Ok, you’ll have to imagine this. I’m sitting at work, in a tanktop and flip flops. It’s quite hot and humid, and there’s water dripping from the skylight. LOUD, rhythmic dripping. Chinese water torture is nervously biting nails in the corner… I am also bored to death and dying to go back to reading my [...]

Radiant Shadows by Melissa Marr My rating: 4 of 5 stars I keep going back and forth with these books. I absolutely loved the first one.

First, there was the book. Then I started seeing red eyes everywhere. Finally, I gave up and in just one evening this illustration was born. Here’s a scan of the final drawing, in case you’re interested: “IT GIVES LIFE. IT DEALS DEATH. IT WATCHES ALL. INCARCERON is a prison unlike any other…” If all goes [...]

Allright, allright, perhaps the sketch itself is not all that pretty as the title suggests. But the intention is there. After glimpsing on the web some paparazzi shots of actors involved in the filming of upcoming movie Bel Ami based on Guy de Maupassant’s story, I found myself watching Moulin Rouge and drawing smoking courtesans… [...]

… They are so rare 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: And this is a final result: Now, I feel [...]

Can’t really call this post “work in progress” cause what I’m going to talk about can hardly constitute “work” The winter break went by in a blink of an eye, all my gargantuan plans remained just that… plans. But I have been busy with mostly enjoyable stuff. • Scanned and cleaned up 2 drawings that [...]
