There is nothing instructional about this post, I'm afraid. Just playing around with Microsoft Paint.
The idea behind these doughnut artists came from two sources. First, THIS POSTER as found on CakeSpy. Second, a sketch somewhere online of silly, simple artist "renditions". They were not sweets, I think they were smiley faces? Or stick figures? In black and white. I don't remember what artists were represented, but I chose the biggies, so I'm sure there is crossover. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and knows where that image came from, send along and I'll link! I only caught a quick glimpse of it when web surfing, and I didn't bookmark it.
(And in defense of cookies everywhere, I chose doughnuts over cookies because I thought I could do more with them and keep them recognizable. Sorry, cookie, maybe next time.)

I have the b&w smiley face sketch on a magnet... don't kow who did it but most museum gift shops have it. I think mine came from the Art Institute of Chicago. Love your doughnuts!
ReplyDeleteLove the Van Gogh. I would totally hang a food-inspired Starry Night print in my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteAh, I knew it existed, thanks Doris! I keep googling everything I can think of, and still can't find the picture, but I'll keep hammering away.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the Picasso:)
ReplyDeleteThe Van Gogh is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteSo, so funny! I love the Van Gogh and Monet! You are so fun!!!
ReplyDeleteYou did those in PAINT???? I can't draw that well with photoshop!
ReplyDeleteI too like the van Gogh one, and the Cezanne one on its little cloth. Maybe you should do them as actual donut cookies? :)
LOVE the doughnut artists... I'm an art lover & my husband is a cop...this is pretty much a symbol of our opposite, yet integrated interests! :)
