Ukulele Headstock Art by Amy Crehore

Here is a sneak peek at some drawings from my sketchbook of some of the designs on the headstocks of ukes in my upcoming show at Thinkspace in L.A. (Feb. 13, 2009). Also, if you missed it, there is a new interview with me at Sadie Magazine . I'm wishing everyone out there safe and Happy Holidays!

Little Pierrots in the Old Days

Chicks57 has a collection of over 1,200 vintage little girl postcards on flickr. In this amazing collection I found some "little pierrots". I know that I have probably blogged about these postcards before, but they are fascinating and extremely beautiful. So have another look during the holidays:

How funny.

Little Orphan Otto

Did you know that "Little Orphan Annie" was titled "Little Orphan Otto" in the beginning? The strip started in 1924 as a "crudely drawn melodrama" by Harold Gray. Annie and her dog both have those trademark eyes... which lack pupils. link
