Congrats Carlos!! And thank you again to everyone who entered!!
I always imagined people who are vegan's as being "hippy types who don't have jobs and maybe live in a forest or commune or who want to live in a forest or commune."
BUT, Matt and I watched this documentary , Forks Over Knives, on Netflix streaming last weekend, and I never want to eat another piece of meat or a dairy product again!
And then, if that wasn't enough, we watched this documentary, Food, Inc, as well.
I never, in a million years, thought that I would ever go vegan.. I once ate a hamburger while watching a video of cows being slaughtered, and didn't bat an eyelash. But these documentaries really do make you think about how much nutrition we get (Forks Over Knives) as well as how poorly the animals get treated (Food, Inc).
Last Wednesday, the 18th was my first day of absolutely no meat or dairy. For the first couple of days I felt kind of bad. I wasn't really sick, but I just didn't feel like doing anything. But then on Saturday I woke up feeling great. I have to say though, that it isn't enough to just stop eating animal products. There are a lot of non-animal products (like french fries!) that you shouldn't eat. I'm mostly eating fruits, vegetables, and grains and I'm also taking vitamins. Since Wednesday I've lost five lbs and I have a ton of energy. Healthy food is a lot more expensive so I'm probably going to have to start cooking more, but I think it's worth it for sure!
I'm so excited to announce my April giveaway!!

Last Friday's IF entry..
Just Us Two is available here in my Etsy shop.
I'm sooo excited to finally be able to sell my prints in the 11x14 size. Most of the prints in my shop can be made into an 11x14, but if the original is really small (say 5x7) then it's much harder to get a nice clear image in the larger prints. Here are a few that I have available, and there will be more to come soon!
Well I was 'going' to post an Illustration Friday post today, but this week's topic is 'yield' and I have yet to think up something for that. So instead, I'm posting my newest illustration.. I have so many ideas for the 'island in the sky' theme and sometimes I worry that I overdo it, but they are so much fun IMO!
This one is available here in my shop as an 8x10 and I will be posting a 5x7 tomorrow. One of the most common questions I get asked, is whether I have larger sized prints. Thanks to my new large format printer I hope to have those available within a week or so.. I'm starting out with 11x14's and I'm really excited to get those listed!
Giveaway!!!
