Well, hello there! I’ve just finished up my second commission of the weekend, and I can’t wait to share it with you once it’s been received. I think it might just be one of my favorite illustrations ever. Meanwhile, here’s what’s had my creative juices flowing lately…
For weeks and weeks I’ve been meaning to mention The Long Way Up, the final installment in a docuseries trilogy chronicling epic motorcycle journeys undertaken by Ewan McGregor and his friend Charley Boorman. This time around they’re making their way from the tip of Argentina up to Los Angeles on electrical bikes no less. It’s such a pleasure to see the two of them on another adventure together and is further proof that Ewan McGregor is quite possibly the most charming man on earth.
If, however, you’re looking for some frothier television, I highly recommend The Duchess, which I thoroughly enjoyed and watched in its entirety in one day.
I must also admit that my exclusively listening to Sigur Ròs phase is still going hella strong with their album Takk… this week. Again, it’s been so long since I listened that it’s just magic magic magic all over again. I’ve found that music with lyrics has been making more and more emotional the closer election day gets, so not being able to understand what they’re saying is some kind of relief. I’m imagining nothing but bright and beautiful things ushered in by their sweet Icelandic tones.
It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Nadiya Hussain from The Great British Bake Off. Thus, it’s no surprise at all that I adored her interview on How to Fail.
Sofia Coppola’s films have always captured my attention and her latest, On the Rocks with Rashida Jones and Billy Murray, was no exception.
Brené Brown’s interview with Joe Biden on Unlocking Us this week was encouraging — a solid listen.
While it didn’t quite live up to all my grand and haunting expectations, the remake of Rebecca was a welcome distraction on an autumn evening all the same.
Light and love, my friends. Hugging you in spirit.
xoxo,
Sally
