Art book, Japan and the new year

Hello friends,

Again, thank you so much for all the suggestions when I asked about what you wanted to see in my art book. I will do my very best to implement as much as possible.

I have also started thinking about Kickstarter tiers and goodies that come along with them. So far, I have stickers, prints, enamel pins, bookmarks, postcards, possibly apparel (t-shirts or tote bags) phone/desktop wallpapers and a digital tutorial. And for the limited tiers: signed books, original drawings and personal notes inside some books). If you‘re missing something, please let me know!

I also started going through my sketchbooks on the hunt for pencil sketches I‘d like to include in the book. So I started scanning and cleaning those up. There are also going to be a lot of drawings that I‘ve never shared anywhere else before. And I‘m creating new sketches as well. I‘m really enjoying doing some worldbuilding for my Phantasma project at the moment. I haven’t painted anything for it in a while and seeing the sketches made me miss it. It’s definitely my big resolution for next year to move forward with the project and finish a lot more illustrations.

At the beginning of January, I will be in Seville, Spain doing my workshop at La Galeria Roja. Signups are still open, if you’re interested. It’s 10-12 January and we have a total of 20 hours together to create some art! Registration at info@lagaleriaroja.com

And I’m so incredibly excited to travel to Japan in spring! And it’s even more awesome that I‘m going together with Lorena. We‘ll be visiting Tokyo and Kyoto, with some day trips to Nara and other places. And during all this, I‘ll be tabling at Design Festa in Tokyo on 11-12 April. 🌸🌸🌸

That’s all the news for now.

Happy holidays!! ❄️
