Frida Kahlo 

I have this image of Frida Kahlo on my wall i just think that it is so beautiful and powerful, and the colours are just amazing. 

One of my most Favourite Artist, Frida Kahlo is with out doubt an inspiring and extraordinary woman and artist.  Her work is a representations of Experiences, feelings, frustrations and her making sense of the world. Her life throw so much at her most of which was challenging for her, but she always found strength in what she was faced with, and in tern created some of the most influential works of art.

"I don't paint dreams or nightmares.

I paint my own reality"

Frida Kahlo

(1907-1954)

"Born July 6, 1907 in the town of Coyoacán in Mexico, Frida Kahlo survived many difficult events in her life, including contracting polio as a child, a long recovery from a serious car accident, two failed marriages, and several miscarriages. She used these experiences, combined with strong Mexican and Native American cultural influences, to create highly personal paintings. Kahlo used personal symbolism mixed with Surrealism to express her suffering through her work. A viewer might classify her paintings as Surrealism or Magic Realism, but she considered her art to be realistic" Taken from http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/kahlo_frida.html

I tried to drown my sorrows, but the bastards learned how to swim, and now I am overwhelmed by this decent and good feeling.

Oh Comely

Oh Comely is a magazine about people and their quirks and their creativity, rather than money and what it can buy. Personally when i found it it made my heart sing with joy that there was actually something like it!

It is Beautiful and inspiring, it makes me feel impelled to make and do creative things more, to talk about it and to appreciate other like minded people more that i do.

I advise anyone who wants to feel good when they open a magazine to get this one, it is packed full of wholesome goodness for our inner selves.
