Cake! Pie! Ice Cream!HD/HP ATCs inspired by Wayne Thiebaud - Due Nov 15
You've gotta love an artist that loves cake, pie and ice cream! From Wikipedia: "Thiebaud is well known for his paintings of production line objects found in diners and cafeterias, such as pies and pastries. As a young man in Long Beach, he worked at a cafe named Mile High and Red Hot, where "Mile High" was ice cream and "Red Hot" was a hot dog.
He was associated with the Pop art painters because of his interest in objects of mass culture; however, his works, executed during the 1950s and 1960s, slightly predate the works of the classic pop artists, suggesting that Thiebaud may have had an influence on the movement. Thiebaud employed heavy pigment and exaggerated colors to depict his subjects, and the well-defined shadows characteristic of advertisements are almost always included in his work. Thiebaud was averse to labels such as "fine art" versus "commercial art" and described himself as "just an old-fashioned painter". He disliked Andy Warhol's "flat" and "mechanical" paintings and did not consider himself a pop artist."
Any way you slice it, let's share some delicious atcs. Each card should feature a theme relevant to Wayne Thiebaud's work, in your own style. Cover at least 50% of the card with your artwork.

I know he's done carnival, cats, etc but anything you might find in a diner would be fine - I love his gumball machines!
