I am drawing. Not as much as I hoped, but I am. My style is going through a mutation. Nothing drastic, but I can already see it. So I am having a sale of some of my earlier drawings on Etsy. The...

I just love when I find an image that completely embodies my state of mind. I prefer it to be illustration, but it's time to let that pipe dream go ( I mean a dream that I will have 3 new il...

I've been listening to Ben Howard a lot lately and specially this song. Feeling very sentimental. Nothing much more to say there.

This illustration is a pretty accurate description of how I feel today although I made it on Sunday with a completely different post. Which begs the question: Am I psychic? Or were things si...

This outfit is like my perfect outfit at the moment. Down to the last detail... tone of hair color, make up, the texture of the sweater, drawing of the owl. It's feminine but not girly. ...

 Good news or bad news first? Good news is that I am in such a creative phase you wouldn't believe. I know that look of the blog doesn't really reflect that at the moment, but trust me it...

Here is an important piece of information about me: I have had bad skin almost my entire life. Actually that sounds wrong because at this point I don't feel like my skin is doing something t...
