I loved to draw since when I was a child and I started occupying myself intensively with illustration when I started studying four years ago.

I am in love with the illustration style of Andrew Zbihlyj (pronounced, “zi – bee – lee”). His art, which is very detailed and dynamic, is handmade with different materials, including some harmful chemicals and fire. He is somehow able to draw the most beautiful vivid lines.

Wow, here’s a super fancy, elegant, yet simple brewing system for coffee and tea. I love that it’s for both, because I currently have several different devices for different hot beverages.

Gonzales’ gentle piano reworking of the beautiful Feist soliloquy, One Evening, trickles through my headphones like the sweetest sprinkle of mid-winter sunshine.

Concept albums have always been a hit or miss affair, all too often to be taken with a pinch of salt. Some work brilliantly; many fall flat on their esoteric face. Dr John’s response to Hurricane Katrina is an intriguing album. Some is rousing, some depressing: it’s littered with political statements, perhaps too much at times but given it’s purpose the over-saturation isn’t surprising. Read more
