I love this little film about London-based illustrator Rob Ryan. He shares a lot of my idealistic philosophies. Love is paramount. People are good. The world is beautiful. We are all connected.
And listening to him, I realised that my real dream in life is to get to a place where I share his job description. A luxury, of course, that requires doing really, really good, heartfelt work.
My job is to look and think and reflect the world, as I see it. My job is always to be looking at stuff and always be thinking and always be kind of open and be a conduit.
And a big part of my work is about seeing and appreciating the beauty in the everyday and to make people see how beautiful the world is and how beautiful their lives are.
The picture above is a limited edition print from Rob's picture book A Sky Full of Kindness. You can buy it from his Etsy store here.
"We are all the same people we were when we were children. We're just bigger and pretend that we're not."

I'd love to own a print of his one day... Until then I have to content myself with printing them off the computer and putting them in small frames. Still beautiful and a daily reminder of just how exquisitely beautiful life can be.
