Robert Hunt’s illustration, the Giant, Bolster
special day on Flickr.
yesterday was my birthday and everyone made me feel very special
the most adorable drawing, you can’t beat it, don’t even go there
let me just be the bazillionth person to post this amazing cartoon that everyone loves
This was a picture I started before I got a job and then forgot about it.
I found it on monday and decided to finish it. Three things that I find hard to draw are in it: bicycles, kisses and houses. Okay the house doesn’t count, that was easy as it’s basically just the door.
Btw the city I live in now has beautiful houses with really amazing old doors. The door on the illo is one of the simpler ones, most of them are really detailed with faces, figures and plants.
Prints are available here.
I’m in the mood for BEAUTIFUL PICTURES
haha yes! This is perfect. Old-timey fear mongering images about voting and biking and anything else a woman might do makes old timey women look like my dream best friends.
A wonderful photo that’s about to be immortalized in sculpture:

“Meet Hilda, the creation of illustrator Duane Bryers and pin-up art’s best kept secret. Voluptuous in all the right places, a little clumsy but not at all shy about her figure, Hilda was one of the only atypical plus-sized pin-up queens to grace the pages of American calendars from the 1950s up until the early 1980s, and achieved moderate notoriety in the 1960s.”

New York Review Books is re-publishing Dr. Sara Josephine Baker’s autobiographic work Fighting for Life! If you don’t know who she is, go on and look her up, she was an amazing fighter for social reform, saver of babies. and it’s most likely that she was a lesbian. She hunted down Typhoid Mary! She kicked ass.
Jack Handey’s Alexander the Great story from the New Yorker is one of my all time favourite little humour pieces.
“Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light. Tragedy is the most ridiculous thing.”
― Frida Kahlo
Remember this quote and understand why it is wrong to enshroud the memory of Frida in an aura of pain & suffering as if that’s what she were all about.
I fucking love this picture omg
the giggles!
