Confession. I’m an envious person. I envy many people, mostly for their talents and skills rather than material possessions. My envy is light and colorless.

I’m sure that once you’ve seen my doodles on Etsy, or read a word of what I had to say on this blog, you immediately felt like you had to get to know me better… find out what I eat for breakfast and what color is my refrigerator. Well, I prefer to remain a mystery [...]

And I love Aro! He’s cool, smart and intriguing. What started as an innocent question from a TwiMom customer, progressed through a Post-it Sketch, finally came to happy conclusion as a full blown Portrait of Aro. Here’s some “work-in-progress” for you:

My lovely Etsy customer from France was inquiring if I, by any chance, had a “companion” print for the Heidi of the Volturi that she has purchased. I decided that it was not nice to keep poor Heidi so lonely and started drawing a matching portrait of Aro. It is certainly inspired by Martin Sheen’s [...]

I can swear there was a group on Flickr on which you could ‘pimp’ your Etsy purchases. I can’t find it (anybody?) right now, but hey, what’s my blog for pimping? Chopped liver? To tell you the truth, I’m always curious how my artwork ends up looking in somebody else’s houses. Some wonderful [...]

Let me [...]
