Two years ago I watched a tv show that brightened up my life exactly when I needed it. I loved its protagonist so much that I ended up watching everything he'd ever worked in, and I was forever changed.
I'm in awe of Rhys. I love his energy, his tenderness, his dedication to make people happy. He is not ashamed to show his most vulnerable side, and he's not afraid of being a weirdo in a world of people who are ready to bully. When I grow up to be 50, I want to be like him.

There is another option. We both stay. - January 2024
Last year I patiently waited for the end of Ted Lasso, as I was sure they were going to have the main characters get together and I'd get a beautiful picture to portray. Spoiler: they did not. The only consolation I got is seeing the actors singing "Shallow" together with more love and chemistry than any other couple who ever did. It took me countless hours to finish this; the reference photo is a grainy screenshot from a video and I had to guess most of the details. Jason looked cross-eyed until the very last correction, and maybe he still does, but I guess it's the price he'll have to pay for having Ted leave Rebecca.

Right here, by your side. December 2023.
I never thought I'd end up loving the weird, unbalanced, toxic relationship between a vampire and his familiar who became his trusted bodyguard... They are both idiots in their own way, idiots with different love languages, who just can't help saving each other. Those red robes were a nightmare to recreate, but their cute noses made up for the trouble. I messed up the background, which probably would have looked better in black. My bad.

Double Threat, December 2023
A few months ago I was tidying up the notes in my phone and I found one from Aug 14th, 2022 simply stating "Gentlebeard in Reylo's thigh grab pose". I don't remember when I got the idea (probably while sleeping) but it was good enough for me to sketch it. I am still pretty bad on a digital canvas, so I sketched Rey and Ben's thigh grab on paper, then moved on my iPad to transform them into Stede and Ed. I'm not convinced I like them, but they're still my art babies, so I'll love them just the way they are.

You still believe in me, October 2023
And after all I've done to you, How can it be you still believe in me?
Where do I even start? I loved this kiss with my whole heart. I loved the moonlight scene callback. I loved that the moon wasn't full yet. I loved Stede's sudden hunger for it, as if he can't have enough of this huge, beautiful, lusty feeling he's never experienced before (yes, I'm a "Stede is demisexual" believer). I loved his hand through Ed's hair, mirroring what Ed did during their previous kiss. And I love the cold colour palette, the complete opposite of the warm, golden tones of their first kiss. Please stream Our Flag Means Death if you can... I need to know how their innkeeping is progressing.

This is a safe space ship - October 2023
Season 2 of Our Flag Means Death is over, and I needed to make this doodle to elaborate my feelings, and possibly create a pin so I can take this love with me everywhere.
(I uploaded it on Redbubble - link on my home page, if anyone is interested)

When I finished these portraits, last year, I was impatient to share them so I posted them separately.
I started them while I was ill with covid, and used them as a lifeline to distract myself from feeling guilty of infecting both my parents. I think you can tell which of my drawings were made during a stressful time, by how colourful and bright they are.
I didn't plan to have them look like sacred icons, but I guess that's what I needed right then. Also, I think we can all agree they deserve to look like saints, because they've never done anything wrong in their lives, ever.
So here they are together, finally. They are a set.

Christopher Eccleston as Hamlet, September 2023
I recently read Christopher's memoir, which I intentionally avoided for years, because I knew he was going to talk about his father's illness and I was scared it would make my anxiety even worse. In the end I'm glad I waited, but I shouldn't have worried - even though our situations were different, reading about it made me feel seen and understood. I now feel like rewatching everything he ever played in, because he is one of my absolute favs and the way he expresses emotion through those eyes… I also really wanted to test my skills with another ten-years-later challenge, so I used the same subject, but different pose and media.

The Spiderboys, February 2023
I made this as a gift for my Spiderman-loving friend, but I started it while going through cervical pain that gave me nausea. Therefore I had an idea: why not using watercolour to finish it faster? It was a disaster. It really is not my strongest medium. I somehow salvaged the drawing by tracing strong lines and making it look like a comic strip. At least it's funny.

Stephen Fry, July 2023 // Stephen Fry, November 2013
Ten years ago I decided I was going to improve my drawing skills. Considering my lack of discipline and various health obstacles, even though I didn't make exceptional progress, I'm happy with how my technique improved. I'm more patient and confident, sometimes I still suck, but I am aware of why and know how to fix it. I also use better paper! I'm going to try and redraw some of my first efforts - like this portrait of the birthday boy I made on November 2013.

Your father would be proud, July 2023
Rogue One is my favourite Star Wars movie (there, I said it) because everyone dies, and yet hope triumphs. I love the decision of not having the two main characters develop romantic feelings, which would have felt fake and forced, but have them understand each other profoundly and accept their faith. This hug is worth a million kisses.

"We could have been... us." - August 2023
I've drawn my fair share of heartbreaking kisses, but I've never been sadder while drawing a kiss, ever, in my life. On a completely different note, I had a lot of trouble balancing the shadows and the lights; I couldn't find the right colour for the background until I ended up using a bright new golden pencil; I had so much fun drawing Crowley's hair and I hated Aziraphale's white curls; I don't really care about any of this, though. I needed to make it to elaborate the pain.
