I haven't really go much to post, I have a few drawings in my book and I'm itching to make a few things but haven't yet go around to it. I'd love to do an illustration course, it seems so lovely, I adore books and pictures and it, to me, is a thing that's so humble and sweet. All the illustrators that I look at and like surround themselves with unique, beautiful things. I want to do that. Have a work place that's truly inspirational to me. Not built for others. A haven for me, full of wonderful things. I'm on Etsy currently and some of the things I've found are lovely. I wonder if I could create illustrations from sewing characters.

I like typography, but mostly I like it when it's sweet, like the type of things that Rob Ryan uses. I know I should be more interested in illustrating world events and things that are in the newspapers, but to be truthful, I find that sort of thing highly gloomy, not at all something wonderful or fun. I'd much prefer to draw something with a more personal theme. If I feel an emotion or am going through a situation someone else is bound to be able to relate and find comfort or become warmed by the fact someone else has gone through the same.

I go through fads. I'm like a child really. Currently I'm obsessed with Deer's. They are the most brilliant creatures to look at. I'm also really into tea cups. I've seen a tea cup with a Deer illustration stuck to the inside. I'm am completely obsessed with it. Small things make me happy. There is a church fair on Tuesday and I cannot wait.

Anyway, I have work tomorrow but I shall post some pictures up after I finish :)
