Shut up, I'm dreaming of places

Lazy summer's over... lots of new music and films to write about, lots of new photos and illustrations to upload. For a start, here's some impressions from Prague, where I spent a couple of days drinking a lot of good coffee and beer and taking about 300 pictures of beautiful old buildings (and other stuff). So here we go.

A thousand crystal towers, a hundred emerald cities

Listening to the new Bat for Lashes album "Two Suns"... time to post this picture I drew a little while ago.

Springtime, you're gonna wish that we were friends

If I could face the music
