Audrey, Ip and Mr. Famous






Posting about Audrey Hepburn as a fashion icon is a bit obvious, but nonetheless true. But when I ran across this collection of photos by Bob Willoughby featuring Audrey and her beloved pets Ip, and Mr. Famous, I thought that this could be interesting.

Post me your Secret...





PostSecret is an ongoing community art project, created by Frank Warren where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard. The idea is that people identify with others' secrets and in turn, feel more comfortable sharing their own. 
 
It makes you slow down just a bit when you wonder if you've been responsible for someone's pain, if you've been the secret longing of someone who never had enough courage to speak up. I think everyone will be able to relate to something inside this blog.

Suicide Bunny




This book is just as advertised. The “plot” centers on a bunny trying to commit suicide. As much as I hate to admit it, this book is laugh-out-loud funny. Initially you may resist the urge to smile but, eventually, your reaction is likely to transform into bursts of laughter followed by a appreciation for this guilty pleasure.

Very few words are used so, you will find yourself predicting how each bunny will be succeed in ending his life. And, I did derive an odd sense of comfort in the fact that there are at least two seemingly twisted ideas.

Consider it sick. Consider it pointless. Consider it twisted. But, if you are to be honest, you must also consider it loads of fun.

My Neighbors The Yamadas




Storyline:

My Neighbours the Yamadas is made up of a series of sketches which focus on the ordinary Yamada family and their daily tales that range from the humourous to the heartbreaking, we see this family cope with life's little conflicts, problems and joys in their own way.





 


Review:

When seeing the very first pictures, I wondered what these drawings were, so far from the characters I got used to see. The animation is all water colored. And it looks like you're really look at a Comic.

And then, the magic of its humor took me. I was having no problem at all to follow the jokes, due to a possible lack in cultural knowledge. Yet, I don't think I missed so much. This Yamada family is close enough to us, and their behavior seemed rather universal to me.

Lots of wonderful images and full characters along with moments that will keep a smile in your heart.
