Let it snow





The top photograph is one of my favourites from my childhood. Walking back from the shops with my mum and brother, me holding mum's hand. We haven't quite got that much snow here today, although that's not the case in some places at the moment. It was nice to see so many people on the hill in the park near us taking advantage of the wintry weather...should have joined them! The photo reminded me of one of Bruegel's artworks (above), I'm sure my parents used to have it on the wall at home. I really love his winter landscapes.

This is a beautiful russian animation (via Camilla Engman), check out this other one too.

A little bit of folk...


A couple of amazing artists, Evan B. Harris (above) and Katy Horan (below). I just love the folk element in their artwork.

Take a look at this animation by FashionBuddha using Evan's illustrations (found via About Today) and this video using Katy's (found via Booooooom). Beautiful!
