It's a fool who plays it cool making this world a little colder.

You love the smell of newly bought paper, the way the brush caresses the page, you are the artist. To all the shy and hidden artists out there, the illustrators, the painters, the designers, this is your call. Get out there and create. There is too much hatred and malice in the world, create what makes your lips curve into a smile, create over all the hatred and all that makes even a little girl frown on a sunday.

Today is possibly the happiest day of my life. THE BEATLES ARE NOW ON I-TUNES ! FINALLY ! This is incredible ! Below, is possibly the best start-up page apple has EVER had. EVER.


This makes me smile, in a dorky my-lips-are-extending-and-touching-my-brain way. Freaky.

Anyway, moving on, the artist of today is (drumroll) Jonathan David and Rachel ! I just stumbled upon their stuff while surfing the net, but I have never been more glad that I spend hours going on random sites just because they have interesting thumbnail pictures ! It is one thing an artist truly desires, to have their creation evoke a feeling in the reader. All media texts desire to do so, yet only a few succeed. This photography actually made me feel happy, it was so effortless and beautiful. It made me feel, managed to move me. It truly stunned me to see how fun and beautiful capturing an emotion can be. Each of the pictures speaks to the reader, not once did I lose the connection, it was not patchy and abrupt, it was present all through. Below are the pictures that I loved, from the "Hippie Birthday" shoot. (Obviously it has something to do with hippies and thats why I chose it, I obsess.) The pictures are used with Jonathan/Rachel's permission, if anyone would like to re-post, I would suggest you contact Jonathan/Rachel  and ask for permission, as they do not belong to me. But you can find his photography page on facebook and they have a blog too ! So google away ! 

A little fun fact about the artist : Jonathan graduated with a degree in photography and psychology and Rachel studied accessory design !









BIG Thanks to Rachel and Jonathan who let me use their pictures ! Your work is light, fun and beautiful ! Takes the stress away from the world, the world really could use a little humor (referring to your other pictures apart from this shoot).

So now, below are a few pictures that I took (random photography of things/people I find interesting. I'm not a photographer, I do art ! So be gentle with the criticism) - if any one ever reads my blog at all, that is.
