I hate you arty farty people, including you, Aaron! Aaron sketched out a model from a previous ad campaign, told me to guess who it was and I could have sworn it was Anja Rubik but well I was wrong – it’s Angela Lindvall in a Chloe F/W 2003 campaign. Despite my mistake, I must say Angela looks like Anja in the photo! It’s a lovely drawing, Aaron so shut up, stop bitching and sketch out more!

Yeah tea noir is back with a new layout. I got rid of the old magazine-ish inspired layout because it wasn’t very “me”. Being trained in webdesign has made me appreciate layouts with beautiful grids but I’ve always had this vision (ooh big word) of tea noir being a casual, less-structured site with free-flowing entries. I’ve also made it more personal by adding some of my webdesign trademarks i.e patterns, textures. I’m still figuring out whether the alignment/color of certain elements fit together but whatever, I’m happy with this for now. Changes can always be made periodically anyway ;D
