Maira Kalman
I came across a few cards at Anthropologie designed by Maira Kalman, and couldn’t help but enjoy their sardonic humor. Maira Kalman is a prolific writer (children’s and adult books), as well as a designer and illustrator. You have seen her work on the cover of The New Yorker. One of the cards I snagged is now hanging in my kitchen—a warning to my guests to cautiously request “deluxe.” And another bemuses [v.: to cause to have feelings of wry or tolerant amusement] from my kitchen counter as I cook! Her piece below, “Mad About the MET,” can be viewed from her site…worth a quick read. Her illustrations and language are engaging and humorous, lots of life described in just a few words. Check. Her. Out.
