The lion vanishes

Some people spend time seeking something that can disappear at anytime. Like A.H. film,the lady who vanishes wasn't an hallucination, but the way to make an idea alive for a long time. The lion is the primitive idea while sketching.

A midsummer’s night dream... Happy Summer Solstice. I do love Solstices. #summersolstice #escandinavian #northernsolstice #northernsunset #northernsummersolstice #summertimeinthenorth

In which direction to go? Today I have heard these words: “Could you be less straightforward from time to time?” I don’t like to be ceremonious. It is funny, I have never be as honest as I am being here, the more hypocrisy I feel around, the more sincere I become, however, always caring about the manners... I am not a beast but I am starting to feel like I have to run run run run run run run run run run run run run run run far away from all this... how should I call it? circus? I cannot breath, so many rules and restrictions. But perhaps, I am the only responsible. I am too much, they all said. Too much. Too much honest. Not good... It seems. Very very out of place. Goodness Minerva! Can you come again and give me a hand, please...? Oh, please. #stopmotion #happyandfun #plasticine #playingwithplasticine #flowery #experiment #animation

It turns out to be that I come from a country where people are hospitalable and happy,despite all problems they got. And I did not know it. I am in another country where I will always be the foreigner that speaks their language but in a weird way. People here are not happy at all and their faces when I walk in the street depress me so much. I wonder how they can live without truly smiling. And, it kills me that obsession for repressing their feelings and hiding their thoughts, that is not being polite but not daring to be alive, but it is only my opinion. Perhaps, my own country is not so bad, after all... I really miss bread (not those chewy and cold sandwiches) with squids and lemon.

Sometimes being forced to behave “normally” is just unbearable. There are times you have disappointed yourself so profoundly, that seems you have no skills to make a future for yourself. Where is that feverish talent you used to work so hard on? Do you have money to make plans and taking decisions? Do you enjoy what you are doing? Do you like where you live...? What are you doing? There is so much uncertainty, stress and disillusion, that keep moving forward is hard work. But then... after some time struggling with breathing, something very little you do attracts something else, very little too, very insignificant. And one day there it is, a friend that tells you that you are wonderful, that the fact that you haven’t achieved that certain balance that lets you live in peace with a smile in your face, doesn’t mean you are not valid. You don’t believe words that come from everyone, but from those that don’t expect anything in exchange. They want to help you, but never will tell you they are helping you. Then, you feel grateful because they’re there, not saying anything, but there is your friend. Only to be. You have to trust, you just have to. You will feel good, I promise. Come on, trust. #birds #fliyinghigh #littlebirdlittlebee #drawing #ink #blue #picturebook #sketchbook

This little drawing was the first one I did of my tiny friend. I don’t see the same things in other dogs that I saw in Colin. Goodbye baby Colin, goodbye... and have the most fun life you can have for being a dog. See you, Colin. #germanshorthairpointer #wolf #littlewolf #drawing #pencil

I met Colin when he was a puppy. We both were alone in a dark, grey and hostile city. It was like if we were orphan. I say “like if we were...” , just the feeling. When I was a child I had always wanted to live with animals and with a brother, so that I could learn how to fight with other children. But never did. My parents had to decide wether to keep a dog at home or me. I was completely alone in that city and I didn’t expect anything from anyone. I gave myself to this dog and I loved him like if he was the brother I never had. A mix between a baby and a friend, I guess. My stay in this forgotten city was warmer thanks to Colin and his innocence. Thank you Colin. #howl #howling #shortgermanpointer #greengrass #sketch

We used to be the only dark-haired in the park. We enjoyed each other’s company. I cared about Colin and Colin cared about my breakfast, lunch, early dinner and late dinner... #missingcolin #colinthedog #wolf #doginthepark #animalarium #animalsketch #afternoonparkfun #funwithdog #friends #greeneverywhere

I know a cat is a cat. I know they are free spirits. But, when he was hidden in somewhere in the garden and he heard my voice whispering for him,he came running to meet me... that was a very special cat... babyshú... #felines #freecats #rescuedcat #meowmeow

Every day I think I should go to a place where no one said words full of anger to start the day. First words in the morning that means nothing good. I guess those words even if it is just one means that it does not matter to whom the interlocutor is talking to. Why would someone want to make you feel you do not exist? What about our existence in that person everyday? I guess if someone does not care about the way that talks to you it means you should go far away. People pushes away other people calling them “you’re people”. If someone’s first words in the morning are “motherfucker”, then, something very beautiful in its beginning is dead now. As dead as a winter landscape. Fortunately, I can make colors are more vivid from the darkness, rather from blindness. In the meantime, let’s go for a swim in the cold... #nocturnal #wildnature #wintery #northernlights #northern #coldwaterlake #illustration #posca #nopeople #darkestdays #colorful #picturebook #scandinavianplaces
