A Logo/Banner for Robocat Confectionary

Logo/banner I created for Robocat Confectionary: “musings on music, photography and vegan confections” by miss Joanna Rooney. The cat is pushing a vegan cupcake in his mouse. And if you are wondering if I am a vegan, the answer is no. I am a beast. I eat everything and anything. I do work on eating [...]

Organic Restaurants In NYC – The List

When I look for a place to eat, most of the time, I start by going through the organic places, see if there is anything close to where I will be.

Budget That! Free Simple Budget Planner

My First Cardboard Furniture
