Foreign Film-a-thon.

I spent my weeknights with these gems:

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

Le Grand Voyage. (filmmovement.com)

Since Otar Left.

Miwa Koizumi.

Plastic bottles turned into jellyfish by Miwa Koizumi. Brilliant and beautiful.

William Eggleston.

William Eggleston is by far one of my favorite photographers. This image is incredible.

Grady Mcferrin.

Grady Mcferrin has been a great source of inspiration to me for a couple of years now. I really enjoy the linear patterns he creates within his images and the colors are always beautiful.

I learned this week that there are a large number of wild parrots living in the New York area. I think it's amazing, and a little surreal, how these birds have just become a part of the wildlife.

Hope.

This image makes me smile.

The flag in the background made me think of the book States of Mind by Brad Herzog. It's a travel narrative about the author and his wife trekking across the US in a Winnebago they call the Rolling Stone visiting places with names such as: Love, Hope, Inspiration, and Friendship to find out if they are true to their names. One of my favorite books.

For the Wee Ones.

The more and more I think about it, the more and more I want to be a children's book illustrator.
