The Art Cafe

I love this 

Unjudging atmosphere 

Of small cafes,

Where everyone 

Has a laptop 

Next to a cup of coffee —

Or tea, all accepted —

And half of the people 

Wearing headphones,

Even if there is 

Music playing.

They all work together

On individual projects

Distractively eating 

Something, mostly to avoid

A worrying barista’s eye

Because they’ve been watching 

How you sit there for hours.

Everyone is free here,

Sometimes staring at nothing

Getting lost in the thoughts,

Sometimes chatting with friends,

Mostly typing in a hurry

To catch the idea before 

It runs away somewhere far 

Far away...wait, that’s already

Been somewhere. Let’s create

Something new but equally 

Beautiful,

Captivating,

Meaningful. 

We turn around, 

Looking for a supportive nod

And somehow 

It’s always here

(Usually from the same barista

Who you know will come soon

To suggest you eat something,

Because they know you’ve been here

All day and haven’t had anything,

And no, coffee doesn’t count).

So you come back here 

Over and over 

To keep believing

And keep working

Hoping that one day

Our dreams will

Come true.

And for now, 

Can I please have a coffee

And alright. A biscuit too.

For me, creation can only come out of a certain kind of unhappiness. They say in Japan, this thing like the hungry spirit - the hungry mind - is what gets you going forward.

A Plot on your plate

Red wine and Italian food And the lines are flying through you. I am trying to eat, can't you wait, Fantasies? But they are here to paint On your plate, if they will. They take creamy cheese To create frozen lands Then mix it with greens To fulfil the hero's quest. With a drop of red wine They'll create the main battle And the gold of the chicken Will become the king's crown. Somehow just within Only ten minutes You have a plot of the book Running, waiting for details. That's all great and incredible, Very impressive But I still want to eat Will you give me a minute?

How is your creative process? Are you more spontaneous or have a little list with ideas to draw? I love your style so so so so much <3.

Thank you 💜💜💜

I usually have a to do list yes, when I have an idea I write a brief note about it, if have no post its I right it on my hand to remember it.

Otherwise I always keep a white notebook by so I can jot down anything that comes to mind and get it out of the system. My hands itch if I don't draw it almost immediately.

Lately though, I've been much more messy because I have like 10 half done drawings at a time, roughs or linearts that are unfinished and lie there for weeks. There's always a more urgent idea that has to be done and completed.

For example that Levihan kiss in black BG with Hanji in commander jacket was in the works for more than two weeks. I kept watching it and something was off, I liked the idea but not how I made it. Then yesterday I found a photo on Pinterest that gave me just the right input, something clicked and I redrew it all like the one you see now.

Thank you for asking 🥰

Nothing interesting

Hm, I think that I can't show any interesting today, except of picture of one of 29 countries.

It's Meteli. I'm working on something interesting about that country. I hope I will finish it and not throw away:)
