vitamin d

When I was living in England, I was constantly wondering if I had seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and whether I should get one of those UV lights to mimick the effect of sunshine and vitamin d. Now we live in Cyprus, i'm glad I didnt invest in one of those lights. But dont believe everything you read; we have our fair share of cloud and rain. Which even further compounds my belief that the weather certainly affects my mood. I need a regular supply of vitamin d. No doubt about it.

For sure I am living in the right country; feeling the sunshine on your skin as your walking to work is pretty mood boosting. And recently it has been giving me an extra dose of enthusiasm, indeed the vitamin d is powering through me and I feel refreshed and revived. So with spring in full swing and summer just around the corner, I have a very positive feeling.

flat texture

this is colossal really taps into the aesthetic I like, I could simply spend hours going from post to post reading everything and being consumed by every image. And every time i'm there something catches my eye, whether its old or new.

And I love the photographs of ink underwater by Alberto Seveso. The depth and texture of the images is astounding and the ink looks so soft and delicate yet so graphic. 

See all the images here.

Shape and Sculpt

Sculpture is never something I really took the time to appreciate properly before. Traditionally my taste in art veers more toward the quirky, the modern, the simple and the graphic. But my eyes certainly lit up with this find on this is colossal. 

Vietnamese artist Diem Chau is a phenomenal craftswomen with a wonderful creative vision. This is evident from her work alone and her quirky use of everyday stationary items. She uses crayons and pencils and creates intricate and extensively detailed mini sculptures full of character, colour and charm.
