Artist Spotlight: Danny Brito

I absolutely adore the work of artist Danny Brito and I wanted to share the gorgeousness with all of you. You're welcome. This boy is one talented man. His series "At the Sock Hop" is one of my favorites ever. I drool over the vintage-inspired imagery. I found out about his Polaroid Project and knew I had to commission him to do a little polaroid of me and my boyfriend (above) for our anniversary in July. I just love it! 

It was based off of this photo we took last Valentine's Day:

And here is an image from his blog that he took of the polaroid:

Oh, and any person who has had a mustache in their logo is my favorite ever. I'm just saying.

Artist Spotlight: Veronica Aguilar

As a gigantic art lover I want to share some of my favorite artists with you occasionally on here. Hopefully you'll find them all as inspiring as I do. There is no other person I would kick this off with than Veronica Aguilar.

Let me just start by saying I am an incredibly blessed little lady to have three amazing sister-in-laws. And I mean AMAZING! My brothers mean the world to me and to see them all with equally wonderful women just fills my heart with so much joy. Veronica Aguilar is one of those three women. When I say this girl is incredibly talented that doesn't do her justice. She's got talent like Mike Tyson's got knock-outs. I am constantly in awe of what the she is capable of.

Seeing her work in person is a magical experience. I'm completely in love with the fantastical world she creates. I want to hang every piece in my house. Or better yet, I'd love to live inside her majestic works.

Without further ado, here are some of my favorite of her pieces:

And how perfect would this one be for baby bear's pirate/Peter Pan themed nursery?:

Here are two drawings she did of my family. The first is my niece and nephew and the second is my brother and sister-in-law Kristin from a picture I took at their wedding.
