 Am I not a real man for liking this?
I've got really into Megan Whitmarsh's embroidery pieces of late. Was so close to buying on from a show in Brussels but bottled it. when I've showed her stuff to my lady and a few friends who've said it's all a bit camp.
Am I a friend of dorothy?

Those were my responses to it.
It has a fun, sort of "primative" feeling to it.

I like her embroidery! Nothing unmanly, just another medium of art. I had a sculpting teacher that did embroidery photo realism. Her work looked like photos, she was totally amazing. I love the little Yetis!

I especially dig Graf-broidery. I heard that Stash started out in embroidery and graduated to walls and other mediums after he cut his teeth there. Same with Banksy (not to be confused with Banky).
