Succumbing to Temptation...



For a while now I have been following the blog of Carolyn Gallo. I just love her work especially her Frida series. It is a series of fun painted portraits of the artist Frida Kahlo. One of the portraits is called Frida has an iPod and is (obviously) Frida listening to an iPod. Now, iPods didn't exist during Frida's time but if Frida were alive now I know she would have one and love it just as much as I love mine.

Carolyn has in her Cafe Press Shop and Zazzle Shop quite a few different, very cool items that you can get printed with her art including her Frida paintings. So when Carolyn blogged about her updated the Cafe Press shop, I went looking for Frida has an iPod items, specifically a journal. She didn't have one in her shop but was kind enough to add it and I bought one to add to my journal collection which you can read about here.

I finally received my journal in the mail the other day and let me tell you it's even better in person! The colors are really vibrant and I love the fact that you can see all the brush strokes! It's a great item and I am glad to support a fellow artist by buying something from her shop that inspires me to be creative!

Go check out Carloyn's blog and stores... you won't be disappointed!
