Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream

Consume VS Create

You can either consume or create. 

So true, so true…

Damn…I love consuming! Books are like candy to me. Browsing through favourite book shops and coming out with a new stacks of books must be one of the greatest pleasures of all!
I practically eat them…reading books in your PJ in one un-brushed weekend sitting, only interrupted by the occasional snack...sigh*

Or reading holidays…wandering from coffee shop to coffee shop to park benches to hotel  lounges to fluffy hotel beds, reading all the while (this is how I read all Harry Potter Books, saving them for the summer holidays)

There are so many ways of consuming…not only books but movies, comics, theatre, museums, food, tv, games…etc etc Whatever you do most of it is consuming someone else’s work/ideas.
Consuming is so fast and easy and lovely – But isn’t it amazing how long it takes to create?!

Mindboggling!
All the gathering, the doing and most of all the finishing!
I don’t get it. So unfair! But it’s good to keep in mind when you’re waiting for someone – a favourite writer or musician – to finish something new. It takes soooooooo long and is devoured in a matter of minutes/hours or days at the most.

One Illustration One Month - Day 7



I feel like I have to point out that I have finished the foot! And added structure to the fur, since someone was moaning there was no difference between day 4 and 5, snarl! The title of this blog is no accident LOL

One Illustration One Month - Day 1

Day 1

which I spend mostly digging out my supplies and sharpening pencils. Nevertheless, I made a start!
