A Merry Christmas to you...

Can't believe it's nearly here -  time to break out some seasonal piccies.  

I do love the beautiful work of the artist and designer known as Erté.  Born in Russia but moving to Paris in the early 1900s, he became known for his stylish visuals in many fields - not just illustration but also fashion, jewellery, theatrical set and costume design, and interior decoration.  What a talented man.  Seems quite a character too, if you ever get chance to read more about him.

So here are a few of his gorgeous Christmas designs  - such fantastic graphic style...   

Wishing you the best one possible in these crappy old times and here's to better days for everyone 'soon'....






And here's the man himself (looking not unlike Dave Gahan / Marc Almond!)


Thanks as always

    1. Thanks Brian, yes, all fine here and enjoying a little break from work - hope yours was as good as could possibly be too.
      I found some other photos of Erté too in which he looks absolutely wonderfully as camp as ever!
