ALPACA FACES :)

My new favorite animal. A fluffy Alpaca. That fluffy face and big brown eyes are to die for. I also love their figure, there's something about the proportions (when they are not completely trimmed down).

BEARDED PIGS

Wow, these are new to me! Bearded pigs. Incredible breed.

HOSPITAL MIGUEL BOMBARDA

Hospital Miguel Bombarda, was a psychiatric hospital in Lisbon (it closed in 2011, and is now a museum). The building itself is a panopticon - an institutional building that allows a single watchman to observe all cells at once. Very creepy and fascinating concept...
As soon as I entered the center of the circular structure, I lost complete track of the way out.

YUJI TSUJI

Yuji Tsuji, a japanese outsider artist, loves to look down at a city from a tall building. When he comes home, he rebuilds what he remembers, and draws the rest from his imagination. He doesn't bother to use eraser. One drawing can take him 2-3 months to finish.

This one says 'Emma, 3rd grade'...
