A friend of mine texted me a drawing of a bunny a few years ago. For some reason, this bunny made her think of me.

It might be because I was born in the year of the rabbit, I love bunnies. Especially the violent bunnies disguised in cute little faces like the one in a Monty Python movie are hard to resist. I had to find out whoever drew this bunny who tries to threaten the Santa Clause, and that was how I discovered Sebastien Millon and his other cute (and deadly) creatures.

Edward Gorey

When I lived near San Antonio, Texas, McNay Art Museum was one of my favorite places to visit. Amazingly, the museum's collection started as a private collection of Marion Koogler who left 700 pieces of artwork and a Spanish colonial-style mansion on a 23 acre lot to be the foundation of the first modern art museum in the region after her death. In addition to the permanent collection which grew close to 20,000, the museum hosts numerous exhibitions year-round.

Personally, the most memorable exhibition was the work of Edward Gorey.

To be honest, I did not even know the artist when I went to the exhibition. However, being a fan of pen and ink illustrations, it took me no time to be drawn into Gorey's beautifully detailed surreal art. The exhibition shared Gorey's works from his famous books as well as more personal items such as illustrated envelopes he sent to his family members.
