If you have the Vine app, follow Jayadeva, who recreates classic artwork with a pop culture spin. He sent me this Yo Gabba Gabba version of Picasso's The Old Guitarist. Love it framed with an Ikea blue frame.

I haven't blogged all week, probably the longest time between blog posts since The World of Kitsch began. As you know my health is pretty ridiculous, but I made it through the whole day of my brother's beautiful wedding last Wednesday, and now I'm bedridden. Like proper, old person, bedridden. I can't even get up and sit on the sofa with my husband. I have a backlog of products and posts to get through, so if you are a PR checking up on a post, fire me and email and I'll let you know where I am with things (see 'work with' page).
Okay, onto The Goon Holler Handbook then. I'm not sure how I found Tooba on Vine, but I instantly loved the big, goofy monster, and it made sense when I found out his being has a lot to do with Parker Jacobs, part of the team that created Yo Gabba Gabba.
I've a link to my own Vine in the links section above now, along with Instagram and the like, and if you check out my likes you'll find the Goon Holler Vine profile pretty quickly.
Anyway, here's why you should buy The Goon Holler Handbook. I'm sold.
I won @Ben_Cameron's Twitter competition this week to win these cool, hand drawn illustrations. Check out his work at www.StrangePaul.com
A very important part of the books were James L Mathewuse's beautiful artwork of the Wakefield sisters. It's reminiscent of Louis Shabner or J H Lynch and I would adore to have one in my collection.
