The art

14 years ago

I had those pictures when I was a child and I can't believe they are posted here. Where did you find them and do they have a name, I would love to locate a set again.

These are vintage framed Big Eye Children art which was a popular art form in the 60's. I actually picked these up from an estate sale in Austin, Texas but it isn't uncommon to find them in vintage shops, especially those with finds from the same time period. The artist is called Maio, one of the most popular of the time.
