our birthday!

These were from our birthday on the 18th of january. Here are a few pictures from the japanese sushi restaurant we went to :)




The prawns were absolutely DE-LIGHT-FUL!


Ale took this fab shot.. 





The best part of the evening was that it was an all you can eat style restaurant! I didn't even know they existed anymore. I almost feel like we're stealing from them by eating so much!!! After stuffing our faces we came home to a yum dessert! Good times!

Leave Justin ALONE..

While I was browsing tumblr instead of studying (naturally) I came across a blog post that went somewhat along the lines of 'its not his fault he's rich and famous.. let the poor guy go on a date for his birthday, he looks like he's about to cry' and so on.. And all I could think of was the Leave Britney Alone video my friend showed me a while ago. If you're unfamiliar:

(I apologise for the bad language..)

Anyways, I guess it must suck to be stalked by paparazzi and harassed by annoying fans, but that's what comes with the territory.. 

The thief and the cobblers have some very very exciting news!!! We've been asked to do an advert for a conference thing in England for some friends of ours! We're so so excited, and looking forward to getting some ideas together this weekend!!! 

I found this photo on tumblr that I loved, and it kind of describes how I'm feeling lately... Life can be so overwhelming!

That's all at the moment..
If you thought February was a productive month here at TT&TC wait until you see what we've got planned for March..
You stay classy San Diego...

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!
