Frida and Me.



I recently joined in on an online art project on tumblr.

Independent illustration and image maker With Your Hands have built an alter for Frida Kahlo and asks that you too pay your respects.

This on-going healthy obsession with Frida has been strengthened by a recent trip to Mehico City by illustrator and come what make Amanda Wayne.

Her hands were certainly busy on their return producing a stop motion animation set in a traditional Mexican cigar box, this in itself a shrine to the colourful country.

You can watch the short film, inspired by 'Between Going and Staying' by poet Octavio Paz, who won the nobel literature prize in 1990...just click this.
