Hi Reader! How's your week going?

​

I'm always adding to my collection of things from around the internet that made me feel touched and/or inspired.

(The collection box being my photo gallery 😅)

I thought I’d share a few recents in case you needed a bit of inspiration, distraction, or delight.

🐶 This really beautiful animation

hollywarbs

afraid, but facing it . . . guitar is a track called ‘plus’ from the album ‘pas chassé’ by loyalty freak music. I combined it with audio recordings from my phone. you can find ‘plus’ on Bandcamp.#animation

Captioned "afraid, but facing it", this heartwarming sequence of animated drawings is by British illustrator Holly Warburton.

I absolutely love this little chihuahua. Bracing against the wind on their big adventures across many strange worlds. I felt really connected to this 🥺

I love this sketchy animation style too.

It's really interesting how the dog is on a leash in every single picture. It makes me think there is something always keeping them company, but from a distance.

🎧 Royalty-free music

I was curious about the music in that video, so I looked it up.

The specific track is "plus" from the album "Pas chassé".

It's from French composer Rrrrrose and her project Loyalty Freak Music.

I thought this was a really cool collection. She has over 200 royalty-free albums with electronic stuff, weird noise stuff, lofi, acoustic, and more. And invites you to do literally whatever you want with it!

🎮 A retro OST

This new album from Satin Sheets is DELICIOUS.

S.WORLD • Satin Sheets THEME • Satin Sheets PREVIEW   ​

S.WORLD is a fake video game soundtrack that explores various retro electronic sounds including vaporwave, DnB, jungle etc.

And there's a lot in here, it's 49 mins long!!

Love the world-building in the cover art too, it's really fun and colourful. It's by Maria Vorobjova.

My fav track is "OPUS".

​

📚 Fantasy romance at its best

Ok... this book is technically not out yet 😅

I'm talking about "Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die", the debut novel from author and illustrator Greer Stothers.

I've been following Greer on Tumblr for years and literally watched them write this entire book.

I felt so inspired watching them go from just trying out fiction writing for fun...

to getting it out in the world and published, despite no experience of how to do so!

I found it really insightful following someone already established in one creative industry (illustration) as they tried to "break into" another.

You can read a snippet of the book here, if you like!

​

That's all from me today. If you've found something recently that you wanna share, I'd love to hear about it.

​

Take care,

Damon
