  • Weekly round-up

    So, as I said, I was busy with my homework and went to London last weekend. So things have been slow. But I have still done plenty of drawings. Here are a few: I have started this a while ago, its a mixed media on marker paper work. This is typical scene in my house…

  • A day like this

    If you are looking for advice, you are at the wrong place. I write this blog not because I am an expert of parenting, but because I haven’t a clue, because I am so busy yet so bored. Don’t take this as a hint and tell me what I should do, what I should try,…

  • Sketchbook log
