Hi guys. This is going to be a quick one. A few things that I am working on, or I shouldn’t be working on. It’s been really difficult this week and involves a lot of crying. She could be one minute very excited to go to the park, next minute have a meltdown and we…

I have bought the domain! Part of my new year resolutions, get back on blogging regularly and consume less. I am hoping blog at least once a week to record my kids’ growth and my life in general, things that I am working on, other blogs, movies and books that I enjoy, things I treasure.…

不知不覺已經是2022年! (非常cliché) 新的一年我沒有什麼大志，一年到尾每天也要湊仔，洗衫煮飯陪玩陪瞓，lego火車執完又執，到晚上兩個小朋友睡了我才開始catch up大學的功課，然後又嘗試早兩個小時起身繼續做功課，還有時間沖涼已很有ambition，所以我真的有心無力keep up with the social media game。在2021年下半年我完成了一本sketch journal，那是我很自豪的一件事。其他的，隨緣了。 這張畫是今年第一張在新的sketchbook畫起的畫，是一天早上我看到bertie 早起床還有半小時才要換衫上學的放空時間，看他的關於宇宙的書， 那一頁的標題是《The Life Cycle of Stars》。juno看著窗外太陽升起陽光照在小鎮的教堂外牆。太陽是恒星，相比起渺小的我們，和我們的悲喜，是永恒的，;教堂大概百年前在這裡，百年後仍屹立此地，但相對他們這個年紀，胖胖的臉龐，甚麼也笑大半天的幼稚氣，就像影射在教堂的日光，在各種家務和沉悶煩鎖事匆匆忙忙中，一轉身就不會再見了。 It’s 2022 before you know it! (What a cliché) I am not able to have much new year resolutions, every day is the same: same old laundry, cooking, breastfeeding the 2-year-old, changing nappies, teaching my 8-year-old everyday,…

By the end of last month I have received an email from Artful revealing the new artful box’s content: soft pastel. I am still quite happy to pay £35 for this edition although soft pastel wasn’t on the list of things I am going to buy. Bring it on, consumerism! About 6 years ago I…

The days with children are always long. Especially in the summer holidays. My son has gone back to school for 1.5 weeks already. Every morning feels like this. Knackered before the day started. One coffee after another. Recently I have finished one commission work and working on another one. I am not quite sure if…

All join in! After dinner the kids were playing on the floor. I naively thought I could finally sit down and draw them quietly. But Juno stood up immediately and insisted drawing on my sketch book, then Bertie joins in to draw his sci-fi fantasy. So we sat together until bedtime. For the paint, I…

I have taken advantage of the Scrawlrbox and got some new Posca and Derwent Pencils. With the limited palette I started some super quick and simple drawings and I am quite happy with it. Recently I have rediscovered pencil colours, as they are clean and very versatile, and I can use them when I am…

After 5 years I find I still want to keep a blog. After 5 years I am living with another soon-to-be 2 year old toddler and a 7-year-old growing little boy. After 5 years I am still living in Inverkeithing, but this time we have bought our own house with a sizeable garden. After 5…

Happy new year! Like everybody, I want to make a list of New Year Resolutions on the first of January. The vibrate 2015 is over, and miraculously Bertie sleeps by 8pm tonight, giving me the rare chance to enjoy a glass of wine and a box of chocolate from my beloved ones at Christmas. For…
