While I’m busy working on new illustrations in my comfy and  messy little home studio I thought to share some  inspiration with you. Currently I feel very inspired by lovely 365 projects, you know those projects where you commit yourself to producing something (a drawing, photo, art journal page etc) for every day for entire year. I’m a huge fan of such projects because I know firsthand they require a great deal of determination, persistence and imagination and I truly admire everyone who endures through 365 days of being creative everyday!

So here are two 365 projects that caught my eye in lately and make me feel inspired ♥

Fistladypatate has been one of my flickr contacts for awhile. I like her Moleskine drawings and I love her charming Moleskine Projet 366 2012 in which she fills pages of her Moleskine planner with both photos and drawings (that’s probably why I like it so much, I’m also drawing+picture taking type of girl). Her line drawings are casual yet elegant, simple and sophisticated and very feminine.  Her photos are dreamy and have an irresistible lo-fi quality to them.

Here are few of my personal faves:

Other lovely 365 project that caught my attention is called Daily teacup, and just as the name says Jessica  is taking a photo of a teacup everyday. Her photos are simple, charming and make me want to drink gallons of tea even though I’m a coffee person.

Also, if you like Daily teacup you might fancy A deer a day, very sweet 365 project by Nikki of Lifegeval. She’s been taking dreamy photos of deer figurines, toys , jewelry and other things deer related for  over a hundred days now.

 Both projects make me want to start one of my own, if only I could commit my self to it :) How about you, have you ever done a 365? Would you like to start one?

old magazine
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!
