My favorite buy of the whole Italy trip is none other than this gorgeous artwork that me and Zim fell in love with at first sight. The art is by a french illustrator, Sophie Griotto. Her illustration is really stylish and fun and we thought that it really represented who we are (well sorta, in a way). I love dogs and wanted artworks that include dogs without being tacky and this completely fits the bill. Thus, after some consideration, (It wasn't exactly cheap) we decided to buy this and painstakingly hand carried it all the way from Rome.
Guess we ain't the only one who knows how to appreciate good art. The little monster seems mesmerize with the cool chick.
Happy~Our only regret - Not buying more than one artwork. As we spotted it on the last day, we didn't have the chance to do our research on the price of the work. Thus, worried that we might be ripped off, we made the conservative decision to buy just one artwork (And again, it was pretty costly). When we were able to google the artist, we were unable to find any places in NYC that might carry her artwork and the only other website we found was a french website (and was slightly cheaper after shipping). Thus, I guess this would be the only art work of hers we will own. Still, I'm glad we took the plunge!
