simone decker’s bubblegum art has me remembering the days of sickly sweet grape hubba bubba and the gobs of the tasteless remains left stuck beneath school desks and chairs. i never mastered the art of the perfect bubble… this might make me want to give it another go!

happy mother’s day

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

photographer, musician, entrepreneur, vegetarian, animal-rights activist and beloved wife and mother… linda mccartney was one helluva lady. and just like my own beautiful mum, she’s an incredible inspiration. hugs and kisses to all the lovely mums and nannas out there!

ira glass on storytelling

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

ira glass from this american life (♥!) talks about creative pursuits and having good taste. the lesson? if you have a love for your creative field (and therefore a good eye for it), you’ll recognise when the work you’re doing falls short. and if you work long and hard eventually the quality of your creative output will rise up to meet your expectations.
