I've been a Flickr member for almost 5 years now, and at one time I was even a "Professional Member" positing tons of pictures and being really active in commenting and posting in groups. While I haven't had the time to keep up with that, I still <3 Flickr for the wonderful images I can find to narrative my inner worlds.
Looking through my Favorites is one of my favorite things to do!
Lately I've been using my favorites to store/save pictures that I'd like to repurpose into Kitsch! art. I can't use half of what I've saved, but would still like to share them to show my aesthetic sensibilities. To find pictures, I have my Contacts, many of whom post pictures daily, and also go through other Groups that bring together similar pictures.
This bring me to: Flickr Favorite Mondays!
Today my Flickr Favorite is going to be an undated Walter Martin Baumhofer illustration from Sheepback.Cabin that I found yesterday.
I love the sexy Norman Rockwell-esque style and the confident, glowing redhead working on her own agenda. I can't think of anyway to incorporate this into an art piece because on its own it tells a powerful story that needs no augmentation.
