All smiles, no frowns.

Always smiling.

I feel too many people frown (I know I do). Maybe it's because of work, they don't enjoy what they are doing and wish for a change, or someone they dislike is annoying them, or perhaps they are just having a bad day;  there are many things that can cause us to frown. I'm not a psychologist, but we should all start to relax a little, breathe in a few times and look at the world and smile. It really is a beautiful place, a place we should be protecting and treating as our home (which it is, remember?).

Take for example this Gypsy, this is his "job", to play the accordion for spare change. Still, he manages to smile and be thankful, much more than some people who have it all.

Take from it what you will, but I feel we just need to be a little less self-absorbed, stop taking selfies and counting "likes" for a minute, and look at what is around you. You will be surprised.

Cyan Tower

Canadian National Tower.

It's nice to go downtown every once in a while, usually when summer has past, as it's much cooler and less crowded.

The amount of times people don't look up though is amazing, and by forgetting to do so you will miss out on all the interesting details. Sure you might want to be window shopping or battling inside in a mall, but slow down once in a while and look upwards... there's plenty of rich architecture to see.

If you look to the left, you will see the Canadian National tower, more commonly know as the CN Tower (everyone loves an abbreviation). The 3rd tallest tower in the world- not bad you might say, and if you are daring enough you can go walking around the outside. Knock yourself out and live all those Tom Cruise 'Mission Impossible' fantasies, or if you are not brave enough, do a Drake and superimpose yourself on the top.

Let's do this the British way.

The proper British way.

So much has been said and heard about the UK Referendum over the last few days. Yes, we voted out and it was not the decision the public anticipated or wanted, but let's respect that vote. After all, it is still a democracy, isn't it?

Anyway, here is a poster to sum up my feelings about "Brexit".

Anything can be made right over a nice cup of tea, and some biscuits on the side help exponentially.

Could you?

Penguins are cute.

This was part of a series I made to highlight how one would feel if their favourite car, book, or soft drink would disappear and compare it to their respective mascots.

I could have gone the easy route with the Penguin Books cover by finding a template and taking it from there. Instead, I used Illustrator to create everything from scratch - why not?!
