Back to the old black lines ;)

The countdown begins!
Monday we are leaving on vacation!!! We are heading to Akumal and then to Xcalac- a tiny town at the border with Belice. I'm pretty excited about this. We'll be diving and relaxing at the beach!! Sorry if I'm making you jealous!

But anyway, I have decided to make a challenge for myself: one drawing per day! until we get back to Merida... That will be interesting! :P

Last weekend my boyfriend and I celebrated 2 years together :) we were planning on going to get a romantic lunch, visit a museum and then get a beer. But as always, nothing went as planned. The coffee place was closed, we had breakfast at another venue, the tropical storm started and the museum was being used for an event so it was closed for the public as well.. so we ended up drinking beer at an Irish Pub watching the euro cup at 2pm haha. We then went to the city centre to have dinner, but somehow we weren't feeling that great. Back at home we collapsed in bed feeling swollen and took a nap. It wasn't until 11pm or something that we were feeling normal again and watched a series... so yeah a pretty romantic sunday ;)

My other drawing is just some crazy idea I got. After drawing it I guess it has a bit of Alice in Wonderland feeling, so I wrote a quote of the book in her dress. I decided to bring colour onto it, and I guess i'm pleased about the result! I'm also working on a baby-card project, but of course I can't disclose those pictures until baby is born :)

A kind-of valentine's post

So tomorrow is Valentine's day. For the last 5 years I have related this date to one of the most epic fails of parties at Uilenstede (student complex in a'dam) and yet I attended many of these Valentines Day Parties (yes alcohol did influence my choice).
Today I decided to post some sketches that I did thinking about 2 things:
The friends I love and the guy I love. And yes i know this day is waaaay overrated, but heh, just a good reason to write cheesy stuff right? ;)

Thank you friends for being there through thick and thin and through that dark dark moment a few months ago. i'm glad I've met everyone of you- old ones who I lost track of as well as new ones :)
And yeah, cheesy as it is: love you boyfriend!

Ok, let's get that sweet sticky honey away from the screen in order to see my non-conventional Valentine's sketches buahaha! The second one I tried taking it B/W but many details were lost, so yeah, you'll have to bear this picture without nice frame.

Still on a thesis break

Trying to finish my thesis, so I haven't been making many complete sketches. Most of them are still pencil.

But working again on my research reminded me of other sketches made in Spain. Some new ideas inspired by mood swings. Hope you like!
