Caitlin Hackett's Contemporary Mythology

Take a quick peek into the world of Caitlin Hackett and you'll be dazzled by all of the mystical creatures. Combining her love for cats, folklore, cryptids and Dungeons & Dragons, Caitlin was destined to become an artist.

"My passion for the natural world has inspired my art since I first put pencil to paper as a child," the Oakland-based artist said in a statement.

Her paintings and sketches are like dreams (or nightmares), and I could stare at them for hours.

"As I have grown I have combined my love for animals with my interest in both wildlife biology and mythology to create artwork that speaks to the current biological mythos that constructs the barrier between what is considered Human, and what is considered Animal," she added.

Aside from her website, you can also peruse Caitlin's work by visiting her Society6 shop.

It's Beautiful, But Also Could Explode

Ah, Taal Lake. Admirable, breathtaking, a perfect postcard of tranquility. And then you remember. Oh right, there's a volcano inside the lake, inside an island, inside another body of water. It's like an Inception movie directed by mother nature, and frankly, I'm pretty sure she's just messing with us at this point.

Why Walking is Basically Magic

I like walking. It's really convenient and no fancy equipment is required. You can do it anywhere, anytime. It's also good for my heart and can somehow untangle the chaotic mess that is my brain. It's meditative, allowing my thoughts to flow freely and my anxieties to melt away. Whether it's a short stroll through your neighborhood or a long vigorous hike in the countryside, this TED-Ed video explains why walking is lauded as a cure for everything from boredom to slightly-too-tight jeans.
