It's been a while since I last posted, but hopefully any future breaks won't be over a month long. Kick starting off the month of December was a wave of snow and cold weather engulfing the European continent. Sadly, currently residing on France's Atlantic coast means that I have so far missed out on a lot of the mayhem; we got temperatures on Tuesday and Wednesday just dipping south of freezing, but no snow accompanying it. So imagine my excitement this morning when I opened the curtains to find a certain something...

Out with my camera I went and took loads of pretentious arty photos in the town and the park, as well as a few videos at the beach (sand covered in snow!). Anyway, the snow has already started to melt, but I was simply happy to just hold it for even just around five minutes. Obviously the perfect start to the month of December, and a perfect thing to get anyone in the mood for Christmas.

And speaking of Christmas, snow, and winter: here's a drawing that I did a month or two, inspired by the Christmas tale,
The Fir Tree, a yarn penned by none other than Hans Christian Andersen
. I was coming up with ideas for illustrations and Christmas designs at the same time, and the two ended up fusing together into one image.
Your drawings are so modest and appealing. The Fir Tree would look great if framed.
