Best birthday wishes to illustrators, printmaker, comics creator, letterpress crafts person and painter Audrey Niffenegger. Oh, and she also turns out the occasional fabulous novel!

I hear Raven Girl the ballet is coming back to the Royal Opera House in October, so be sure to snatch up tickets, it's one of the best ballets I've ever seen and so evocative of the original prints and story it's based on.
