I'm incredibly excited to share this wonderful news: my Ko-Fi shop is now open, and the first set of stickers is available! Yes, you heard it right — the stickers are here!
Discover five Christmas-themed stickers, available in 4cm by 4cm or 6cm by 6cm sizes. You can purchase them individually or as a discounted pack of five. I personally tested them on my printer today, and the quality is fantastic!
These stickers are perfect for adorning name tags, gifts, cards, or anything else you want to infuse with the holiday spirit! If you do buy some, feel free to post them on your social networks and tag me!
if you like crafting and also free things, might i suggest the antique pattern library?
it’s a not for profit that’s gathering books, patterns, and other materials related to crafting that are out of copyright (or getting permission from copyright holders in some cases) in order to share them online. they scan items, clean them up, then make everything available for free!
free things are great, especially when you’re just starting to get into something. like oh, i’m supposed to spend money on this hobby i just picked up 20 minutes ago???
the first time i ended up on the site, i seriously spent hours just trawling through everything. there’s the usual suspects like knitting, crochet, embroidery, but there’s also woodwork, calligraphy, and books on things like how to mount and frame pictures. with cross stitch patterns, they also make modern charts with the dmc colour codes available.
I live in complete poverty and disability. Trying to make art to sell as prints as I am not getting commissions the way I used to. I am disabled and diabetic, immunocompromised from recent surgery, and I live in a traditional filipino house partially destroyed by storms and termites. I work 3 jobs, but they are all very unstable. Please please please, if you've ever derived joy from my art or insight from my posts or book recs, if you could pick up a print, send a tip, or subscribe to my patreon where I have 400+ exclusive drawings / early access, it would help keep me alive, in the most literal sense. I have been given a second chance at life, and I would like to keep living. Thank you so much

Sorry for the radio silence, but things have been hectic since November last year.
As some of you might know, I'm in the process of opening my company.
Last month, I've been given the opportunity to have a temporary company number so I could start selling my products and try the whole shebang. But at the same time, it is very stressful.
I have that company number until the end of next month, and for now I got two orders, one from my dear husband and one from someone from New York!
If you are interested, here they are.

Warning, thoughts on the current state of the world bellow the cut.
So, I've been working on a little something and I want to share because... because I'm very exited about it XD
I don't know when I'll have time to work on this, but meet E from a little something I'm cooking on the side. I can't tell much more for now because it would spoil the story I'm currently writing, but know that this is an OC that just bulldozed its way into my brain a few weeks ago and now, they are living there, rent free.
I have many ideas for many drawings with them and it's making my brain and fingers itch so much between writing and drawings I don't know which one I should do first XD
So to scratch the itch, I quickly put this together today ^^
On another note, I need to share how deeply saddened I am with everything that's been happening in the world these past two years. I don’t usually talk about this here, since this space is for sharing my art, but I can’t stay quiet anymore.
My heart bleeds everyday for the people who live in countries at war who got hit by natural causes, or are just trying to survive on a daily basis. What’s happening across the Atlantic really worries me and I have this deep feeling it’s going to make things worse everywhere, including here in France with how our power/money hungry monarch is friend with the blond clown.
It makes me sick to my stomach everyday a little more just thinking about everything. So, to anyone who needs to hear it, my thoughts are with you. I know it’s not much, but it’s all I can offer for now, and feeling so helpless really gets to me.
I truly hope we’ve hit rock bottom, so the only way forward is up, and that brighter days are on the horizon. But a part of me worries that it’s going to take a long time to bounce back. Until then, I sincerely hope everyone finds a safe place to hold on until this storm passes.
One touch might be all it takes to feel whole again.
I started working on a different drawing last week, but it's still in progress because new inspiration struck in the meantime.
This piece, which took me less than two days, was inspired by Kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold, and a CD booklet image from Nothing But Thieves.
These cracks tell a story of past wounds—life’s marks on her. Yet, near his touch, they glow with veins of gold, as if his presence is gently mending her, revealing the beauty in her scars and showing her that these fractures are what shape her. They make her beautiful because she overcome what broke her.
As I mentioned in my last Instagram story, there won’t be any Art Mondays until further notice. Life’s been tough lately with way too much going on, and I just don’t have the time to turn my drawings into content.
It’s been weighing on me for a while now, slowly draining my creativity. I’m working on figuring out a way to post again without it feeling like a chore—whether by changing my schedule or the way I approach it. Until then, I’ll likely shift to sharing stories on Instagram on Mondays and posting drawings once they’re finished.
As for the rest of my social media, I’ll post whenever a piece is done or when inspiration strikes.
Now for some good news: "Night Terrors" is finally finished!
I had to rework a lot (the blood, the lighting, Logan’s shorts…) and it took longer than expected to get it right. But I’m happy with how it turned out in the end.
I also had a blast designing the hallway, even though it doesn’t exactly match the vision I had 10 years ago.
You can find the original text of the whole scene under the cut ;)
See you around, lovelies.
