"Hero Piece"


So lately, after much goading, I've been watching that 2009-2010 television series, Dollhouse. I'm really enjoying it! Even if it is kind of the poor man's Alias. There is an episode where they do the back-story of one of the dolls, Sierra, played by the ethereal Dichen Lachman. Without going into too much detail, Sierra (or rather, Priya--her real name) is an artist who sells her paintings on Venice Beach. She is commissioned by the douche-bag who played Billy in Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion to do a large piece for him as his way of trying to get into her pants. 

Anyway, none of this really has anything to do with this beautiful painting other than that it was the medium through which I discovered it. The true artist is a woman called Brooke Reidt and I wish to God that she had prints available for less than $180! Because I am totally in love with her work. The painting featured on Dollhouse is called "Hero Piece" and I just love the lines, and the colors, and the depth. It's a bit bittersweet to me. Like rebirth.

Can I get a dress in this print?

(*Update: I totally bought it)

  1. UPDATE: I just got my tax return and all I could think about was this print. So I bought it. No regrets!
