Blooms of Nigeria - Flower for Margret
Blooms of Nigeria is a project set up by Rebecca Bradley and Janna Morton
to draw attention to the abducted Nigerian School Girls and make the
issue more visible.
I made this flower for Margret. She's one of the abducted girls.
The Blooms of Nigeria website will be filled with tribute illustrations commissioned for each of the 180 kidnapped Nigerian girls whose names are currently available to the public. Nearly 300 young women are still missing. A summary of what has happened can be found here. Let's hope to get this flower garden out into the world.
If you wanna help, please share this post. The more people know about this issue,
the better! Thanks in advance!!

Europe: 12 points
Yesterday there was the Annual Eurovision Song Contest.
This year we have a very special winner:
Conchita Wurst is a Singer from Austria. In normal life it's a man, but on stage he performs as the bearded lady. She wants to make a statement to the world: it doesn't matter if you are man, woman, gay or straight, just be who you are. Let's live in peace together...
I'm very happy she won with this statement. it's promising. Yay for Europe! You can listen to her song here. It gave me goose pimpels. Also fun to tell the Netherlands were second.

selfie: word of the year
In Holland we choose the word of the year.
A word which is new and used a lot during that year
This year it is the word 'selfie', a bit strange because it's almost an english word...
But also the meaning of the word is a bit funny, I think.
People are taking pictures of themselves and place them on social media.
I'm often surprised when I see people in the middle of the street,
suddenly stand still to take a 'selfie' of themselves.
Redo their hair and looking in the camera with an appealing smile
They don't seem to notice their environment.
that surprises me and makes me smile :-)
I wonder what new words and phenomenons will pop up next year...

Nelson Mandela
Yesterday Nelson Mandela died. I have to think a lot about him.
I wanted to make a drawing to honour him.
He has done so many good things for the world.
May he rest in peace...

rebelling liberals
"Nivelleren is een feest"
Illustration today on Illustration Daily
("income leveling is enjoyable"), said the leader of the social democrats
last week in the Netherlands about the new government plans.
The voters of the liberal party (VVD) were not amused ...
