Year of the Tiger
A little treasure to ring in the New Year. Last month was slow for me and kind of magic. I’ve been buried in books, closing up projects and beginning new ones. I feel inspired and rested, and I hope you do too.
I painted this fierce little thing to celebrate the Lunar New Year (which is today!), February 1st. I was born during the Year of the Tiger, so I guess this illustration holds a special significance. My birthday is also this month, so what better way to celebrate my 24th year around the sun than sharing it with you!
Treasures from January…
*I completed my first Yoga with Adriene’s 30 day challenge and it’s been one of the best things I’ve done in a while.
*I started reading Murakami’s 1Q84 this month. His weighty descriptions tend to pull me in because they’re so deep and descriptive. I can see why some people have issues with it, it’s a hefty read, and the plot is extremely slow. But I like his writing style, and it’s been a great to lose myself in his eerie world during these dark winter mornings.
*Two new art books for Christmas. One by Miroslav Sasek and one by Julia Sarda. Both are divine.
Happy New Year friends. Happy new beginnings. Happy everything.
& lots more to come!
