Szopki are elaborate Christmas cribs that are modeled on the old architecture of Cracow, Poland. Learn more here.

Klimt, Molas, Aboriginal Art and, Always, Hundertwasser

I’ve been very visually oriented lately. I’ve made a couple of little collages inspired by Hundertwasser, Molas, Australian Aboriginal Art, and Klimt.

What I particularly feel like doing is making pictures of women wearing really cool artistic clothes paired with sort of abstract, busy backgrounds. Yup, like Klimt. It’d be nice if I could think of something truly revolutionary to create, but it hasn’t happened yet.
