My friend Mashi is raising funds to help prevent dogs in Thailand from being smuggled away and sold as food.

She'll be selling this sketch with her sketchbook in auction starting at SGD$100.

You can bid for this on Facebook for a good cause.

東京スカイツリーの壁画（隅田川デジタル絵巻）

This is one gigantic mural. Watch until the 1:30 mark for the surprise.

In an attempt to make the blog more dangerous to you guys, especially your wallets and credit cards, I'll be featuring some artbook reviews from fellow Amazon reviewer Robin Benson.

He was art director in magazine publishing but has since retired. He reviews mostly books on photography, graphic design and printing. I'll be featuring some of his reviews which are more related to illustrative art. Just like me, he posts many helpful photos of the books.

If you're interested in graphic design and print, do check out his blog Past Print.

This is ebru as they say in Turkish, or paper marbling in English.
