Bulgarian artists Blagovesta and Aleksandar Makedonsky make instantly-likeable figures in ceramic that I wish I knew in person. There’s something utterly charming and very striking about their little ceramic people.
There’s something a little retro and a lot quirky about the characters they create. I can’t really pin down what they’re reminding me of, but I find them very compelling.
You can follow Blagovesta and Aleksandar Makedonsky on their website and on Facebook and Etsy.

These are just plain cute. They seem to be into fish and cats.

These are so cute! I have cats and live by the water–I should have at least one (or many more!) of these. Wonderful find, Donna.

They remind me of an old magazine. “The New Yorker”. Haven’t seen one in ages. They are fun to look at. Hal

I am obsessed with The New Yorker! It’s been my favorite magazine my entire life. You’re right. They would fit right in!

I love these so much! They make me think of folk art but operating at an elevated level. The use of shape and the attention to composition and colour palette is fantastic. I would give any one of these shelf/wall space.
