"I'm coming" she said ... So is Christmas ... Literally.

I can't believe that I am only 8 weeks away from finishing my Graphic Design course. That's kind of scary. [read: terrifying] This year has literally blown away in the wind, I feel like it was only yesterday it was the summer break, I was at the beach, eating gelato, working on my non-existant tan... And yet, the leaves have changed colour, the snow has fallen [for the first time in 30 years] and days are once again starting to get longer as we head back into summer.

I know that for the next 8 weeks it is going to be even more a whirlwind, not only have I got my final studio campaign [read: big scary final piece of work] I am attending the annual Barbie Survivor Weekend [read: annual girls weekend at a friends bach where we dress up, do silly things and drink far too much] Photographing my first official wedding under my new creative company [more on that later] and having an early christmas vacation with my family. 


So in-between the madness, I know I am going to have to make a real concious effort to take some breathing time, because it is times like this [especially this time of year] when the pressure is mounting, that things so easily fall apart. I was having some of my 'scheduled' relaxation time today [control freak much?] and I was browsing through some of my favourite inspiration sites in hopes of finding something to well ... inspire me [go figure] and I struck the illustration jackpot. I have always had a love for illustration as a general rule. I love lines, the flow, the fluidity of the final pieces. I love the working up to the final pieces, the sketching, the blocking out, I guess, I love the fact that its generally hand rendered, as so much of what is out there these days in the design world is computer rendered. Enter Paule T.B. A Canadian native, who lives in a small Montreal apartment with pug, Constance. Her work, is for lack of a better expression, bloody incredible. I really don't think I need to say much more ... I mean a picture says a thousand words right? Well heres 6.

Swoon worthy right? I think so! Maybe one day my work might be this amazing ... a girl can dream right?
