JR is a French street artist who became famous for posting photographs of everyday people around cities of the world - from Paris, to the favelas of Rio, and the crumbling buildings of Shanghai. This TED talk features him sharing his stories and dreams, as well as his interesting take on the meaning of art - that we should use it to turn the world inside out.
Who do you write like?
Possibly the most awesome procastination tool the internet has produced in a long time..
Check which famous writer you write like by entering in a couple of paragraphs of text.
Apparently, I write like Vladimir Nabokov, the Russian author of Lolita (which, incidentally, I’ve never read) and H. P. Lovecraft, who Google tells me was a “20th century master of weird fiction”, whatever that is.
So, I write like a Russian and someone who used initials, which can only mean that I must be good ;-)
Who do you write like?
Beautiful.
Even the most solid of things, and the most real, the best-loved and the well-known, are only hand-shadows on the wall. Empty space and points of light.
Jeanette Winterson (Sexing the Cherry)
I am reading The Passion at the moment…
Very excited because soon I’ll be starting my watercolour painting class at the Pine Street Creative Arts Centre! Can’t wait to start making floaty, ethereal pieces like these!
The most amazing flickr group ever!
Almost as exquisite as the Moleskinerie group, this Flickr set is dedicated solely to delightful little drawings of “What I Wore Today”. Some of them are just beautiful to look at, others are an inspiration for future laundry/party/dressup days.
The credit for this brilliant find goes to Lauren - who is not only a web-scouring genius, but is also the major reason for my essay procrastination ;-) how can i ever thank her enough?
.. a collection of glimpses into the magnificent imagination of Courtney Brims, an artist based in Brisbane, Australia. On her website, she says that she loves all things unusual and is inspired by fairytales, Victorian illustration, memories and dreams.
Beautiful!

about
I love to write, and I love to take photographs. I make zines, copper jewellery, rushed sketches, and I am learning to play the guitar.
Sometimes I like to imagine that I live in a world where all that I need in life is a pair of red shoes and a cobblestone street in Paris...
