Whimsical Pancake Cottages

/
I recently paired up with Dan Lacey, painter of pancakes, as my US/UK Candy Swap penpal match. I'm hoping to post him some Tayto Titanic crisps- I wonder will he post me any pancakes?

I love the work he's been doing this past few weeks. Thomas Kinkade inspired pancake houses. Available on eBay now.

"This is my, large 2 by 3 foot painting of a pancake cottage, inspired by the work of the great Thomas Kinkade. I call this painting 'The Breakfast Cottage.'

This painting again has great detail and is great fun.  The painting is in acrylic on a stretched, wrap-around canvas, with the edge of the canvas painted in metallic bronze.  A delightful original, one-of-a-kind accompanyment to anyone who collects Thomas Kinkade."

If you want your child to recognise excellent graphic design & art, get them signed up to Anorak Magazine as early as possible. Then stylish fonts & doodles will be second nature.  

I came across Anorak through my Stack Magazine subscription. Where you are sent a random, aesthetically beautiful mag every month. Always a surprise, always a pleasure. ( /worldofkitsch/the-christmas-present-for-your-friend-who-has )  

This month it's www.AnorakMagazine.com and these photos do it justice more than me babbling about it.  If you want a taster, there's also a groovy, little iPhone app. You'd be forgiven for subscribing or download even if you don't have your own kids. It looks THAT cool.
