Easy Like Sunday Morning

Happy Sunday!

It’s been a busy couple of weeks here; I had a friend visit and we had a lovely time doing a mini food tour of Cambridge and visiting the Design Museum in London!

We went for the Wes Anderson exhibition which was absolutely amazing. So inspiring to see all the behind the scenes. I particularly loved seeing Anderson’s notebooks with all his thoughts and ideas jotted down, as well as all the carefully crafted props and models for each film.

I finished my Little Red Riding Hood project!

I’m happy to have it done, and it was a great learning experience - especially creating the thumbnails. I do think it has come out a bit too neat and ‘digital’ than I’d like - which is no surprise given I work digitally, but in general I’m still working on loosening up and being more ‘messy’ in my art as I’d love a more traditional look. These are things I’m going to be working on as I move forward!

I’ve been working on another personal project, too - I think I shared a sneak peek last post but here’s another one, hot off the press!

Super excited to start sharing more of this soon!

Between Mother’s Day and my friend’s visit, I’ve eaten an outrageous amount of tasty food in the past two weeks!

Some highlights:

• A huge pancake breakfast from Scott’s All Day in Cambridge

• Sushi from Sushi & Salad in Ely, which is always fantastic!

• For a healthier reprieve, I’ve been making smoothie bowls for breakfast and really enjoying them! The one pictured is M&S Tropical Smoothie Mix, blended up with some Greek yoghurt, half a banana and a splash of oat milk, topped with fruit and some seed/dried berry mix I had in the cupboard (usually I just use granola!).

• Still obsessed with Pokopia, of course!

• We are over half way through Happiness now and it’s still great!

• I’ve been trying to branch out to listen to more creative podcasts and I’ve been enjoying Two Cranky Creatives! It’s nice to listen to realistic and reassuring perspectives that don’t glamourise life as an artist (but are still uplifting)! I’d love to hear any podcast recommendations if you have them, too!

Have a great Sunday!
