French Kitty

French Kitty
Fashion brand by Mighty Fine

“French Kitty represents a lifestyle. She is a jet-setter, a lover of luxury and glamour, she is a classic beauty with a certain sensuality: Audrey Hepburn meets Bridget Bardot,” says Justin Watson, marketing director for Mighty Fine.

"French Kitty—our premier fashion brand targeting females ages 18 to 24. French Kitty is a stylish Manhattan feline, with her own sense of style and superb taste in fashion. She is enamored with the French lifestyle, and often travels to Paris to indulge in the culture, cuisine, and, of course, haute couture. The French Kitty business has found its home in women's fashion collections and accessories."

I came across Charles Kaufman's art a few weeks ago via his Facebook fan page. I love his bold style. It has certainly inspired me to loosen up with my own painting. His site has close up images of his work as well as a video of the artist at work.

Walls Dinosaur Magicards

UK meat company Wall's Sausages put out these dinosaur cards in the mid 1970's. Each card came attached to a pack of frozen skinless sausages. I remember collecting them and being fascinated that whatever order the cards were placed in they always formed a seamless dinosaur panorama. Hours of fun!
