Tuesday

My best friend, Nina, is an amazing artist and she finally got around to putting some stuff up on the interwebs. Lets have a wee show case shall we?


From her "90's Muses" series. Totally amazing and include Bjork, P J Harvey and Winona Ryder among others.


This is a drawing of her fiance's (so soon to be husband, also my best friend and I look forward to being IN the wedding eeee) sister with her new little babe. I love this picture.


This is from the same series of pictures entitled Visions


 A drawing from while living in Korea. From a series entitled Houseworks


And lastly, from an amazing Zine she made. I distributed it to all my (and our) friends in Wellington and I know for a fact that many have the photos framed on their walls! 
The Zine is called Hair do's.

Enjoy! And I'm sure if you wanted a copy of the zine or anything else we could sort something out! Just holla!

Thursday





I wanted to share some of Jacob's drawings. So over time I will give you a taste of his things (again this is all dependent  on finding a scanner to scan any drawings he does). These are drawings from his final project at Uni, so they're from last year but dang it they're freaking awesome. He chose to illustrate Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five. These are mostly from Chapter two. Anyway. Enjoy Ya'll.

Monday

So I work at the library in town. Its a fabulous job and I love it to pieces. I plan on being a school librarian (hopefully primary school).
Here are some books I'm loving at the moment.

The Man Who Lost His Head
By Claire Huchet Bishop
Illustrated by Robert McCloskey

Amazing wee book, the drawings are absolutely awesome. I haven't actually finished reading it yet, but so far so blinking good.

And then there is this spectacular book.
The Story Blanket
By Ferida Wolff and Harriet May Savitz
Illustrated by Elena Odriozola

OKay so Elena Odriozola is totally in my top five illustrators at the moment. Here i have the cover of said book plus some other random pictures by her that I like. I cant wait to read more book by this author and illustrated by this charming girl.





And finally today I just took some bread out of the oven. Eek. i love the holidays!
