This is the sleek minimalist work of Spanish Art Deco illustrator Eduardo Garcia Benito. His work is so paired down it makes my head spin. I'm also very interested in the colour palette he used which I don't think anyone these days would ever dream of using. I forget sometimes that colour in art is as much an indicator of it's place in time as the actual image itself.
Meanwhile, it is super humid and hot in Sydney today. Actually, it's been that way all week. Still, it's nothing to grumble about - I hear the floods have engulfed poor Brisbane. My thoughts go out to those poor people up there. Fingers crossed it all starts subsiding soon.....and here's that link again for the Queensland Flood Relief Appeal. Gorgeous blog Wee Birdy has some other ways you can help out too.

Love those images!
Thanks so much for your sweet messages on my blog Sam. It means so much! I was due back at work on Wednesday and um...my time-off has been extended. Wish it was under happier circumstances. Where I live is ok though and places that my family are scattered around Brisbane are ok. Lots of great community spirit happening around the place and everyone is helping out those in need. I've been voluteering with the clean-ups and boy is it stinky! None of us were prepared for how putrid the water was going to be. I've never been so grateful for showers in all my life! So all is ok. Food supplies are an issue but it's not something I'm going to stress about until I really need to. Can stretch out what I have on hand for a good week. Easy peasy. I'm truly one of the lucky Qlders compared to most :) xo
