Cicada, a beautiful illustration series by the talented Shaun Tan.

Cicada is the story of an insect working in an office (much like a lot of us), and trying to make it through the day surrounded by people who simply do not care. Shaun Tan writes on his website that Cicada is, "a very simple 32-page picture book about the unspoken horrors of corporate white-collar enslavement... or is it? You never can tell what a bug is thinking."

Here are 10 pages of Cicada and we're already itching for more!

Welcome to the American bestiary catalog! A catalog full of animals, birds, and other interesting natural (or sometimes imaginary) phenomena. 

According to this 12th century author, the purpose of bestiary is "to improve the minds of ordinary people, in such a way that the soul will at least perceive physically things which it has difficulty grasping mentally: that what they have difficulty comprehending with their ears, they will perceive with their eyes."

Thanks to CashNetUSA, for assembling all the greatest mythical creatures within the US, and illustrating them so wonderfully! 

If you're living in the US, share what mythical creature your state is famous for!

Artist Yash Pandit has shared illustrations of how his cat, Bagheera, has helped him with his depression. 

And all we can say is that cat's are pretty magical creatures. They're comforting and loving, their purrs calm our souls, their sweet faces slowly blinking at you... you can't help but feel something warm stir within you, when you have a cat.  

Thank you for sharing Yash Pandit! 

We just love this Instagram page, filled with illustrations, stories and doodles about this lovely duo.  

Just when we thought we've seen it all when it comes to pet shaming! Cats being shamed, dogs, bunnies, and even chickens!
