Farmidable

I recently saw a great Antonio López García exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. Antonio López García is a Spanish painter and sculptor. His work is very detailed, a little spooky and a lot amazing. Here are some pictures of the giant baby heads that he created, installed outside the front entrance of the Museum and here is a link to video about him and his work. Seeing the paintings in person gave me a different view of him than the video. He is meticulous but he’s also very free and loose in areas of his paintings. Something you can really only see up close.

Funny that with all the Farmidable tiles we’ve yet to do a post about tiles tiles. Well today things are a changing. We recently had the chance to visit CTM (Classic Tile Mosaic) in Little Italy/The Art Design District of San Diego. CTM has amazing “design based” tiles. So many it was hard to put the camera down. Click more to see some of the other tiles. (more…)

Happened upon some really great looking cookies in the window of Girard Gourmet while walking around La Jolla Village. Among the many great forms these cookies take are dogs, seahorses, seals, frogs, sailboats, fish, birds, owls, and commemorative La Jolla plaques. Couldn’t resist purchasing an owl cookie, and found a pretty good lemon butter cookie under all the ornamentation.

Not quite the height of authenticity, nevertheless, this “Indian Village” had much to offer:
