take shelter in a satsuma...

With three family birthdays this week and Christmas only nine days away, my house looks like Santa' grotto. Except in his grotto I'm sure everything would already be wrapped and organised. Here chaos reigns.

So today I'm keeping it short and sweet and sharing the work of the Canadian illustrator Maruti Bitamin.

Given the fact that I never eat fruit or vegetables , the fact that my favourite illustrations are the ones that feature lots of fruit and veg, will give Queen Michelle and Grande Empresse Gillian a major chuckle.

I'm afraid I can tell you almost nothing about her. You can follow her instagram here and purchase prints direct from her website.

Now if you will excuse me, I have to go do some chores for my mum and then head out there to do do more Christmas shopping. Pray for me...
