The Birth Of Clam Dip

I just dug this, don't ask why.

All the way from my favorite, Craftster, Trisha Eardley has drawn what she calls The Birth Of Clam Dip. And I think she pretty much summed it right up.

C'mon, admit it, you like it, it's cute!

Trisha Eardley says... "This is a card that I made for my brother-in-law. He is obsessed with clam dip and makes a big vat of it at every family gathering. To honor him (and his beautiful bald head), I immortalized the "Birth of Clam Dip" in this card-- modeled after the famous "Birth of Venus" painting.
I used my trusty waterproof black pen and watercolors.
Notice that my brother-in-law is holding a bowl of clam dip in one hand, and a bag of Ruffles in the other... as everyone know, Ruffles are the preferred chip for eating clam dip."

Trisha's Original Inspiration

Ginette Callaway

I found this lovely woman, Ginette Callaway, on Etsy while browsing. I quite like her stuff. Visit her blog if the mood so strikes you.

Sylvia Ji

Sylvia Ji painted these... something about them I like....even though it isn't my kind of music.

"Sylvia Ji was born in 1982 in San Francisco to artistic parents. Ji’s interest in art was implanted at a very young age when she would look through her mother’s sketchbooks and watch her father paint. In her art, she explores themes of beauty, sexual provocation, and social notions of femininity juxtaposed against the dystopian reality of modern cities to create highly charged paintings of women. Some of her paintings are symbolic reflections of herself, portraits of people she knows or just nameless faces set in a landscape of fleeting beauty. She graduated with distinction in 2005 from the Academy of Art University of San Francisco with a Bachelors in illustration and already had her first ambitious and successful solo show while still in her last year of school. Since then she has been in high demand, keeping continuously engaged in an onslought of numerous shows on the West Coast. Currently, she has works on display in both San Francisco and Los Angeles galleries. Visit frequently to stay updated on future shows for this emerging and promising artist." From The Art Print.
