreamy, artful couple post? You've seen their art, now check out their home. They recently moved in together and now have a pretty fabulous apartment filled with ton of great artwork and collectables. I had so much fun taking photos while Jessica and Donald sat and caught up with Project Runway (bummer ending, huh?)
Here are the happy couple posing for a serious portrait.

I made them take a break from Project Runway to answer some questions and draw some pictures. They offered me this Capri Sun. I think they were just being polite. I drank it in 5 seconds.

Dreamy, Artful Couple

Don't you love when the planets align and a dreamy, artful couple get together and make dreamy artful work while being a couple?

I do.

I had the pleasure of being in grad school with Jessica Robles for a year. I know I have mentioned her before. She makes beautiful work. She has a really nice illustrationy style that I would give my left hand for (I'm right-handed so that's not totally in vain.). Jessica makes lots of beautiful work that you can see here but this collection is part of her "Shoes" series. They are all lithographs on 22" x 30" paper. That means Big!



These shoes belong to a certain Donald Dixon.
Donald's comic style work is very witty and clever. Every time I see a new piece of his I always laugh. Lately he's been making a lot of work by pasting new art onto comic books. I like his use of comics and his personal commentary. See more of his work here and here.



Jessica and Donald are part of my Dreamy, Artful Couple Series. I just now decided to officially start a series. Do you know any dreamy, artful couples? Are you part of a dreamy, artful couple? Let me know!
