The patterns of this Kendra Dandy artwork are just the right amount of kitsch. These adorably chic designs were created by the Philadelphia-based artist, whose alias is Bouffants & Broken Hearts. From watermelon shorts to big-haired birds, these quirky designs use bright colors, giving them the illusion that they are watercolors.
Dandy describes her style charmingly on her Facebook page as, “dark, high fashion fairy tale from under the sea and down the rabbit hole. Come to the dark side, we have candy and big hair.” With patterns like these, she is right in saying that the dark side is totally glam.
These patterns can be purchased through the website Society 6 on laptop sleeves, as art on canvas, iPhone cases and more.
