This is a camera. And it takes pretty neat pictures. Trust me.
*Happy weekend everyone!*

I’ve been putting together little collections of random stuff and combining them with my doodles. Why? Because it’s fun!
And a little bit of shameless self-promotion: )

Here are five little things that kept me occupied in lately:
I made a small bear painting (5×5 inches) on canvas using deco paint pens.
*****
Also, I made some new DIY flyers/business cards. they are hand drawn and then photocopied.
*****
My mini Moleskine cover got a little face-lift. I decorated it with moo stickers with my own designs and with kitchy stickers from a local store.
*****
Today I kept myself busy cleaning my home studio. Here is a detail of a shelf with acrylic paints. It will probably get cluttered with other stuff pretty soon but for now it looks neat.

I sorted through my humble collection of decorative papers to see which one will get used a photo backdrop next.

September and October have always been my favorite months and Autumn has always been my favorite season. It’s the time I feel most inspired and productive and I am usually bursting with energy and new ideas. And I have especially good feeling about this Autumn, I am already in mood for creating awesome stuff and I can’t wait to start drawing intensely again after a Summer spent mostly taking pictures and working at a slower pace on more simple projects. In a about a week or so I will start blogging regular again after much needed break from online world and I have a ton of new photos and drawings to share!
For now here is some September flowers, three different versions of same drawing:

Sometimes when I don’t have time to seriously draw I doodle simple (usually abstract) shapes, scan and color them and save in one of my “work in progress” folders. Usually I find those simple drawings useful as additional layers when composing my illustrations.
( If you’re interested about the way I make my illustrations you can read about it here.)
So here are few of those simple doodles I made lately which may or may not end up as part of actual illustrations : )

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was pretty uneventful and laid-back (which I loved) and spent mostly making things, eating good food and listening to obscure 90′s punk rock bands! Yay!
Here is a little showcase of:

*stuff I made over the weekend*
*big doodle*
Sometimes there is nothing more relaxing than drawing a big pattern! I felt like I needed to get rd of some stress this weekend so I doodled this big piece (it’s 30×40 cm) and it was very therapeutic.
*messy cards*
In art, I love seeing accurately drawn, clean (and usually uninterrupted ) lines and I’m always striving to better the quality of lines in my work and to draw them with confidence. But sometimes, I also feel like taking a break from accuracy and control and just want create messy stuff : ) So, a couple of days ago I took a bottle of ink and dipped a grill stick into it and started drawing and making messy lines on cards. Later I colored them with crayons and ended up with fourteen messy cards, different than my usual style.
*gift tags*
I also made some gift tags using mini prints of my illustrations and ended up turning one of them into a key chain.

I asked my Mom what would she like me to get her on a Mother’s Day, and she replied “Well, you don’t have to get me anything for the occasion but when you find the time you can paint a fox on a canvas bag for me.” And that’s what I did yesterday.
I even made a little work in progress video ( I forgot to disable the sound so can hear all the wonderful background noises like cars passing by, me zipping my hoodie, and water in the sink and all that twice the speed, hehe). I had so much fun shooting the video, now I’m thinking to do more clips like this, maybe better lit and thought-out more and less improvised.
This how a finished bag looks like:

My Mom really liked it and she’s happy with her new bag!
