Dans son Artbook "Beautiful Nightmares" paru aux Editions Venusdea, Nicoletta Ceccoli emporte le lecteur vers une terre où des personnages de contes de fées évoluent en plein surrélsme et frôlent l'Art des peintures Flamandes du XVIème siècle, un endroit où Blanche-Neige et Alice deviennent poupées déjantées du Pays des Merveilles et vivent dans une forêt de confiseries. Je me suis empressée d'avoir dans ma bibliothèque ce petit bijou de livre. J'avais découvert l'Art de Nicoleta Ciccoli par une carte d'anniversaire. "Lollipopland" - Acrylique sur papier. On remarque nettement la passion de Nicoleta Ceccoli pour les contes et pour les livres d'images. La publication de ses premières oeuvres remonte à 1997. Depuis lors, elle a illustré des livres en Italie, au Royaume-Uni et aux USA. Après avoir exposé sept fois son travail au Salon du Livre Jeunesse de Bologne, Nicoleta Ciccoli a reçu de nombreuses récompenses dont le prix Andersen pour le meilleur illustrateur italien en 2001, la Médaille d'Argent de la Société des Illustrateurs à New York en 2006, et quatre fois la Récompense d'Excellence des Arts de la Communication. L'artiste vit actuellement, en qualité d'illustratrice à plein temps, dans la République de Saint-Marino en Italie.

Chéri Hérouard (1881-1961) was a French artist known for his numerous illustrations for the magazine La Vie Parisienne. Here are some of my favorite of his works - they're sometimes humorous, often sentimental, and always whimsical! Sorry for the watermark, it was the only version I could find of this with high resolution! That Santa Clause lurking in the corner is more than a little creepy, but everything is lovely. The Charleston dance Mmm, I love her coat and muff!! "The Season of Nests - An Error!" The Revenge of Eve / Eve's Revenge - Emily P.S - On a totally unrelated note, Gidget is on TCM this Sunday at 12 pm noon! Released in 1959, this is way past the era I usually watch in old films, but this one is a gem. Gracie introduced me to it senior year of high school (she also watched the Gidget spin-off TV show when she was a kid) and boy am I glad! I find it very charming and heartwarming, plus, Sandra Dee is just adorable! Give it a watch if you haven't already! A candid of Sandra Dee on the set of Gidget.

I was more or less inactive in Postcrossing for about 3-4 years and made another so-called comeback last February. It didn't take long to notice that really, really many people were asking for "Inge Löök" or "grannies by Inge Löök" in their profiles and wishlists. I had no idea of what they were talking about, so I had to find out, of course. Inge Löök was born 1951 in Helsinki, the capital of Finland. Her best-known works (at least within Postcrossing) are probably the "old ladies" or "grannies" which are represented in these postcards. I am not sure of how many different cards there are painted by Löök, but it must be dozens... Because after having find out who is Inge Löök and what kind of cards she paints, I went through my own collection and yes, indeed - I already had a couple of her cards! But they were all really old (5 years or more). Besides the "old ladies", Löök also paints cards related to gardening. These seem to be more rare than grannies - at least I've seen the garden/nature related cards only in one shop in Tampere, while the grannies can be found pretty much in every store selling postcards. Inge Löök has also painted some (older) Christmas cards - I remember that my great-granny used to use these cards, and I "inherited" some blank cards from her after she passed away. These can still be found in charity shops, flea markets and such places: I have to say that I didn't really like the "old ladies" when I first saw them and wasn't really sure why they were so amazingly popular in Postcrossing. But now, after having sent approximately 40 of them to different people all over the world, I think I've understood their allure; the use of colors, the humor, the feeling the cards have... They are pretty nice, actually! Or what would be your judgement? Are you a collector yourself? Read more about Inge Löök and her works in her official homepage.
