thinking...

there are a few things I want to achieve through my summer, one of which is to muse who and what I want to be as an illustrator. 

I'm kind of hoping not to end up with a definitive answer, but to specify things to myself slightly, and indulge in some creativity.. 

I have been looking at flowery tattoos recently, and love the style of this album cover for Joni Mitchell's Song To A Seagull. The typography is clever and interesting, as is the colour usage, and integration of bold curvy,and loose pale lines. There is a beautiful freeness in this image that i'd like to capture in my own work.
