Do Your Part – Go Vote

No matter what your politics, the democratic process doesn’t work unless we each do our part to get out and exercise our right to vote.  So if you haven’t already taken advantage of early voting or absentee voting (like me!), please get out there on November 6th and vote.  This will certainly be a close election so make your voice heard.

And, make sure you vote with YOUR voice, YOUR heart, and YOUR head and not the voice of some talking head off the TV.

GO VOTE!

The amazingly talented Lisa Congdon drew the above illustration.  Do yourself a favor and check out her art work and her series 365 Days of Hand Lettering. You’re sure to be inspired.

Opening New Doorways

Do you like inspirational quotes?  I love them and sometimes they tell you exactly what you need to hear.  So I thought I’d share some inspiring quotes a little more often.  And maybe have a bit of fun making them pretty.

Where Tolkien Found Inspiration

Oxford professor J. R. R. Tolkien reportedly spent much of his time beneath this tree at the University of Oxford Botanic Garden.  With its size and branches like big arms stretched out and ready to grab you at any moment, it lets you peek ever so slightly into the mind of a great writer and his creative process.  How he took inspiration from the world around him, from this great monster of a tree, and turned it into characters, the Ents, in one of our great works of literature, The Lord of the Rings.
