book by its cover
For anyone who's not familiar with it, Book-By-Its-Cover is a really great blog that reviews art books. Every Friday they feature a peak into artist's sketchbooks and today's artist is my friend, Karen Klassen. I love her sketchbooks. They're really inspiring; full of experimentation. Check them out here.

brand new website
I recently re-designed my illustration website. I loved my old one, but because I built it myself and I'm not a web/coding person, it didn't load fast enough. My husband is really good at making websites so I came up with a simple design and he built it for me. We've been slowly tweaking it and I think its first incarnation is complete. Check it out here, and please let me know if you experience any trouble with it.

couch surfing
There is a really great networking site for travelers called CouchSurfing.com . Basically, it allows you to find people who want to meet and interact with travelers while providing them with a free place to sleep. My husband and I thought it would be a great way to meet people since we'll soon be traveling in Europe. We both love to learn and are really interested in culture and history and feel that the best way to get that is to meet some locals.
We signed up last fall and so far we've only hosted other people, we have yet to couch surf ourselves. But it's been great - one positive experience after another. We met a really nice guy from Winnipeg, a lovely couple from France and another one from the Czech Republic.
We had dinner with the Czech couple, Eva and Tom, Friday evening and they were so kind and interesting. They even brought us wine from their vineyard in the Czech Republic. I look forward to seeing them again when we go to Europe.
