Illustration: This Is Why I Never Watch The News

I´m very sensitive. Probably too sensitive. I just can´t stand to sit on my couch and watch all the bad things happening. (That are just a small outtake of ALL the things happening on this planet, but it seems that only bad news is good news and therefore worthy enough to be screened.) Watching the news makes me feel depressed. Awful. Small. Like I can´t change a thing. Too overwhelming. To me it´s better to focus on what I can change that is right in front of me. The world is a pretty nice place to be and I don´t think that the media is reporting enough of the good stuff.


So here´s my thing to make you smile today. Have you ever scanned your cat?

Vanilla Diamond from below.

Looks pretty artsy, huh? You can clearly see that Vanilla Diamond is a tortie, which is why her paws are all black and pink. She was perfectly fine sitting on the scanner, being very happy because she normally isn´t allowed to go there. ("Really? I can stay?" *purrs*) There´s a pretty nice thunderstorm going on outside that constantly reminds me of the things going on in the U.S. Be safe everyone, I keep my fingers crossed for you.



5 things I am thankful for today:

• the weather cooling down. I´m unable to think when it´s too hot.
• looooong sleep. Haven´t slept this long and good in ages. Feel like a newborn.
• Fifi Lapin is such a cute blog!
• Making time to draw and illustrate. Heaven!
• George Carlin quotes that make me laugh.

Raindrop hugs and cozy blanket kisses,
