Here’s a snippit of a self-promotional illustration I am working on. What do you think they are looking at? A statue, a ghost, a giant bunny!? No. But come back and you’ll get to see soon!

Here’s a cute kitty cat that I illustrated for an Oxford University Press course book earlier this year. My daughter’s favorite stuffed animal is a gray striped tiger cat named Tito, so of course I just had to get him into the book!

What a beautiful summer-like day it is here in New England. I know that there are not too many of these days ahead, so it’s time to enjoy it while you can!

Here’s a quote I like and part of a pattern I designed on a card for Gartner Greetings. Have a great weekend!

Men always love what is good or what they find good; it is in judging what is good that they go wrong.

Today is my daughter’s 5th birthday! We had a great party for her over the weekend with family and friends. She has been enjoying eating the leftover cake and playing with her presents the last few days. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 5 years since my little girl was born. But I am happy to say that I haven’t missed a moment and am looking forward to many more. Love you, Marin!

I love Friday’s, philosophy and quotes that inspire. So here’s my first Philosophy Friday. Enjoy!
-To teach how to live with uncertainty, yet without being paralyzed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy can do. ~Bertrand Russell
