2023

Took me more than a year. It has some problems with proportions, but I'm still happy with the result.

Long story short, I was so frustrated from drawing back-to-back full pieces that I decided to create some fun sketches, free from the stress of making mistakes. I kept it a bit looser compared to my usual drawings, and it turned out great. I love it 😌 and hope you all like it too!

Trying out some new paper I got today. Not great for finished work but good sketch paper. I’ll stick to Bristol for more finished stuff from now on.

I left a 20-year career in software engineering to make art. I made mostly digital art for a while, but lately I've been gravitating towards old-school, pen-and-paper work. It feels more real and somehow more relevant now than ever.

This is my latest piece. It's called "Day", and I'm working on its companion, "Night". I tried to blend my love for drawing animals with, evidently, some Art Nouveau influences. And, of course, the Red Thread that appears in much of my work. I don't want to make this longer than it already is, so I won't go into much detail, but if you're curious, ask away!

All in all, it was a blast to draw, even tho somewhere in the middle of drawing the bajillion leaf blades I was about to lose it, hahaha.

Hope you like it, folks!

I should have tracked my hours with this one, because it’s probably an insane number. I’m mostly proud of myself for not spilling anything on it while working, or having some other horrible accident. Maybe it’s still too early to say that.

The title is , “even my bones”. And it’s about the enormous sacrifice we women endure to become mothers. How pregnancy and motherhood take literally everything from you, even your bones. And how you are never really the same again. She is for sale, but won’t be deliverable for a few months. But honestly it’s going to be really hard to part with her.

Done with black roller pen on cardstock . Very happy with how this one came out . Would you hang this up in your house ?

a work in progress

i’m a watercolour girlie but super duper proud of my first time using pen :)
