About Me
- Jen Parrish
- Boston area, MA, United States
- Parrish Relics is a dream come true for me. Over the years I have been lucky enough to create for museums & the entertainment industry…for romantics who daydream about Venice, obsess over flora and fauna, admire Medieval oddities, worship Pre-Raphaelite Bohemians or just enjoy a well adorned fairy tale...
He must have dreamed Gothic arches and quatrefoils.
ReplyDeleteIt always amuses and amazes me how Victorian Punch cartoons were meant to be humorous, but were works of art in and of themselves!
ReplyDeleteThis styles says so much about the humor of the day, or at least their perspective of it!!! Very beautiful. Anita
ReplyDeleteIt is a good reminder that whomever you are and whatever you do, someone won't like it!
ReplyDeletebut yes, Grace, I a agree that the satire is pretty!
