Hands and Feet
A glimpse into my sketchbook. Studies from reference is the artist equivalent of eating my veggies. -
I went all the way down on my tumblr
Here’s some old art from 2017 or so. I had a short but intense coloured pencil phase 🙂
And maybe I should start making gifs of rain and steaming mugs agin… so Tumblr!

A new beginning. Again.
While the world is burning online and offline, there’s a rising Indie Web movement of decentralised websites and I’m so here for it.
For years I thought how cool it would be if people used their own space again. Without censorship or data collection without our consent – for art and small moments!I don’t know where the past years went
I fell into a two-year creative block, followed by pushing out of it so hard that mental and physical burnout hit me in july. I kept making art while barely functioning otherwise and now… now I finally feel like a lot of things in my life fall into place again. A good point to rethink my online activities, my relationship with art and where the internet is actually still enjoyable.
Lackadaisy bedtime reread
Through Youtube I discovered that there is a crowdfunded indie animation adapation of this amazing old webcomic set in 1920s America during prohibition but the characters are all cats.
Here is the webcomic if you don’t know it. Sadly there’s only the pilot so far but they are working on a first season. In the meantime I’m rereading!Some new creative endeavors:
Talking about animation and comics, I started learning animation basics with a run cycle in july for this collab and enjoy drawing and thinking about my Original Characters a lot, trying to finally get my story ideas going. Might post some comic pages one day. We’ll see 🙂
Here’s to finding balance, making art, finding smaller, more indipendent spaces and embracing the little things in life again that still exist but often get lost in the mess!

Reading Light
I’ll call it my burnout picture. On July (?) burnout hit me so hard that I thought it was sunday and I simply didn’t go to work (to my 9-to-5)
I had felt it coming for months and ignored it, kept pushing out of the long creative block, struggled with brainfog and impaired perception of time (like forgetting what weekday it was).
After that incident I called in sick, ignored all responsibilities and made only comfort art for three weeks. (sick leave, then annual vacation – the irony).And now? Now I’m back to juggling my energy levels between the day job and treating my own projects like a job until it is my job.

Subway
After the first in this “modern AU” series of Arik, my own character I started imagining him in more modern day scenarios, always an outsider, a quiet observer but still a part of society like everybody else.
