Art I Heart — Naoshi

The other day, I decided budgets are for chumps and stopped by Clover to engage in the age-old art of "buying stuff that, even in the instant that you're entering your pin number, you know you're going to return." I am disturbingly good at this, people. One purchase that's a guaranteed keeper: greeting cards by Yakahama, Japan artist, Naoshi.



She uses a technique called "sunae," which, according to her site, means shiny, colorful sand. Bursting with cuteness, right? As with most of the art that really gets to me, her style suits both kids and adults suffering (or, maybe, "blessed with"?) arrested development.

See more after the jump.
