Retail therapy

After my uneventful visit to the dentist's office, I found myself with no plans for the afternoon. What's a girl to do on Pay-Day Friday? Go shopping, of course!

First stop: Borders. I went in, looking for a gift for Doris, but I wasn't feeling too inspired. However, browsing the "Local Interest" (i.e. Puerto Rico) section, I discovered this book:


The cover features a detail of Félix Bonilla Norat's painting, Ritual. However, the wrong year is credited!

Bonilla Norat could not have painted this in 1995 - he died in 1992! [tsk tsk] For the record, Ritual was painted in 1961.

Going Postal ... yet again

I had no idea who was the mastermind behind the design of this The Postal Service t-shirt ...

... until I saw this recent post at happy mundane about Jim Houser. Scrolling down this interview, I came across this image:

Although the shirt does not credit Houser, there's no mistaking it's his design!

John Balossi ( 1931 - 2007 )

Maybe after I finish researching Félix Bonilla Norat, I'll move on to John Balossi.

I've purchased the following Balossi prints:
