I got a new camera for Christmas, and I start my first lampworking class on February 2nd, so things are looking good artistically for me.

I am very into old/antique maps lately. I bought a book, New Worlds: Maps from the Age of Discovery [link] that contains 120 maps from 1485 to 1900. It's really amazing.

My other favorite conceptual things I've been very into for a while are old zoological prints/diagrams and old or abandoned greenhouses. I found a cool photograph of an abandoned greenhouse here on dA this evening: [link]
