A couple of weeks ago, one of my favorite art bloggers, Geninne, posted this picture of a cute little mantis figure. It's a Mexican artform called an alebrije, a brightly painted creature that could contain features from different animals, or sometimes just a fantastically decorated version of a single animal.
It made me want to search online for more mantis alebrijes, and I did. Here are two by Pablo Lopez.
Wow those are really cool I have some mantis art but have not seen these. Love the mantis shots your camera does amazing photos I am looking it up price range after this comment I need a new camera :}
ReplyDeleteVery cool :-)
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome! I love Mexican art and have a Pinterest board on it. My home has tons of Mexican art, especially Talavera that I have gotten on my many trips to Mexico!
ReplyDeleteTry googling alebrije cactus". There's some really nice ones out there. You do Pinterest? Me too, but I haven't pinned too much yet.
