Week Nine: Eye of the Tiger

Okay, so no artwork today (I've been busy getting ready to go to FLORIDA!), but I want to share an amazing video from the World Wildlife Fund:


I've been reading a lot about tigers lately, and this video just astounded me. I find this so inspiring, and I hope you do too.

Let's Just Call This Week Eight (Part II)...

F in Exam
I ALMOST FORGOT to share this creation from polyvore.com! What a great website!




Let's Just Call This Week Eight....

Guess what??? I'm done exams! And marks are in....everything went waaay more successfully than I thought. HOWEVER, i've hardly had a spare moment since exams finished. I've started work for the summer, and I'm getting ready to go to florida (woot!) next week. I'm planning on hitting the Universal Harry Potter park, which is essentially a complete DREAM COME TRUE for me. Literally. Anyways...I have a couple of drawings on the go, but nothing is complete yet. I've been getting a lot of inspiration from books lately. Here are a few of the novels (besides Harry Potter) that I find inspiring:



  • The Little White Horse, by Elizabeth Goudge
  • One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey
  • Girl With a Pearl Earring, by Tracy Chevalier 
  • I Am the Messenger, by Markus Zusak 
  • Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, by John Berendt 
  • Shelf Life: Stories By the Book, edited by Gary Paulsen 
  • The Diana Chronicles, by Tina Brown
  • Tigers in Red Weather, by Ruth Padel
