NYC Marathon

This weekend I took a great trip down to Baltimore, but I was sad to miss the New York Marathon. Sure it might be a traffic nightmare, but there's something inspiring about that many people crossing the finish line. Fortunately, New York Times "Abstract Sunday" artist Christopher Niemann provided me with a colorful illustration of the event. He sketched the race as he ran! I can't even imagine finishing the 26.2 miles, much less drawing the event.

Readers would you run a marathon?

My sweet sorority lineage gave me a basket of goodies as a graduation present, and hidden amongst candles, candy and wine glasses was this fun book of cocktails. Even more than the drink recipies, I loved the whimsical illustrations by Kat Macleod.Wouldn't they look lovely in simple black frames?
