{ - hobbit happiness - }

While visiting Laurie's blog I followed a link to an unbelievably delicious looking 'hygge' home! If I weren't so dependent on my latte, humbolt fog, shopping and power shower (shame on me!) i would make one of these in a heart beat! There must be a happy medium, do you think anyone would object if I built one of these in Manhattan... I suppose security might be an issue....Front

My dear friend Sophus is in town, checking out New York city. He is scoping the place out before he takes it by storm! A very charming and talented designer, illustrator, artist, I suggest you keep your eyes peeled for this guy!

Liza Corbett... I am amazed... incredibly haunting yet also kind of sweet illustrations. I just bought one of her prints on the Etsy store which I can't wait to hang in my new studio when we move!Artsandcrafts

{ fabulous gocco prints }

Look at these wonderful prints from ouou! I love how sharp these illustrations are and yet they are so playful! I am going to buy me an ouou on etsy, I just need to decide what it should be :)

I found the link on pikaland {which is a great blog that you should check out ~ a community of illustrators spearheaded by Amy} where I also found Kate Wilson's lovely illustrations of birds!

••• happy valentines •••

Ithers seek they ken na what,
Features, carriage, and a' that;
Gie me love in her I court,
Love to love maks a' the sport.

Let love sparkle in her e'e;
Let her lo'e nae man but me;
That's the tocher-gude I prize,
There the luver's treasure lies.

--- old school black and white ---

I got a really nice big digital camera for my birthday. I needed to upgrade for the latest photo shoots I am being hired for. And while there is so many things I love about my new camera, I am such a big fan of the old school way... my dad's old manual slr with black and white film and developing my own film and printing my own pictures on good old fiber paper in a dark room! Black and white just isn't the same on a digital camera and on an Epson printer. Here are some of my Black and Whites, I will post some of my shots from the digital camera tomorrow...

''' Love Birds '''

All off New York is heating up for Valentine's Day. Hearts upon hearts upon love messages and chocolates abound in every store. All the restaurants are urging us to "BOOK NOW - before it is TOO LATE!" and roses are on special despite the fact that they will die before February 14th. Love_bird

Funny.....the pressure is on to love the right way or be in the dog house! So many friends fretting over the rules of the game and the protocol of courting... that is what I see in this print by cricket press... it is at times like this that I am grateful for the love in my life which is true, solid and calm. SOD THE RULES! This valentines day, dare to love your friends, love your family, love your partner or dare to love the very one you want to be your partner. Throw caution to the wind and enjoy the pure joy unfiltered affection can bring and just be happy that there is someone or something that makes you feel that way.

...PUNCH...

Check out this really cool illo from one of the local restaurants ~ PUNCH! I can recommend the food there and better still is the wine bar upstairs called 'wined up'. Speaking of which, I think I am gonna go and pour me a glass of prosecco and call it a day!
