Keep Calm & Carry On

We've all seen the ubiquitous sign made so popular these days but somehow, when Maira Kalman paints it, the charm quotient is instantly upped. Known for her New Yorker covers, childrens book illustrations and most recently, The Principles of Uncertainty, she captures a playfulness that is  both captivating and harder than it looks. Trust me, I spend 6 months in private painting classes doing just that...painting like a talented child with a grownup mind! My respect for Maira Kalman doubled when i realized a cupcake rendered in oil paint is a mighty task indeed. My art crush continues and only deepens now that she has published a new book, another coffee table delight to thumb through for inspiration.
