Trying to play catch up a bit on my day off!  Taken this past weekend which turned out to be much more quiet than I had originally planned, but this is not a bad thing.  The weather was chilly, but not cold like it had been so I opted to just layer like mad.  A little frumpy, yes, but I was comfortable.

Art : Laurie Lipton

[La Luz - Laurie Lipton - charcoal and pencil]

Though I don't roam around on Tumblr like I used to, I have to say that it has shown me some pretty amazing art over the few years I've been on there that I may not have seen until much later.  One such artist that has stuck with me all started with the above image.   I was so pulled in to it from the subject matter, the inspiration, and the amazing amount of detail that I did an image search right away to find out who the proper artist was.  I found that it was New York based artist, Laurie Lipton.  The more I saw of her art, the more I fell in love with it.  All of these samples were done with pencil and charcoal, and the detail is just exquisite.

You may have even seen this image on a graphic t-shirt featured at All Saints awhile back.

Do you have an artist that you found by happy accident that has inspired you?
