Space Oddity
Dear moms, I believe many of you are David Bowie fans like me, right? Dads?
Illustrator Andrew Kolb turned Bowie’s song “Space Oddity” into a book for children, where Major Tom’s trip to the Moon is told in 60′s inspired drawings. Isn’t it just great?
For our disappointment, the books is “merely a concept” and no physical form of it will be made. Such a pity!
As so, all I can do is let you with the pictures. Try not to cry in the end – Major Tom is very expressive, his despair is almost unbearable!!!

They Draw & Cook
Today I came home from work thinking about how much time people spend cooking if you want to eat healthily… (and if you don’t have a cook working for you, like many Brazilians!)
I quite enjoy cooking (well, I actually enjoy eating properly), though it is also not my favourite activity after 8 hours in the office. But there is a way to prepare your food with a smile on your face. It’s called “They Draw & Cook“.
Siblings Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell – experienced designer and illustrators – came up with this funny, simple and joyful concept: illustrating recipes. An idea that started as a joke turned into a delicious serious matter. They’ve launched their own book this very month, full of stunning illustrations made by themselves and other professional artists or even by passionate drawers! (Available a amazon.com)
The website is a must-see. I really recommend you to try to find a recipe. Won’t say more. Perfect for cooking with kids and encourage them to experiment in the kitchen. (pray for good cleaning products!)

The Picture
Ages ago, my dear friend Tatiana – a true fashionista who breathes fashion – sent me this picture. Going through my archives, I found it today. It’s definitely THE picture. Visual poetry. Just perfect.
From Vogue Enfants. Which month? No idea. Doesn’t matter, it’s timeless.
