Saturday Faves


Just want to share something cool I found the other day. I love art that is thorough, and if you go through this whole online piece, you will see what I mean by the very last picture. That's thorough! This is also an example of turning your joy into something lucrative. Hope you enjoy it.
And the Pursuit of Happiness by Maira Kalman In Love With A. Lincoln

Hey, Lincoln and I love the same music—The Magic Flute. Although . . . he probably would have shunned this adaption. Oh Smurf!






Here is a beautiful illustration, from where I do not know. Just another rare internet find. I think I was a mermaid in another life . . .

  1. That is an amazing Lincoln thing on Twitter, Amy - a lot of work went into that, eh? Nice top too.

    I can't bring myself to watch the Smurfs vid - sorry. Maybe I'll have a go tonight, after a few drinks to give me courage.

  3. That's okay. I'll sum it up for you. "I found a smurfy flute!" "Really? That's smurfs!" "Oh smurf! I forgot to smurf myself today." See? Nothing missed.

    Karen- We're kindred spirits indeed.
