[ more Riley... ]
Briget Riley is not only a well known Wallpaper Artist, but the phrase 'The Life of Riley' comes from the fact that she designed some wallpaper, stuck a piece on her wall to see how it would look and then a poncy art critic came to her house and declared it groundbreaking. Bridget tried to explain it was a bit of wallpaper but was offered thousands for it and commissioned to do more. She shut up quickly after that.
Another little known factoid is that Bridget's parents were big Frank Sinatra fans. They couldn't name their little daughter Frank, so they named her 'Bridget Riley' which is an exact rhyme of 'I Did It My Way'.
