The other day, a current colleague of mine, also a budding designer drew an illustration of me, fantastic, it was for a meeting, so they could make a ginger bread replica of me. I love the creative community.

It sparks an emotion in me and I have a long list of bookmarks in my browser so I can have a quick peek at something an illustrator has conjured up. It always makes me think “I wish i could do that”.

No girls laugh at me

Anyway, on reading a budding designer/ex-colleague’s blog, I read about an illustrator who has just taken subject lines from spam she’s received and turned them into a cool illustration. I’d love to get one of these printed on a large canvas, absolutely superb, well done Miss Linzie Hunter.
