Thanks Oscar Wilde, I’ll remember that.

Happy MLK Day!
“Now Amy Winehouse is dead, like many others whose unnecessary deaths have been retrospectively romanticised, at 27 years old. Whether this tragedy was preventable or not is now irrelevant. It is not preventable today. We have lost a beautiful and talented woman to this disease. Not all addicts have Amy’s incredible talent. Or Kurt’s or Jimi’s or Janis’s, some people just get the affliction. All we can do is adapt the way we view this condition, not as a crime or a romantic affectation but as a disease that will kill. We need to review the way society treats addicts, not as criminals but as sick people in need of care. We need to look at the way our government funds rehabilitation. It is cheaper to rehabilitate an addict than to send them to prison, so criminalisation doesn’t even make economic sense. Not all of us know someone with the incredible talent that Amy had but we all know drunks and junkies and they all need help and the help is out there. All they have to do is pick up the phone and make the call. Or not. Either way, there will be a phone call.”
- Russell Brand, “For Amy”.
I know the addiction well and I too was extremely sad to hear of her passing last week. I know there are other great tragedies in the world but it’s always sad to lose someone with some talent at such a young age.

One of my quote posters was recently featured on Four Leaf Clover! Eva posts blog entries on her love for animals, the environment, and helping those in need. Her blog is full of positive energy and I’m so excited that my work made it’s way into it’s pages. :)
For my Advance Typography class I’m taking this semster we have to keep a sketchbook strictly for drawing type. Honeslty I could be more happy. Every week we have to watch tv, watch a movie, listen to music, listen to people talking or whatever we like and then turn what we hear into a drawing. I grabbed this quote while watching Remember Me (which was surpringly very depressing). Technically it’s a quote within a quote but nevertheless good words to live by.
