The Rural Modernist: Inspiration: Genevieve Gauckler

booooooom genevieve gauckler illustration art artist

I'm digging Geneviève Gauckler's playful/happy/trippy/spooky (poopy?) aesthetic and her color combinations are to die for. When asked about her formative influences, she sites an early childhood fascination with the colorful packaging on her favorite breakfast cereals and the title sequence of her favorite TV series, “Flipper”. She's based in Paris where she lives and works with her shiba dog, Kawa.

About

I launched my first blog, Doodle Whore in 2006 as a repository for my doodles and observations on popular culture (OK, mainly Britney, cough cough).

But I also have a passion for antiquing, flea marketing, interiors, art, crafts, music, food, and architecture which I wanted to blab about, but it really didn't fit in with my trashy Doodle Whore oeuvre. I'm a voracious reader of design blogs and shelter mags, but I find that many are simply too girly, too decorator-y, too serious, or just too perfect for me. If I have to read one more story about Hollywood Regency slipper chairs or floral abstract poppy patterned tea towels I'll barf.

So here I give you my perspective as The Rural Modernist: an illustrator and greeting card peddler living two hours north of New York City in the Catskills with his boyfriend and dogs, listening to The Smiths and Madonna while rearranging the furniture, surfing the net, scavenging through barns and tag sales, watching bad t.v., and keeping the bears out of the bird feeder.

Yours truly, The Rural Modernist
