"Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once."

let them eat cake...

today's inspiration...lavish living, beautiful palettes and Sophie Coppalova film's

Any lady with a passion for champagne and shoes is an icon in my books

Marie Antoinette

Many did slate the film but i really enjoyed it. Propably because i adore the lavishness and extraordinary visionary details that can send a girls fantasies wild...of big pink feathers in your hair , gorgeous costumes and piles of baby pink macaroons.

yes i am sure the french revolution was a lot grittier, bloddier and without music by the strokes, but the idea is suptious. A time of complete luxury, and blinding ignorance.

I adore the costumes and sets these are a few of my favourites that are forever planted in my internal scrapbook...

quote today...


For every evil under the sun
There is a remedy or there is none.
If there be one, seek till you find it;
If there be none, never mind it.

sketching...

like most artists, whether a musician, an painter, a poet... everyone gets a block and sometimes its hard to pick up and keep going. Sometimes you start and you don't succeed and really question yourself as an artist.

i picked up my pen today and drew

for the first time i think i'm getting my skill back

shame and exhaustion

perhaps because its simple but really has a meaning. I reflects how i feel sometimes and its great to explore it through a positive skill. The images childlike, effortless...they come from the heart...drawn without thought

for that is the best way to express oneself


i miss drawing
i feel like a little girl again 
i didn't need an xbox, or blackberry when i was twelve...just a pencil and maybe a new set of felt tips!
