Ok so everyone seems to be highlighting Maira Kalman this month. See
here in Lonny Mag and
here on Design Mom. And why shouldn't they (or I)?! She's fabulous! I loved reading her illustrated columns in the New York Times (now available as books: "
The Priciples of Uncertaintly" and "
And the Pursuit of Happiness"). Illustrating the "
Elements of Style"? Brilliant. Her style (art and writing) is so direct and relatable, poignant and funny. Thank you, Maira, for you all your loveliness.
Now I'm going to have to delve into her children's books with Fiona.
Some other interesting links concerning
Maira Kalman:
Love
this article, especially the story about her mother. Just that small tidbit of information says so much about her.
She gave a
TED talk

I know! She is so freaking awesome! I loved her Ted Talks. It made me feel so much better about how random and goofy I am. I was like, well, if I can be anything at all as scatter brained as Maira, then I have got it going on. I want a whole wall done up with her illustrations!
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, Michelle. she's not afraid to appear 'imperfect' and for that, in addition to her fab work, she's definitely becoming one of my heroes. a wall of her work would be an amazingly happy sight!
