Very Excited

Hello Everyone!

Well today I'm quite excited for three reasons:

1. Tomorrow is my last full day in Cartagena and I'll be celebrating with the colleagues of the uni and the project at a mexican restaurant, which is always great! :D I have also almost finished packing and my bag is not overweight! Yay!

2. In May I'll be going back to Mexico with my boyfriend, we'll be there for 4 months and we were looking for a house, and we found an AMAZING place! its beautiful! So I'm sure I'll also be very inspired to draw more there :)

3. One of the most important reasons I'm excited is the drawings I want to show you today!

First the Crab-House!!! The inspiration came because Sorada was one night telling me about my horoscope sign (which is obviously cancer) and she knows many fun details! One of them is the fact that Cancerians tend to be very "housey" so i decided to portray that as a crab taking his home everywhere, because I guess she is right. I do love to make people feel welcome at my house and I can stay a whole day at home being happy haha.

The second is a sketch and the final piece of a Night-Creature. I have been toying around with the idea of a star as hat and then when buying a children's book i found one about mexican legends and the deer is a very important being. So hence the idea. I might have overdone it with the spirals leaving her hand.. but it had to be a bit magic!  (and it was looking a bit mononoke princess again- yeah love that movie)

 

Finally I was able to make my cat related drawing for my friend Sorada. She has two cats Bruce and Bibi and Sorada herself is a very strong woman and very intelligent researcher. So I wanted her to look cool and like queen of the world haha. The poem on the dress is about a a kitten from E. Farjeon.
