Studio Ghibli Inspired Art

I’m looking out of my window and the sun is glistening away, the sky is super clear and the weather is just beautiful- spring is here saying hello to us all. It’s nice to watch the world go by through my attic window, or should I say, looking at how still my surroundings are. Despite the lockdown, I’m beginning to appreciate what it means to have our freedom restricted; I’m so used to going out that the thought of being cooped in for three weeks is getting me down. I’ve decided to use this time instead to channel it into my artwork and the first thing that popped into my head was Studio Ghibli. For ages, I’ve always wanted to do some fan art and now is the time to start it!

It’s my own mish-mash of our cats and Studio Ghibli- I think they work rather well together! I’m planning on doing some more next week as it’s been quite fun to do something to take my mind off things. Also, NTS Radio have three shows dedicated to the beautiful music of Studio Ghibli if you’re looking for some serene and gentle music to pass the time away. If that’s not enough you should definitely listen to Ghibliotheque which is a podcast dedicated to all things Ghibli. They had a talk a few weeks ago at The Moth Club in Hackney which was Z-A of Studio Ghibli (I can’t seem to find the podcast for it though). That said, Netflix have the whole catalogue online now so binge away everyone!

On that note, I’m going to end my post here with some music from Joe Hisaishi-  this has to be one of my favourite tracks. This is from My Neighbour Totoro ‘Path of the Wind’ (I walked down the aisle to this!!!).

Keep safe everyone xx

    Hi everyone, I’m Alex from Romania. I wanna tell you about my insane experience with this
    crazy popular online casino I stumbled on a few weeks ago.

    To be honest, I was living paycheck to paycheck, and now I can’t believe it myself — I cashed out €384,000 playing mostly sports bets!

    Now I’m thinking of getting a new car here in Split,
    and investing a serious chunk of my winnings into Toncoin.

    Later I’ll probably move to a better neighborhood and build my own startup.

    Now I’m going by Nikola from Serbia because I honestly feel like a new person. My life is
    flipping upside down in the best way.

    Let’s be honest, what would you guys do if you had this kinda luck?
    Are you jealous right now?

    For real, I never thought I’d get out of debt. It’s all
    happening so fast!

    Drop your thoughts below!

    Hi everyone, I’m Alex from Romania. I wanna tell you
    about my insane experience with this crazy popular online casino I stumbled on last month.

    To be honest, I was super poor, and now I can’t believe
    it myself — I hit £590,000 playing mostly crazy time!

    Now I’m thinking of taking my dream vacation and buying a house
    here in Split, and investing a serious chunk of my winnings into Toncoin.

    Later I’ll probably move to a better neighborhood
    and retire early.

    Now I’m going by Nikola from Serbia because I honestly feel
    like a new person. My life is flipping upside down in the
    best way.

    Be real, what would you guys do if you had this kinda luck?

    Hi, I just wanted to say thank you how powerful this
    post is. Health-related struggles often go unnoticed, especially when it comes to vision problems.

    Too often, people ignore the early signs or simply can’t
    access proper treatment in time. I recently came across a campaign at a trusted vision fundraiser site where a young woman is trying
    to raise funds for an urgent eye operation. Her story was so honest, and it reminded me of how easily anyone could
    be in her place.

    The truth is, we often take our eyesight for granted — until something happens.
    And when it does, the emotional and financial toll is massive.

    That’s why communities and blogs like this are so important.

    They give us a space to share, and hopefully, they
    inspire action.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether a small donation makes a difference — it does.
    Whether it’s $5 or $50, every bit counts. Or if you can’t contribute
    financially, even posting someone’s fundraiser can help them reach their goal.

    I hope more people will support efforts like these.
    Let’s keep spreading kindness and helping those who
    need it most. If anyone would like to learn more or support someone’s vision recovery,
    I highly recommend visiting HelpMyEyes.com. Thank you again for this great opportunity.

    In February, Brisbane mum Samantha Barry’s world was flipped upside down with a shock diagnosis she never saw coming.

    At only 32 years old, the successful interior designer with
    a passion for creativity was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer – despite having no family history and living what she describes as
    a ‘very healthy lifestyle’. 

    As the rates of bowel cancer skyrocket among Australians aged 25-44, Sammy is sharing her
    story, symptoms and words of advice to support Bowel Cancer Awareness Month and assist in finding some form of solution. 

