…that illustrations just magically appear on paper, that we could materialize them with the mere will of our thoughts. Wouldn’t that be great and time saving also? Well, on rare occasions I wish that could happen, but most of the time I enjoy process of drawing and creating and don’t want to speed it up!
Since I missed taking photos on a daily basis I started another 365 project on flickr last Saturday. One of the reasons for taking up this project was to get a better use of my 50 mm lens. I also decided to focus on self-portraits this time (I’ve already finished one 365 project this Spring) .
Here are the pictures from my first week:
001/365: another one
002/365: gaze
003/365: into the woods
004/365: an offering
005/365: little world
006/365: by a tree
007/365: mobile home
Ooops, it happened to me again, I got so busy in my real, non-internet, offline, analog life that I started to neglect my humble home on the web!
But I’m here now (even though it’s Saturday evening) and I’m uploading a new post!
The illustration you see above is my attempt to draw some monkeys, something I never did before (monkeys were never my favorite critters) and I’m still trying to come up with my perfect monkey character design!
From my sketchbook, done with color pencils and ink.
Last week I had an interesting dream dreamt early in the morning just before I woke up so I remebered it weel. In my dream I saw an illustration of a round cartoon bear skiing. As soon as I woke up I grabbed a piece of paper and sketched the bear I saw in my dream. Later that day I drew my first “bubblegum” bear. You can see it on top photo on the left.
Daily illustration.
Not so long ago I found this old 1957 magazine beside a trash can and I thought the cover looked funny so I photographed it. I found it funny because the name of magazine is Savremena tehnika (Contemporary technology) and it decipts some sort of vision of future where people are served by robots. When I was a little girl I was absolutely convinced when I grow up we will all have robotos to do chores for us, clean around the house, cook meals etc. I was also convinced everyone will drive around in flying saucers instead of cars so you can imagine my disappointment that any of that didn’t happen haha.
Today I felt inspired to sketch a robot I’d like to have. I don’t mind cooking and cleaning so much but I keep forgetting to water my plants so I would love to have a plant watering robot!
I’m feeling very happy today, because I opened an art shop, right here on my website! I had SO MUCH fun photographing art and putting my little store together! It seemed to be the best way for me to kick off this new week and feel full of energy and enthusiasm 
Right now I’m offering some of my older original drawings. Feel free to take a looksy and if you see anything you like you can mail me on asja@asjaboros.com and we can arrange something!
Oh, and I wish you a wonderful, super awesome week!
From my sketchbook, drawn last night: garden gnome and his bear buddy admiring gnome’s fancy, colorful flower.
Done with color pencils and ink.
My response to Illustration Friday topic this week: caged.
Some birds just refuse to be caged!
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
