Everything is better with polka-dots!



“After all, well, moon is a polka dot, sun is a polka dot, and then, the earth where we live is also a polka dot.” 
Yayoi Kusama ~ queen of the polka dot!

This felt like an appropriate collage for this summer month - colorful and playful.  I think it would be such fun to wander around this wacky landscape. would you join me??

Lately I have been attracted to polka dots. And there is an inspiring and prolific artist known for putting polka dots on most everything - herself included.  That is the amazing Yahoo Kusama.  

Click here to watch a fun video of Kusama's career from the Tate museum for Kids!!

Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese contemporary artist who works primarily in sculpture and installation, and is also active in painting, performance, video art, fashion, poetry, fiction, and other arts. Wikipedia

Yahoo Kusama was one of the prompts for the instagram
challenge that I did last year: 

to see my contribution to the challenge check out:

"The challenge is ~ to create a cup!! 
Cups represent comfort, gathering, and nourishment. 
And each prompt is a variety of favorite women artist/designers to inspire."

Lastly -  but not leastly - I have added this collage,
 'for the love of polka dots ...' 
to my @Society6 shop 
AND 
they are having a 4th of July sale!!!

(hope to add it to @redbubble soon)

“Do stuff. be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration's shove or society's kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It's all about paying attention. attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. stay eager.”
