30 Day Drawing Challenge: My Favorite Animal

Firstly: Chalk pastel is surprisingly difficult. I tried.
This is a whale shark. It is a shark, not a whale. (It just looks remarkably like one.) However, it has gills, not lungs, and a vertical tail (aquatic mammals' tails are always horizontal). They have thousands and thousands of teeny teeth and can live up to around 150 years.

Anyway.

Secondly: My sisters, Grace and Zola, made a puppet show version of the Lord of the Rings. I filmed Grace's version of the Fellowship of the Ring, and it's fantastic (not to mention hilarious). But it's also prodigiously long. So here's a trailer we made for it:
 


Thirdly: I drink way too much tea (to the point, I think it's safe to say, of addiction) and I decided to actually read the back of the Lipton tea bag for once:

"You're not only taking care of yourself but you are doing a little bit more to support tea growers." Wow. I bet when my dad bought a box of tea at the supermarket, he never dreamed he'd be supporting tea growers.
