Well life is funny sometimes. Needed to be rehoused because of a soot damage. (My downstairs neighbor got some electrical work done which went wrong). Luckily we have double insurance and noone got hurt. Now I need to rebuy a lot of things but at least i got amazing new colours and art supplies.

I made this panda some time ago and thought I should share it. It became a gift for a friend. I hope that friend soon will get better since they are having a hard time and it hurts me to see them suffer of those hardships. Please take care of yourself and your loved ones!

The octopus is quite clever. They can even open glass from the inside! Recently I researched a little more about them and were amazed about their intelligence and camouflage skills. But the opening of jars stuck with me. So here are a drawing made with ink.

Day 3 of inktober! Roasted Marshmellows and one got burned...

Inktober day 2 with the theme tranquil. I like to look out of the window with a blanket and just see the world pass by. It usually make me feel calm but also like the universe is enormous and I'm just a little person. I found an old ink pen but it didn't work and I thought some water worked so that's the reason the picture looks dirty. I totally forgot the drawing for today so it's quite messy too... Sorry.

I thought about it alot and made up my mind to try inktober. As first day is poisonous my first thought was a amanita. It's more like a sketch but yeah... I hope a bullet pen is okay for use?

A painting I’m still working on. I started this while I was in an mental Hospital at an open section. My depression went worse on the 31 January when I started having more horrible thoughts than ever before. Luckily I told some family and we went to the mental emergency room, where doctors said I should get help and needed to stay at the facility. I’m better again after some months and is attending an outpatient Clinic, which is helping me with the best care and giving me advice on how to handle my depression onwards. My advice is to never underestimate yourself when you are feeling horrible. It’s better to seek help.

Why I painted a phoenix? I think it have to do something about out of the ashes rises something new. Though when you are blinded by yourself, it can be difficult.

Sorry for long post.
