"STELLA!!" —Elaine
I am always a little torn when something I really like whether it be a hole in the wall restaurant, some unknown designer, a yet-to-be discovered artist, or some street musician strikes it big. Part of me is ecstatic that these budding artists or businesses are finally getting some well-deserved recognition, yet there is always a small part of me that feels a slight tinge of sadness and fear that these people will become so big, that what was once so special about them becomes an adulterated or worse, watered down imitation of the original.
Despite the looming threat of mass popularity, some things are just too good not to share. With that in mind I introduce you to, Stella im Hultberg. According to her online bio, Stella is a painter and drawer living in New York City with a background in industrial and toy design and a penchant for hunting down the perfect cupcake.
I actually discovered Stella a while back and always had the intention of purchasing one of her beautifully feminine prints, but it looks like I was not alone in recognizing her talents because most of her prints are now SOLD OUT. Fear not. New limited edition prints will be available at Art Star and through some galleries like thinkspace gallery.
If prints aren’t really your thing, she also has shirts, mirrors, and iPod and laptop skins available. The laptop skins are so lovely that I’m tempted to end my lasting relationship with PCs and pick up a MacBook.
