I saw this poster by James Rizzi in a store window in New York City recently. I asked the store owner if I could take a photo so I could make a quilt like it. He looked like he'd never heard that request before! But he said okay. There's something kind of Anna Williams-ish about this. What do you think?
Thanks, Ellen, for telling me the name of the poster artist.
That's a great idea. Maybe you should add a little king kong atop one of the buildings :)
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm a new follower. I'm currently in the process of sewing my first quilt (by myself...first one ever was with my grandma when I was 12 years old!)
ReplyDeleteI hope you follow me back, I would LOVE some feedback on my progress!
Thanks!

Hi Karen, I think it's a poster of James Rizzi's art. His style is great for quilts, full of color and joy.
ReplyDeleteMakes me smile every time I see something of his work. In Germany we had had a stamp collection two years ago. The letters were much faster ;-)
Have a nice day, ellen
If you didn't say it was a poster I would have thought it was already a quilt. Fun and fantastic. Can't wait to see your quilt version. Love the smiling faces on the buildings.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful and would make a wonderful quilt.
ReplyDeleteBut with all the talk about copyrights on like every forum coming and going the last couple weeks don't you need permission from the artist? I'm not trying to start anything but since the McCalls Sep/Oct copyright hit the stands lot of forums are discussing.
You're right, it is sort of Anna Williamsish. It would make a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteKaren,
ReplyDeleteIt always brings a smile on my face.. when I see few ideas floating in various heads at the same time!
I think it will make a great quilt and definitely quite like Anna Williams' style.
fabulous inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow, I look forward to seeing that quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove the faces on the buildings!! It'll make a wonderful quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove this and I think this will be a great quilt. You must show us when you are done! Steph
ReplyDeletelove this idea! I get inspired by pictures and shapes too! I've been doing hexagons lately and see them everywhere!
ReplyDeleteLove it. I, too, thought it was already in quilt form. Can't wait to see it all fabriqued.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the permission topic: If I was going to make a quilt that looked a lot like this poster, I would ask for permission. However, I'm just using this for inspiration, a jumping off place. My quilt will probably look significantly different.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ellen, for telling me this poster is the work of James Rizzi. I'll add that to the post.
