The Art of Meredith Dittmar
© Meredith Dittmar, screencap from her home page - adorable animation!
Meredith Dittmar's work appears on her website, Corporate Pig. Her site features both her adorable "My Guys" - funny little critters handmade out of brightly colored polymer clay that you can buy the original of or, for a little less dough, you can purchase a "cloned" favorite. All of them are handmade - the original guys and their clones.
© Meredith Dittmar, I believe these are four separate pieces but they were in the gallery side by side and obviously follow a theme.
Dittmar also, however, has a gallery of her artwork on the site. Her works are formed in polymer clay with backgrounds created with spraypaint and hand-drawn stencils mounted on plexiglass. Each one like a little scene taking place in some otherworld, her art takes her ability to create unusual characters much further and places them in contexts that evoke emotions and stimulate the imagination.

Fine art and cute critters collide in Dittmar's fanciful, unique work. Definitely a great site to peruse. Lots to see and lots of little lopsided smiles to brighten your day.
I also found this link to a wedding album of a friend of Dittmar's (isn't the bride just gorgeous?)- the couple had Dittmar create an adorable wedding topper for them. ALSO - another artist I featured on here previously, Trish Grantham, created the artwork that surrounded them during the ceremony! What lovely and innovative wedding ideas!

How adorable! Did you know I'd be all over this? Gonna check out those links.
ReplyDeleteOkay. I am in love with that bridal couple. And that wedding cake topper! Everything is just too cute.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW! Aren't they adorable? I thought that was such a nifty and outside-the-box way to have a wedding. And the results were so beautiful. I particularly loved her tiny little veil. At some point I'd like to put together a post about unique and unusual wedding ideas.