    Before her shock diagnosis, Sammy was working full-time and
    enjoying life as a wife and mum to her 16-month-old daughter Freddie
    and their ‘second child’ – a three-year-old Australian Shepherd named Ned. 

    ‘My lifestyle is healthy. I felt healthy,’ she told FEMAIL. 

    ‘I would go to Pilates every week, we eat well, I don’t binge drink.
    I’ve never smoked a cigarette.’ 

    Originally from Melbourne, Sammy and her husband met on the dancefloor
    at an Irish pub when she was just 22, and the rest is
    history. 

    After six months of dating, she followed him back to Queensland, where he’s originally from, to start a life
    together. 

    In February, Brisbane mum Samantha Barry’s world was flipped upside down with
    a shock diagnosis she never saw coming

    At only 32 years old, the successful interior designer with a passion for creativity
    was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer – despite
    having no family history and living what she describes as a ‘very healthy
    lifestyle’ 

    He was also the first person Sammy called in a panic when she noticed ‘something was wrong, really wrong.’ 

    ‘I was at work, and I noticed that there was some blood in my stools,’ she said. 

    ‘I hadn’t noticed that ever before, or I just hadn’t realised, but [it was] the first
    time that I’d really noticed it. 

    ‘I called my husband from the toilet cubicle in my office, and I just said to
    him, “I just have this terrible feeling about it”.’ 

    Sammy burst into tears in front of her boss and then called to book in at her GP within the
    hour to find out what was going on. 

    ‘My GP is amazing. Every specialist I’ve seen has praised how incredible
    she was to take me seriously first of all and referred me straight away,’ she said. 

    Her GP warned that her one symptom could be something as serious as cancer,
    but it could also just be haemorrhoids – which are very
    common among new mums. 

    What followed was a full colonoscopy, which Sammy said was her saving grace as surprisingly ‘a
    lot of people don’t get referred straight away, and have to really advocate
    for themselves’. 

    Other symptoms of bowel cancer, like extreme tiredness, are often overlooked in young mums too.
    This was something Sammy had been experiencing, but put it down to
    sleepless nights with her daughter Freddie

    Other symptoms of bowel cancer, like extreme tiredness, are often overlooked in young mums too.
    This was something Sammy had been experiencing, but put it
    down to sleepless nights with her daughter Freddie. 

    Sammy’s colonoscopy results were shocking – a four-centimetre tumour and a polyp
    were discovered in her bowel. It was February 19th, her husband’s birthday. 

    ‘Before the big surgery, [the surgeon] said, “If you wake up and I’m not there, then it’s all good. But, if I’m there, then it’s something more serious and I’ll talk to you about it”,
    ‘ she recalled.

    The experts knew Sammy’s condition was serious, but
    until the official biopsy results came back, they still didn’t
    have all the answers, especially knowing what stage her cancer was at. 

    In just a few weeks, she was booked in for a lower bowel resection surgery, a major operation to remove the tumour as well as the surrounding lymph nodes. 

    Three days later, the surgeon told Sammy that her cancer
    was worryingly at stage four and, after recovery from surgery, she’d face
    six months of chemotherapy. 

    Twelve gruelling rounds, every two weeks.

    ‘My cancer is quite aggressive,’ Sammy said.

    With unwavering support from her loving husband, family, and in-laws, who have all rallied around her
    during this life-changing time, Sammy remains fiercely
    optimistic.

    a major operation to remove the tumour as well
    as the surrounding lymph nodes

    ‘Chemo is quite full-on, because I feel really crappy for seven days, and
    then I feel almost normal for seven days. So, I try and make the most of my good weeks,
    ‘ she said. 

    One of her biggest comforters is her dog, Ned.

    ‘He’s been really sweet throughout my treatment. He just
    comes and cuddles with me all day when I’m
    feeling sick, it’s so sweet. It’s like they [dogs] just know when you’re not feeling well,’ she said.

    In a bid to preserve her fertility, Sammy also went through
    two back-to-back rounds of egg-freezing before
    her chemo started. 

    ‘We wanted to grow our family this year and had to put that on hold.
    So we decided to do embryo freezing, which [the experts]
    recommended for us,’ she said.

    Three days later, the surgeon told Sammy that her cancer was worryingly at stage four and, after recovery from surgery, she’d
    face six months of chemotherapy. Her dog Ned (pictured), has been by her side through every treatment

    Once treatment is complete, Sammy plans to launch her
    own interior design firm and is dreaming of a family holiday to Japan to celebrate a new chapter
