All Hallows Eve

Isabella Kirkland

Did anyone check out this article in the NY Times today? Really incredible artwork by Isabella Kirkland. From the Times:

"The six paintings, each of which took about a year to create, memorialize species that have vanished from the planet during the ascent of humans; those that are finding new niches as humans spread plants and animals around the globe; those collected or harvested illegally or too aggressively; American species in decline; and — most hopefully — animals and plants that were thought to be extinct, or on the brink of vanishing, but have come back."

For anyone who cares about the environment and the plight of animals this is really an amazing body of work.

Illustration friday: Trick or Treat

I don't know about you but i'd rather the monster lurking under my bed treat me to a bedtime story than chop off my feet when they are sticking out from under the covers. Admit it, even now as an adult you still have those childhood fears --- heehee....

Migraines Part II

Woke up with my week long migraine still fully intact. Ironically I found this article regarding migraines in the NY Times. A good read for those of us who suffer almost daily from headaches/migraines.
