I've spent so many heaps of Valentine's Days expressing affinity, affection, and honest adoration for so many much-loved humans. I've celebrated sweet Oscar-dog. I've baked and I've crafted, I've dined and I've gifted... But this year I'm going to do something different - this year I'm going to give good St. Valentine a whole week's worth of lovin, and rather than direct it all at one heart, I'm starting with my own extravagance and inviting anyone who cares to follow. The twist - my crush this year is actually a place, and in an effort to honor it (and indulge in it's most inspiring effect on me) I will devote a little time out of every day this week (through Sunday) to pop in... and love the stuffing out of it. I'll share a taste of each delicious visit right here. It's going to be great... you see - I heart Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology, and from what I can tell, it hearts me right back. Let the natural history love-fest begin!

What a neat venue! You make certainly make me want to visit Harvard's MCZ someday. Looks like an awesome place to do some sketching! Your work is beautiful.

Thanks Christina! The museum IS a phenomenal place to sketch - if you're ever in the Boston/Cambridge area, please contact me - I'd be happy to have a drawing buddy for an afternoon!
