“What is Creative Mondays?
Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.
So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”
Just this morning the Curiosity rover successfully touched down on the surface of Mars after a journey of almost 570 million km. A pretty spectacular feat and one that was even captured by an orbiting satellite! Despite the NASA shuttle missions finishing there’s still some great exploring going on and I’m always inspired to see the next step in our quest to learn more about our neighbouring planets. I went searching for some decent ‘curiosity’ quotes and found this gem by Anatole France a Nobel Prize winner in literature. I love it’s simple and clear messaging and I can’t wait to hear about what the latest rover discovers.
The image I used for this piece was found on the stock.xchng site and edited slightly to remove any plant-life and add a red tone. It can be found here. I created the Curiosity rover in Illustrator from reference images I found on the web.
