Little Lotta by Farel Dalrymple

Farel Dalrymple is an illustrator whose work I first noticed in the Marvel Comics book Omega: The Unknown and DC's Bizarro World.

When I saw that Farel was selling original art in his Etsy store I thought I would take a chance and commission a new Little Lotta piece. Etsy has a really great function where they help facilitate a conversation between you and an artist or seller for custom pieces. Within just a few days Farel had accepted my request and I had given him my idea, which was to have Lotta wearing and eating a Carmen Miranda style hat.

Remember her?


Carmen Miranda and her fruity hat!

 Well, Farel didn't disappoint, his Little Lotta is spot on, from the shoes to the skirt to her extra round middle! And of course, the fruit on the hat in incredible!

Many thanks to Farel for this great new addition to my collection!
