Art for Your Eyes and Mind
Artist Maira Kalman has an interesting approach and took part is a wonderful blog art/story series sponsored by The New York Times.
I feel a kinship with her, as I care about words as much as images. Her beautiful artwork is enhanced by the fanciful and thought-provoking little tales she winds around them. A well-known artist, Ms. Kalman has created numerous covers for The New Yorker.
She has also designed very successful products sold at the Museum of Modern Art, among other places, such as the umbrella with the sky on the inside. 
She has published many children's books and has another book forthcoming from her blog column called The Principles of Uncertainty, from which the image above left is taken.
At left, one of the artist's children's books — I love the title, as anyone who knows me would understand.
