Hi ho hi ho off to the tower of london I go! whoop! So, here are the sketches I did when I paid a trip to the Tower Of London to check out the beautiful ravens.
The ravens had really cool/bizarre wizard names which sounded as if they were from LOTR + the Hobbit not to mention Harry Potter! ...Fleur, Baldrick, GYLUM(gylam -really???? If I owned a raven I would NEVER call my baby this)HUGIN (!!), GANDULF(hahaha)...AND .....*drumrolls*
.....
....
COLIN!!!!! .. ¬_¬" what the hell! colin!
What would be so perfect for my research are some traditional tarot cards !!!!!! I've seen some with lush raven imagery (on the death card) before but I feel like I've climbed every mountain, searching high & low and what do I find??? A BIG FAT NOTHING!!!!! WHYYYYYY????? WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND????? but it takes both rain & sunshine to create a rainbow.. MAYBE I SHOULD TRY HARDER!!!!
O yar I have been working on my cat encyclopedia (twatty time filler activity) Chatting, drawing, loling, dazzing. It's been fun. Advancing..SLOWLY but SURELY. This is the first page. I am not going to be uploading more anytime soon. It will only spoil the fun!!
Yeah, I've been looking at those shiny zines! Initially I had in mind to make my cat encyclopedia into magical zine to sell.. so the proceeds go to the PHAN FOUNDATION. But although I find it funnies...would others??? THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION!
I became aware of said charity when I read Little Daughter: A Memoir Of Survival in Burma & The West by ZOYA PHAN. This is one of those books, which would deeply taint your brain.
We must never forget about what's happening in Burma. How brutal the regime is and yes when you read/ watch about it on the news your brain may just be glazed over..and not really fully processing the information, what is best is to read a first hand account about the 84752039845702389570234 victims of the burmese gouvernment!!
Remember the castro skull i blogged about? Finito product. Me likeys:
In his words: 'Alas a skull ! With a garden for a head and a young woman cutting the grass and a motherfucking shed :o'

I apologise that my posts are zzzz as I have no photos!! I am still without a camera! woeee is meee! Too bad, I have no intention of purchasing one anytime soon! Maybe I'll borrow those MAH-OO-SIVE ones from college every now and then....dot dot dot