As he turned to face his alarm clock, that showed 3:08 AM, he heard a scream in the hallway. It was a long and high pitched scream of pain at first, quickly followed by cries for help. Getting up in a few seconds, Logan burst into the corridor and followed the sound that led him to Amalia’s bedroom. He had heard her sometimes during the nights, as she had some bad dreams, but nothing like that before. As he violently opened her door, he found himself face to face with Liam. The boy was shaking hard as he watched his sister twitching and turning in her bed, sheets covered with dark and thick blood. She was still screaming unintelligible words and Logan gently but quickly pushed her brother on the side to kneel next to her.
“Amalia!” he first called her with a strong voice, trying to wake her up. “Come on, Amalia! It’s okay. Wake up! Look at me!”
But she wouldn’t open her eyes. He tried again as Jean and Scott, whose bedroom was next to his, came into the room, awaken by the redhead’s screams.
“Take care of the boy!” Logan yelled to them without looking away from the bloody shape of the redhead.
He put his hand on her face, wanting to slap her to wake her up at first but couldn’t bring himself to do so. So he grabbed her shoulders and shook her hard instead.
“Amalia!” he called her again. “Damn it, Amy! Wake up!”
Suddenly she took a deep breath in and coughed some blood while opening her eyes. They were wide and bloodshot as they frantically searched something through the room.
“Liam!” she screamed. “Where is Liam!”
“He’s with Jean and Scott, he’s safe, Amy.” he told her, gently. “Don’t worry. It was a bad dream.”
She tried to sit up but another scream escape her mouth before she coughed some more blood.
“What happened?” she asked between fit of coughing, her voice hoarse and weak.
But Logan shook his head as he didn’t know what to say.
“I’ll uncover you now to see if it’s bad, ok?” he told her instead, trying to calm her even if he was worried. “You trust me? I’m not going to hurt you, you know that, right?”
She nodded and closed her eyes, waiting for him to look at her wounds. As gently as he could, he peeled the covers from her body to see why she was hurt. Even if he thought he had seen everything until now, nothing he had lived through could prepare him for what he saw. The bed was drenched with blood and lots of her guts were spread out on the mattress. He pushed his worrying thoughts away to focus on the situation. The only weapon he saw was a ball of spike made of some kind of metal that was plunged deep inside her flesh. The ball was still moving like it has its own life and Amalia was trying hard to suppress her screams.
“Oh my god! What is that?” she cried as she saw the weapon cutting through her wide opened stomach that was constantly regenerating itself. “Get it off of me!”
She was panicking and he soothed her with more words.
“It’s gonna be okay. Look at me!” he told her with a deep voice. “I need you to calm down and to trust me, ok?”
She nodded, tears in her eyes and sweat on her forehead. As gently as he can, he plunged his hand into her abdomen and grabbed the deadly ball that started cutting through his own flesh. With clenched jaws, he grabbed it and tried to yank it out of her, making her scream in the same time. But the weapon wasn’t moving from its bloody nest. He did it again, before noticing his actions were pulling her arm behind her back.
“Ok, Amy. I need you to calm down. I think you’re doing this to yourself. It’s your hand that is attacking you.” he told her, putting his bleeding hand on her cheek.
“What?”
She didn’t understand what he was telling her. Stroking her cheeks with his thumb he told her once again:
“You’re doing this to yourself. Maybe because you had a nightmare and your body reacted to eliminate the threat. It’s your hand that is in your flesh.”
She looked at the deadly ball of spikes before breathing in deeply. She coughed another mouthful of blood before closing her eyes and frowning. She focused on her hand and reshaped it as quickly as she could before getting it out behind her back. A few more tears escaped her eyes as she felt her skin and guts healing themselves.
“It’s ok, now. It’s over.” Logan told her while gently pulling her toward him, burying her head in his chest and rocking her gently. “It’s over.”
She wasn’t bleeding anymore but she was paler than usual from the blood loss. It was only then that he got aware of the commotion in the hallway. He heard Kitty screaming at someone to let her pass, while Marie and Bobby were trying to calm her down. He knew he had to get up and to calm the students too, but he couldn’t bring himself to release her.
“You okay?” he asked her as he helped her to get up.
She tiredly nod and tried to stand on her legs but they gave away under her weight. So Logan grabbed her under her knees and behind her back before carrying her to the corridor.
“It’s okay, every one.” he talk louder than he usually did to cover the noise. “It was just a bad dream. Amalia is okay. I’ll take her to the infirmary now, so you should go back to you rooms and try to get some sleep.”
Happy Art Monday
A few weeks ago, just before my two-week break, I shared a video of some line art without context. Today I'm back with this new video featuring more colors! It's still a work in progress, and I estimate I'm about 1/3 of the way through
This drawing is titled "Night Terrors," named after a chapter of a story I wrote 10 years ago. It is set in the X-Men movie universe right after "Days of Future Past," and, as you can see, it features Logan Holwett. Shocker: I never finished the story, even though I only have two chapters left!
After watching Deadpool 3 for my birthday, last august, and seeing all the fan art and fan fiction about Wolvie (and finding some amazing pose references), I felt inspired to illustrate one of the most strong moment of the story. I might revisit it in the future to finish it and improve it, as my writing style evolved since then.
See you next Monday
I'm sharing this time lapse of my current WiP without much of a contexte because I'm seating in a vortex of chaos at the moment and I don't have time to do more.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to post anything on the two upcoming Mondays, so sorry in advance if you don't hear from me.
