fact: picasso’s ‘la fille de l’artiste a deux ans et demi avec un bateau’ attracted a bid of $12.25 million at a recent auction.

or what about this one: ‘femme au chapeau,’ which formerly belonged to julian schnabel and was sold for – wait for it –
$7.7 million.

i’m not hugely into tattoo’s unless they’re old school sailor jerry style but i’ve gotta confess, i’m definitely into the idea of having a “delinlee delovely” champagne bottle permanently popping on my arm.

thanks to SARAH i just discovered the super-excellent french artist jean-philippe delhomme was actually in australia during fashion week sketching undercover. check his blog HERE for laughs aplenty. this guy is absolutely in my all-time top ten dream portrait artist listing and seeing his interpretations, especially this one below of andy spade, really makes the mind-boggle. everyone needs a bit of J.P.D in their world, especially this week i think. enjoy!!!
