I just discovered the most horrible accident!  It seems that WordPress in all her annoying glory never posted this Guest Forager feature back in April!  And I just discovered the “missed schedule” post.  For shame!  So today you get a bonus post, one that should have posted oh so many moons ago.  Mucho apologies to Gab who wrote such a wonderful post!

Today’s Guest Forager is Gabriel Cabrera, whose art blog The Artful Desperado is chock full of deliciously lovely artwork as well as artfully inspired food, florals, fashion and more!  Be sure to check it out!

Hello artsy foragers!  This is Gab from The Artful Desperado.  Fancy meeting you here.

It’s no secret how much I love quirky art, and today I’ll be sharing some of that love with ya. Say hello to Gordon Wiebe and his cheerful collage illustrations!

Mr. Wiebe is a Toronto-based artist (yay Canada) whose work has been honored by the Society of Illustrators in NY and LA, among many others. He’s well known for his bold, conceptual images that are influenced by childhood memories and even some political affairs.

I love how there’s always some sort of smiley face painted in his illustrations. It’s always nice to find a happy surprise when you’re looking at art, yes?

Check out the rest of his work over here: http://gordonwiebe.com/.

Enjoy!
