Reliving my Childhood

I have recently stumbled across the fab livejournal of cartoon artist Lucy Kinsley and her wonderful versions of the Harry Potter books.

How awesome are they? Only the first 4 are up there right now, and I think only the first 3 are available to buy as posters. Can't wait to see them all!

Yes, I am a Harry Potter nerd. Not to extremes, but those books came out when I was exactly the right age for them and will always be a bit special. I can remember being younger than Harry, exactly the same age for a couple of years, and then older. And, of course, I doubt I'll ever get to experience queuing for books at midnight or avoiding the internet for fear of spoilers again...sad times.

Equine Anatomical

Speaking of loving anatomy, I've recently started to collect (via zootool) a little collection of equine anatomy images. Two loves in one.

For instance, this picture by Skinny Ships is just gorgeous:

The colours! I love it.

And then, yesterday I came across this:

Why did no one tell me Breyer made an anatomical model now?

I had quite a few Breyers when I was little (still do, in a box in he attic). I may have to rekindle this purchasing relationship...

PS Yup. Changed the background again. What can I say? Shabby have a new website up and I couldn't resist - not to mention I'm a bit tired of being reminded it's still winter!

I shall have to get round to adding a tumblr link too...
