Here's quirky for you: since when did twelve year olds get so cool. It sort of makes me sick.

In ten years time...

I'd like to be pretty settled by then I think. I'd want to be working for a design house or something, I'm still unsure where I want to be just yet. I'd like to be married and kids soon... seeing as the last 10 years have been about traveling and working and just gathering life experience. I don't know where I'll be, I might be abroad. I'd like two rescue cats. I want a vegetable patch, although I'd assume at this point it'll be in the early stages of life. I'd also hope by now I'd be back to being omnivorous, but of course that depends on the money situation... If not, I'll have chickens. They'll lay me eggs.

'Alex in Peru'

Alex is back next week! And so as a welcome back gift, I decided to make a sketchbook of drawings from her trip. It's a secret though! I hope she doesn't find it...

As Not Seen, Lucinda Rogers

I absolutely adore this image, mainly because I was in New York in June. I love the way she captures life, the people and places alike, and I'd like to think that this is how I illustrate too. It always feels like its done with gusto and energy, and as though she's on location. There's also a beautiful contrast of such detailed graphical lines next to the big inky blocks and thick lines that I love love LOVE.

Home.

It's a shame that it's things I WON'T miss about home because frankly, I love it at home. There will be far more things I miss than won't. Nottingham might be seen as a 'rough' city, but I find that the it's a bit of a treasure trove... It'll be a big difference to London.

Don't get me wrong, I am far from a home bird. But Nottingham will always have a place in my heart.
