Oh, hey there! It´s been a while!
Since everything went a little wild lately, I´m trying to get more organized and write here on a more regular schedule.
(Bad Nelly! How dare you leave those readers alone? Grmpf!)

So, what´s new? I am on my way to self-sufficiency, making my way as an illustrator and artists and hoping to make people happy with my stuff.
There has been a developement towards cute cats with ornaments. I think that this brings out the personality of the cat even more and I plan to do customized pictures of people or their pets too. If you are interested in having yourself or your little friend portrayed like this, just write me a message.
There is quite some reading to do before I will know all the wits about opening an etsy store, so I will post all small steps here.
I am curious about making acrylic jewlery too, though I know very little about it by now.

Has anyone else got the feeling that 2010 will be special? I know, I know, the media tells us this every damn year, but I don´t.
(well, there is a point at saying “Hey girl, your blog isn´t even one year old, but you can come back at me, when I do the same at 2011, ok? Deal?)

By the way, we have about 45 guppy babies. From one mother.
I can´t believe it, I wonder how she managed not to burst into pieces.
Can you imagine what this would look like on a human being? A hot-air balloon mama!!!
She seems to be mad about being fat though, for she ate quite a couple of her own babies before we could take her out and into another aquarium.
Still the babies are very cute and clever. I´m curious what color they will be.

Today the PS2 game “Shadow of the Colossus” finally came in and I have to say that this is probably the game with the hugest landscape that I know.
The scenery is beautiful. There is nothing except you, your horse (now I´m getting all girly, but that horse is a cutie! Appart from the fact that the way you have to controll your horse comes very close to how you would have to do it on a real horse…), some lizards and eagles and that´s about it.
Oh, and of course the colossuses. (is that the correct plural? If yes: That word is epic fail. Colossusesesesuses. Uhm, yes.)
But I guess there will have to be an extra post about this, for this is far too good to be handled in a few sentences.

I hope the new year treated you kind so far! Seeya soon!

This is an illustration I have done last week, inspired by the techniques of Suzi Blu.

I love the combination of dreamy patterns with playful and gracious animals like cats.
As soon as there are more of them, you will find more about it on etsy or other shops. Informations will be posted here.
Enjoy!

It is so small that most of us don´t even notice. We just read it and accept it as a part of the typographical knickknack.
But how troublesome this little guy can be when writing yourself!
Remember the english teacher saying stuff like “Oh, I´m so sorry, but you´ll have to watch out for the small things too!” and
handing you back your test, that is one grade down from what it should be without the red circles around all the apostrophes?
There is a solution for this drama!
