A Bird Seller
Ah, took a bit of an inadvertent blogging break for a week or so there! I'll be back to posting at least weekly now. Though posts here might be slightly less frequent than in the past -- now that I'm both making art again and have a full-time job, I'll be focusing on that blog. I'll still be posting all my favorite inspirational images, and occasionally, recipes. Cooking original recipes is something else that's gone by the wayside with this full-time working and art-making! I still cook, but I mostly cook my favorites. A post on my favorites is forthcoming!
This is an image I first found on tumblr, and it's been inspiring me since. I love the man's stance, not to mention all the birdcages! More on the image can be found here.
