It's been a while since I've done a commission, but I'm delighted to be working again for a musical artist, Marian Tem. It was a real pleasure to work with Marian, who gave me a lot of freedom to interpret his music in an illustration. So many thanks to him for his trust ✨🖤✨

☁️ Sea of Melancholy ☁️ An illustration that might allow me to explore a new project. I don't know if it will last 1 month, 1 year or years. But I want to listen to the songs of these faded and forgotten worlds. And I'm starting to build a little around that This illustration will also be sent directly to the P.treons, who have chosen the tier for this, as soon as it's printed. This year I'd like to be able to send seasonal thank-you gifts for your support on P.treons, and I'm delighted that this illustration will be a marker for something new ✶♡✶

☄️ Leap of Faith ☄️

The second illustration was made for the exhibition! I wanted to show a kind of dynamism, the beauty of the infinite possibilities of the body in a way ! It's the first time I've experimented with BLUE. And it was so cool to do !

Long time without a post! I was cooking for an exhibition during the summer. This one is the first one of it!

"Contrition"

Really fun to experiment on this one !

❙ Judgment ❙

"The light grew brighter and brighter. One could not help but be drawn inexorably towards it."

This is the last card of the 22 major arcana for Mirror Arcana. And I'm really glad to finish on this one. I feel like it was the one to do now. Thanks for all your support 💖

🔥The Chariot🔥

Walking. Running. Resting. Breathing. Contemplating.

There's only one card left, and once again, the Chariot card represents my current state of mind. I hope "The Judgment" will be an interesting card!

You can still pre-order the tarot just here : https://mirror-arcana.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

✨ Bye 2023 ✨

2023 is behind us and it's hard to believe that we've moved on to 2024. What a year. WHAT A YEAR. One thing's for sure, it's been a busy one. Filled with everything you could possibly imagine. Laughter, joy, pain, success, failure, rage, anger, disappointment, but also great encounters and strong bonds ❤️

Thanks to you, one of my dream projects is taking shape and I couldn't be more grateful! THANK YOU for the Kickstarter, and special thanks to those of you who have been following my adventures on Twitch for over 3 years, supporting me, being so present and loving, and letting me know when it's time to take care of myself. And another huge thank you to the incredibly talented artists who compose the music for Mirror Arcana. I feel like I'm having a mini-Christmas every time I receive a new piece of music.

Despite everything, 2023 was trying in many ways, and I think the end of the year made me pay for not having taken a break, either physically or mentally. So, more than ever, 2024 will be a time for calming down, as much as possible. Learning to say 'no' when it's too much, or just not possible.

So my wish for you this year is to listen to yourself and take it easy as much as possible. A lot of things are tough at the moment, and I think it's in the moments of calm, of respite, that you can find comfort, whether it's with your loved ones, in the bonds you've created, in creation, in anything that speaks to you, reading, gardening, music, or simply having fun.

I don't know if it's the fact that I've been in contact with my 1? year old niece this Christmas, but seeing her laugh so generously at little things has made me realise that this has become something rarer in my own daily life. I think that more than ever, it's important to manage to inject life, pleasure and laughter as much as possible, as paradoxical as that may seem. But finding what comforts us, what amuses us, inspires us and thrills us seems increasingly vital to me, to leave ourselves the possibility of imagining a more flamboyant future ����

Thank you to those who trusted me with the commissions, and all the musical artists who follow me on Mirror Arcana, and compose magnificent music. ❤️

Take good care of yourselves, take the time, as much as you can, and we'll see you as soon as possible ❤️

☄️ The Hermit ☄️

Sometimes I'd just like to be there, cradled in crystal waters under a starry sky. And nothing else.

✶♡✶

I'm really glad to post this one. That was really my mindset over the summer, (even if I didn't stop working, sadly) and i feel like I'm really connected to this card. It speaks to me at many levels. So, I hope it will for you too !

[sourisdecoton]

⚖️ Justice ⚖️ Seeking truth and harmony within ourselves. An eternal balancing act, taking the first step in an uncertain reality.

I'm working really hard on the Tarot Deck this summer, I hope I'll come soon with some nice news ! But for now, I can just say that I don't sleep a lot haha

Take care
