inspired by: andy warhol

When I say Andy Warhol, what do you think of? Marilyn? Campbell’s soup cans? Not me. One of the calligraphers and illustrators I am most inspired by is indeed Andy Warhol. He began is career in advertising, and his early work is absolutely amazing. So tactile, imperfect yet refined, playful no matter the client, and his use of color and negative space is completely intriguing. A few months ago my husband took me to the Andy Warhol Enterprises Exhibit at the Indianapolis Museum of Art and it blew my mind. Half of me wanted to stay forever, and the other half of me couldn’t get to my studio fast enough. I wish I could walk through the exhibit with all of you, but here is just a taste. Thanks, Mr. Warhol. I am so inspired by your work. xo, linds
