Moleskine!

So the other day I was taking a stroll around Milan, and I see a pack of moleskines. Then I notice there are exactly three inside the pack, and I realise, in that moment that they were for us! The Thief and The Cobblers. Dim and Mil have been desperate for a while, and so I decided to buy them and we could start an individual but group project.

Needless to say, the twins jumped right in enthusiastically! And in only three days, here's what we've done! I put scans in of all three of our books! Enjoy and comment!

These amazing monsters were drawn for us by our friend almost two years ago :')


















This one was completely inspired by statikmotion.




This one was inspired by a picture of oliva bee's that I like.

Dreaming.


On Friday, Dim, Mil and I went on a LONG overdue photo adventure. The lack of photos on our blog has mostly been my fault, with uni exams and well, just life feeling stressful in general. I've been putting off going out to take pictures.. But it's no excuse. I promised February would be a creative month, and I mean to keep good on my promise.




Mil decided she liked the look of these cyclists, and proceded to practically stalking them. Poor, innocent civillians! Maybe one day they'll randomly be surfing the web and come accross these pics of themselves while they were obliviously cycling around town. But probably not, so I'm posting the photo anyway!


In the end, the three of us sat down on a bench, and just started to dream aloud. We talked about short term projects, photo adventures we want to go on. First to close places, like the lakes around Lombardy, and then Verona, and then eventually Venice, and Rome, Dim and Mil building up a portfolio of incredible pictures. Capturing the beauty that others can't (me going along for the fun!!! :D) After that we're going to go European, Paris, Berlin, Dublin, but not only cities. Anywhere we can. And after that, INTERNATIONAL!! (This is obviously in addition to my beautiful vintage exciting book store, young designer's forum and coffee shop, all in one)


It's good to dream. Actually it's vital. I often think that when I stop dreaming I inadvertently stop living. I breath, and eat and sleep. I do things as per usual, but I'm not really living, I'm going through the motions. Dreams make life worth living, they put exciting into the mundane, they put fun into the boring, and they make the future seem less daunting.

Moral of the story.. Never stop dreaming!
